Yes, but they haven't released it have they? Where are the Bmax II's? When will they get here? They are out in the far east, but even then its kits only, so no chance of upgrading your current FT.

The shops Johnny is referring to are both Yokomo stockists, and 1 of them (JE Spares) is also one of the larger stores, but they can't get certain spares. Spur gears seem to be in short supply - there are a few 81's still around but nobody has 84's or 87's.

However, my concern isn't that. I see it more that the importer (CML) has a bit of a conflict of interest. They are also Associated's importer too. Back in the old days, Craig Drescher and the CML team would run RC10's in 2wd and Dogfighters in 4wd, but these days with the B44.1 CML mostly run Associated for both. Makes sense as its the bigger company etc.
But it also means that very few people race the Bmax at the top level - Tom Yardy is pretty much it. And that lack of presence there has filtered down the line - racers don't ask, shops don't stock etc.
