Question B max updates

Does anyone know of any updates for the b max that are in the pipeline?? stuff like ally casters blocks etc?? i know they've just released new rear hubs.

There is a bit of a lack of option parts, apart from the big bores everything else is just shinny bling

Why, is your B-max not performing up to par? Mine is arguably the best handling car at the track (I'm going to get flammed for this...). I've just got it dialed it...

A lot of the parts are weight savers, which isn't necessary... There are the new shock springs which are usefull... the different angled rear caster blocks which are usefull... Not much else new/ needed... It's fast as it is!!!

there's nothing really wrong with the car itself, i mean im consistantly in the A final with it. But im always 3rd/4th i just need a little bit more speed.
Im about half a second a lap off the two top guys.

just wondered if there were any new option parts i could try out

I know what you mean... Other than what I mentionned, as well as the other option$tuning parts already out there, it's really a question about you getting it handling as you like it... Then it's up to your diving! The best driver at our track, who luckily for me isn't always there, always produces fastest laps 0.5 to 0.8 seconds faster than me. Plus, he is much more consistent than me. He's just a much better driver! Lucky for me he doesn't have a B-max...

If that's all your looking for is .5sec then its more or less the driving. There's no option that will drastically increase speed. They all change the setup (which you can do yourself) try out a few different things next time you have the car out.

Drivers need to understand, money doesn't make speed, practice and setup do.

ive just got hold of the big bore spring set, im gonna try and experiment a little with them
Hopefully it will make the car easier to drive quick. At the mo i have to really be very gentle with how i apply trottle and steering. It's made me a much smoooother driver
