The original B-Max 4 (I/II) had a lot of plastic indeed. I think people want the same "look and feeling" as they got with the YZ2 (even though Yokomo admits the YZ2 was specced out too much, e.g.: too much bling
): that's Alu and carbon. Not plastic. It's a bit about the feeling you get, for sure the YZ-4 will be a good car, even with the plastics, but people want a certain feeling and that's not what you get when you have a all plastic car in your hands. I can understand the disappointment by some people. Wouldn't surprise me if Yokomo does change the kit a bit. They know about the disappointment.
