Any emerging consensus yet re LiPo orientation, or is it too early?
I'm seeing quite a lot of early-builds like the one above with a lateral (across the car) LiPo layout and not so many with a longitudinal layout, which brings the battery wires perilously close to the spur. I would have thought that a longitundinal layout would be preferable because it keeps the weight more aligned with the central axis of the car, despite the LiPo not being purely centrally located. |

I've gone for having the lipo across the car at first, as I think it's possibly better for bumpy tracks, but my wires are long enough to go lengthways.
To try and stop it being a "wire muncher" as a mate called it, I knocked up something with an old Hotshot ariel mount & a bit of ariel tube to keep the wires away from the spur. |
I started with the baterry across, to test different battery location, forword and back.
|
good idea, I think I will screw a body post or something on that same screw hole to guide the wires around.

@Paultje040: is that servo mount coming from the Bmax4? Or is it a special YZ-4 mount? My first thought was the Bmax mount was not a fit, but I must admit I did not look deeply into it.

Crikey - everywhere you look on the car is an accident waiting to happen - belts and spur and associated pulleys all totally exposed and wires running close everywhere....
Build one of these and wire it badly at your peril! |

Yes, its a B-Max4-III servo mount. I took off the little pin. fits just fine. (The YZ mount has 2 "feet". have a look at the manual, it shows a chassis with the bmax4 style mount. 2 screwholes and a pin-hole. The changed the chassis after testing with the bmax mount.) Looking at the picture of the chassis on MIBO, it has the same holes. |

The speedo fan is a little close to a belt where i've mounted it, but its doesn't touch, and the gel tape will hold it securely. I think you are just trying to put yourself of getting one to add to your collection ;-) |
Will it offer enough strength without the pin hole?
In fact when I am typing this I think I will just drill a small extra hole in my chassis in stead of cutting it of :thumbsup: Quote:

Yes. Fit is good. So if you have a B-Max4 III mount lying around and don't want to spend a truckload of money on a new mount - go for it. It's easy to do.

Can someone see if the yz-4 body fits the bmax 4/3. I'd assume not as the yz-4 looks wider. I like the LMP style top section of the body.

Neal.
After seeing the YZ4 - I think I may have a couple of those chunky belts from an old washing machine - so may just make my own :) I'll reserve judgment on the car properly until I see yours / how they go - but currently i'm not tempted :) |
