I know it's like many things in life, big cars, watches, quality shoes you can tell when you pay for a higher quality item.

I've got the gears on order along with a few other items.

Got a lot of side to side movement with the ball diff, which I'll be rechecking tonight..

My LRP shorty LIPOs are a very very tight fit too, don't just drop in. Again will check. Don't like the feel of the battery brace system too, so carbon upgrade being considered. However think I'll run the car first..

First run this weekend on the very high grip indoor track at Silverstone.

Still at this time feel the TLR22 2.0 would have been better, just hope the car proves me wrong.
Hi Mikey,

I have run a Bmax now for about 4 months. I have found the handling much better than my SV2.

The ball diff does have side to side play in it. I assume it's so a gear diff can be used if the gear diff is wider, I don't know that though. I shimmed it out.

I am also using shorties, Orion ones and they are a snug fit, doesn't seem to be an issue, maybe the LRP ones are marginally larger.

The car has good grip with the plastic brace, but I found that I would forget to turn the retainers to lock the brace down. I did fit the carbon upgrade, mainly so I had to turn the blue thumb screws down. It does make the car stiffer so better for high grip surfaces.

Keep with the car, it seems to work for me.
