@Danosborne6661: That's a sweet little car you got there!:cool:
|
I took out the weight from my car, no brass bulkhead, no lipo weight and the car is much better i only have 20g just in front of the servo, no alloy parts. You just need to raise or lower the inner ball joints & lengthen or shorten the links to adjust grip from slippery to grippy tracks. :thumbsup:

Can anyone else remember how you shimmed the gears? |
I received the carbon chassis, front and rear-towers. I will take some pictures of them tonight and show them here and on Facebook (url is in my signature). Mounted and unmounted of course. The first "batch" is just to test the production process and quality.
I will test them Wednesday and possibly Saturday on a tight indoor track. As far as I can see and feel, the quality of the parts is fine. Already I'm having another idea for a small tuning part to raise the gearbox. But this is still in the drawings. :D |
Pictures are up at : http://blog.rccss.nl/2013/10/b-max2-...carbon-please/
Will make some pictures of the carbon chassis tomorrow. :thumbsup: |
And pictures of the chassis: http://blog.rccss.nl/2013/10/well-be...pics-included/
Will be testing all parts tomorrow.:thumbsup: |
Sweeeet! :thumbsup: What price range do you expect for the individual items?
|
I will keep an eye on you tomorrow, skyaflake!! :D

For the chassis I'm aiming at the same price (or cheaper) as the Alu chassis. Guess around 40 euros. These are all estimates, but I want to have good offer for everyone for a fair price. :thumbsup: Just keep checking the blog or facebook. I, of course, will post here too. I've received a lot of visitors, thanks everyone :wub @dikke hond, you bet, lol. :D |
Quick question does the ver 2 bmax2 come with ti turnbuckles? On yokomo website it shows a few pics with them fitted on the v2 car and other pics the steel ones?
|
Hi Mark, I don't think it does. The only differences seem to be chassis, idler gears and geared diff. I think.

2.5mm, flex is between the plastic and alu chassis, but the carbon chassis weight is less. I'm going to play around with the parts tonight at a indoor track where I drive regularly.
|
Cheers for the info Disco :thumbsup:
|
Did some testing yesterday: chassis was great. A little bit more flex than the Alu, spot on for me. My motor was a little bit too much for the track (again), will put in a 8.5 for the next time. The towers were good, no problems with them. :thumbsup:
|
Did you crash enough to test them properly? :p
|
Has anyone found a good delrin replacement for the rear-rear hinge pin bushings?
The stock ones seem to be wearing out soon. |

No real crashes to be honest. But testing will continue of course :thumbsup: Quote:

Yes, i did in summer. Now only carpet and astro.
Well it's obviously from dirt and i had seen some Ghea delrin inserts, though they were for Associated vehicles. |

Team Azarashi "Erithus" has been released. Will be available soon (early mid November) at your Azarashi dealer. (In the UK that's DMS and X-Factory UK Dealers..) :thumbsup:
I'll (see sig) be taking in a couple as well. But for the UK guys out there ordering at DMS would be easier. |
Sorry but I think that body is just ugly. Im one of the few people that are for the cab foward designs.
|
I kinda like it. I miss non cab-forward bodies, even though I like cab-forward as well.
|
Most bodies can look great with a decent paint job; sometimes you just need to get used to it. When the Bulldogs were released, I thought what a f*ugly shell, but now I like them and hope there'll be one for the MR in the not too distant future.
For now, I am without a buggy and will 17.5 turn race short course with the other guys in my club - unfortunately, there are hardly any buggy drivers left. My son, however, found the MR much to his liking, and is getting better and better, at the age of ten possibly already better than me. He will need a mid-motor shell to match my one-race-old RM Finnisher. Well, I've always liked Azarashi, and my son has got no choice! :p |
For dirty low traction tracks, which is better (rear motor)?
Standard size lipos and esc on top http://gigantesrc.com/116-168-thickb...-10-tt-2wd.jpg Shorty size lipos and esc behind the lipo http://www.petitrc.com/setup/yokomo/...9/2V6P6537.JPG |

I've not run the bmax 2 as a rear motor, but on dirt/clay I much prefer my b4.1 with a shorty and esc mounted in the space behind, than with a full length stick pack. I'd go shorty myself. |
Did play around last night on my local indoor track. We were allowed to use traction additives. I just put on some old (pretty) worn out Nanobytes, car was great, despite the lack of on-power steering.
I just need to setup the car for a little bit more on-power steering, probably I just need to loosen my slipper a bit. The car goes a little bit (too) wide. Off-power steering is great. Carbon parts held up great. Release is scheduled for begin November - as it looks now, I'm going to be busy with the B-Max4 release as well :yawn:. |

Carbon parts (chassis and towers) are going to be produced asap (I've sent out the order).
Prices will be announced as soon as possible. They should be competing with other carbon parts making brands :thumbsup: |

Hi there
Someone try to make a bulldog fit to the bmax2mr? I tried the jconcepts for the rm bmax2. It looks horroble. Mike |
Prices of the B-Max2 Carbon parts are here:
http://blog.rccss.nl/2013/11/busy-wr...re-the-prices/ €40.- for the chassis €10.- for the front tower €25.- for the rear Guess that's pretty reasonable. |
And now in stock. First batch is limited, so don't sleep :thumbsup:

any idea if the front brace for the alloy chassis is available by itself? and what the part number is? |
it isn't as far as i know :thumbdown:

Hi Guys
I have a BMax-2 MR running in mid motor (8.5t) configuration and stock set up apart from adding 3000wt oil to the rear diff. The issue I have is that it is impossible to put the power down with out it the car veering to the left or the right, coming out of a slow corner and accelerating is very difficult. One of the marshals said that it was because one of the rear tyres is ballooning before the other? I have tried the rear motor configuration and it still does the same thing. The track we run on is low traction, loamy dirt. Any suggestions would be great thanks. Cheers Brett |
