Yokomo B-Max III or Losi 22-4

[B0tt0mline]

Hi,

I am think about getting a 4WD buggy, which should only be used as "second" car. I do not want to put lots of effort in maintenance

Currently I am not sure if the Yokomo B-Max III or the Losi 22-4 is the better choice.
Which car requires less maintenance?
Which diffs are easier to access?

For which car do I find more "beginner" setups?

Thanks!

Hi. Interesting topic this, as I am too currently looking at both these buggies as an alternative to my current Durango 410 v3.

I do believe that neither of these buggies, including the Durango, are for 'beginners' though, as they seem to have multiple tuning options, which are only good if you know what you are doing!

However out of the 2 you mentioned, I would say the Yokomo would be the better entry level car, and an easier one to work on too....

based entirely on the fact that the bmax 4 III is geared diff and shaft drive i'd say its easier to maintain.
but as with everything else i'd say check what others at your local track are running no point in getting an easy to maintain car if nobody else has one and can advise on setups etc

Already considered the sworkz? Cheaper, easy to build and to drive, stronger, unique in it's design...

"unique in its design" is a polite way of saying its uglier than a pitbull chewing on a wasp ;-)

We had 3x of the 22-4's at Mendip Raceway last Sunday. Even though the drivers were not our usual top lot they're cars looked amazing, this was on bumpy astroturf. One of the best 4WD's I've seen go round our place for sure.

It's not the nicest shell, okay you got me there!, BUT
that's a personal matter of fact guys.

It's not a grey mouse(if we are gonna make comparisons with animals) like all the rest out there.

What do you say about the arguments "stronger" and "cheaper"? ... nothing I guess From the very first batch it was good. It could be raced without having fear to brake hingepins, towers, diffgears and other stuff.
