The Yokomo Z2-118P2 graphite battery plate (ver.2) serves as a direct replacement plate to hold the battery on the YZ-2 chassis. Compared with the earlier YZ-2 plate it is described as thinner and lighter, intended to shave mass around the battery without altering the chassis geometry.
Fitment is straightforward: the plate locates in the stock YZ-2 battery position and uses the chassis' original battery mounting points. It is recommended to reuse the original screws and brackets where appropriate and to confirm correct seating before final torque to avoid chipping the graphite edges.
For tune changes the ver.2 graphite plate adds a small reduction in weight that can shift balance and handling. Enthusiasts employ it for incremental mass savings and a slightly lower centre of mass while retaining the standard battery location for consistent behaviour.
