Thanks, you got PM. :)
Good luck at the championships! |
Found this picture on the JMRCA website. The interesting part is the B-Max2MR/R label to the right. As it seems, there will be two new 2WD kits. I wonder what kind of updates the R will incorporate?

When you look at the lower part of the label, you see two of the red NEW signs, therefore I'd guess there will be two kits. Edit: I was just informed that the MR indeed is a mid and rear motor car, but it remains to be seen if both options are included in the kit. I'm looking forward to hearing more from Sylvain once he is at YTB! :thumbsup:
Merci beaucoups!! |
MR may mean mid/rear and the R may mean just rear. Quite a simplistic view, but it could be right.

Yokomo
If CML do start distributing all the latest Yokomo kits and parts again then I will have to think about getting new Yoke 2 and 4 wd kits. :lol:

Here's a proper picture, it is actually MR and RS. Maybe the RS is a low-budget version of the car similar to the cheaper std. B-Max4II (23,000 yens). It is 21,000 yens compared to 28,000 of the current car and 29,190 of the MR, which will most probably include extra gear box parts and accessories like battery mount and rear shock mounts. The chassis in the rear motor car shown here seems to be the same as the mid-motor. Take a look at the antenna mounts, the battery mount and the saddle pack chassis recesses.
Edit: Found both cars for preorder on super-rc.co.jp at very decent prices. The RS indeed seems to have plastic shocks! |
Printing of the boxes can commence! Naoto TQed and won all three A-mains in the 2012 JMRCA nationals in 2WD. In 4WD, he was beaten by Kyosho's Kota Akimoto in 4WD after problems in Leg 1, finishing 2nd in Leg 2 and winning Leg 3.

It's a good news that Yokomo offer a Mid & Rear complete kit.
As Yokomo now is offering the Bmax4 with two chassis and top decks... The Bmax2 on the photo, should be the "MR" version...the chassis is a little bite different from the "Bmax2 Rear" http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/2...omobmax2mr.jpg Wait & see :) |
B-max 2 front wheels
Do the front axles for the B-max 2 allow for any other manufacturers wheels to be fitted, eg associated or Durango etc?
|
The kit axles for metric bearings are 5 mm in diameter (Yokomo and some Tamiya wheels). With the optional Associated wheel axles (part no B2-010FI) you can also use AE or Schumacher front wheels with imperial bearings.

Thanks for the answer. I can't wait to get my B-max 2 MR. I am going to risk it. Not risk running a Yokomo as I know they are amazing cars, but risk running one in the UK with probably little or no support. I wish someone in the UK would really get behind and support Yokomo, there's every chance that I would still be running my B-max 4 if someone did.
|
Im sure there will be a few shops in the EU that will support the car. No import taxes and should be fastish shipping.
Im a little like you depending on the local support Ill look at getting one. A local shop does have the TC car and they have been selling the RM and 4wd so Im pretty sure they will get the 2MR |
EU wide support is not bad at the moment and still getting better. I've placed orders with all three teamyokomo.eu branches, all of them are reliable and pretty quick. The few parts I couldn't get from them were available with rc race and drift in Japan and not too expensive either. Thumbs up! :thumbsup:
