Yota 2 axles suck. They can keep it. The knuckle bolts have so little thread to bite into they constantly loosen and strip out no matter how much loctite you use.

Next Christmas I must have One! I have a CC01 and CR01, both Jeeps. It will be great to swap bodies back and forth.

order the SWB kit and i'll swap you some cast yota 1s with knuckle bearing mod.

if i ever get to run my Yota 2'd scx truggy i guess i will find out just how bad they are

P.S. mods - - this isnt meant as a direct buy/sell/trade offer so dont take it that way

Castings are slightly larger in diameter, different knuckles, don't turn as sharp as yota 2s. Xvds not as strong. ..

I got that from another thread.

It seems strange to me to have a new chassis designed for an older Tamiya body, and especially one with so many scale flaws to fix. I guess it might work with the Chinese Jeep body, which is not the same size as the Tamiya body. The Tamiya YJ has a 9.5" wheelbase, where the Chinese YJ has an 11" wheelbase.

Oh well. I still want one.

Would be really cool if they came out with a Suzuki Samurai hard body to make use of the SWB.

Yes,yota axles have no place on a jeep...

Should have used the K44's..then it would be more awesomer!
