I'm not sure about dumping Yokomo as such, but they aren't really supporting them much. As I understand there are no plans to import the Bmax II, they stop stocking the Yokomo onroad cars (other than the drifters) a while back, and all their drivers run Associated now.
So far spares aren't that hard to source, but less and less places have them as CML really aren't pushing the car.

I can't figure out why this ain't more popular. If you run the B4 in 2wd, then the B44 with it's imperial screws is a great match, but if you run a 22 or so, this would be a great metric match that works great!

Lot's of my 22 mates run Durangos, but they're quitting one by one due to terrible fit, finish and quality.

The Yokomo works great, is metric, not very expensive, and parts are available many places. I'm biased though, made the switch from a B44.1 and one the National Championship

So happy to have metric screws on both cars. Was 52nd at the worlds with a shabby B44.1 that was edgy, this car feels safer and easier to drive by far, and did I mention metric?

Have to say I had a look at the cml site, saw the new Bmax 4 think it was, then saw the price..... F#*K me!nearly fell of my seat! rallyx cars are cheeper.

Feel bit sorry for cml, the prices of some of the stuff they import are heading for th stars, look at proline at the min

Yer, had to go down that route before when I ran a worlds edition few years ago. But I would rather try and support uk shops etc......untill I just have no choice.

I had a Bmax a couple of years back, and absolutely loved it (great car - really regret selling it).

I'm really tempted by some of the ones which are currently for sale, but am put off slightly by the lack of support that this car is receiving.
