Mmmm, bodyshell ain't looking good......:thumbdown:

I actually like it! Most other cab fwd bodies out there are far worse... ;)
The rattle can paint job above isn't exactly a paragon of beauty, of course.

Thanks mes
I really wanted a BIGGER Official Yokomo Photo showing it in all its glory with a super special paintjob
:D

As the kit is supposed to be released before christmas, it can't be that long until we'll get something official. :)

If you want to go the gear diff route, a few changes would be needed and you do seem to get quite a bit in the conversion kit for your money, including body.

Personally though if I was in the position of having rear and mid motor versions, I wouldn't bother with the upgrade and keep it as it is. If not just for its originality:)

Pricing for the conversion kit is ok, so I'll probably get one. Maybe I'll get a 2nd kit later on, but for the time being, the mid-motor car will suffice - that's some extra money for buying another personal transponder and other stuff! :D

Yes, for us...European countries...Approx 70 euros...
It is not expensive than C4 or other convertion kit...for those who got the Bmax2 "Classic"

Before Christmas...:(
Not sure...perhaps 27th of December

That's still before Christmas in Eastern Europe and Ethiopia! :p
Germany will probably not see the kits before late January; ok by me as I'll not be be racing again before early march anyway... ;)

Battery configuration
 

Does anyone know what battery configurations the B-Max 2 MR will take? In all the pictures I have seen the battery used is a shorty lipo. I was hoping it could take saddles as that is all I currently use.

If you look at the shorty lipo, there is a square outline around it's situation and the speedo sits forward so it is certainly designed for saddle lipos.

Looking at the MR it does seem that you could fit saddles side by side, which is good news. I can't wait to get mine and the updated big bore shocks with the bleed caps look ace!

They are ace! ;)

Want one! Great price too! Is it metric or imperial?

going by bd7 will be metric

saddle of shorty lipo

All Yokomos are metric. The MR in mid-motor configuration will most probably also accept full-size lipos in combination with a low-profile servo.
