Summary

Slight modifications with V1.2. Switched to using M3x20 screws instead of the threaded rods and lock nuts.

Stumbled across a carbon fiber front brace for the YZ-2 and thought that I would attempt to make one.

Mounts to front bulkhead and old battery post spot on the side guards. I re-used the ZS-SS325 threaded rods from my CA L2 to attach to the Z2-002SPT YZ-2T side guards and secured with a nylock nut. I am also using the Z2-002BT front bulkhead with this brace. You will want to use longer screws for the attachment to the front bulkhead.

"After testing the Cal3 fully braced, the car was way more consistent. Jumping and landing was improved."
