Yokomo 2WD

[mes]

The small (optional Yokomo) hex in the front is ok for me - as long as it isn't a pin and wheels are easy to get!

OK, but the question will be : Does it fit perfectly without changing the car wide ?
PS : sorry for the out of subject

Looks great!

How do you like the car?

Thanks! I can only comment on the build so far, as I'm still waiting for some AE wheel axles and my new radio. Part quality (aside from some of the screws) is top notch. Chassis material seems to be super tough, so pre-tapping is highly recommended. Oh, and I really love the shocks!

[discothesnake]

Are the shocks the same as the bmax4? I love yokomo cars but parts etc are just too much of a hassle to get over here.

If a retailer over here brought the stuff over I would probably go back to Yokomo.

Enjoy the car!

They are an improved version of the B-Max4II Worlds Spec shocks. The lower end does away with C-clips, the cartridge is kept under an extra bottom mounted lid.

Managed to drive one battery yesterday. After moving the shorty LiPo almost completely to the rear, the car was absolutely planted.
We've got a mid to low-grip, slightly bumpy astroturf track that had experienced spells of rain and even hail in the course of the day - the joys of April! By the time I arrived in Troisdorf, the track was dry again. I ran kit set-up with yellow Schumacher minipins in the rear and staggers in the front. The 17.5 turn motor wasn't a big challenge for the car, but I've got to get used to small tyres again. Shocks are just plainly brilliant, the car was so smooth on the bumpy straight...
I've got a 13.5 motor coming, and I'm looking forward to giving the car a good try in the stock class at the regional in early May. There'll be probably some 17.5 turn fun racing in Helmond/NL next week, too.

hi guys,

any one of you try B4.1 geardiff in this car yet???

Geardiff

Seems to be too wide for the current gearbox.

[fastinfastout]

rb5 diff?

[kschu]

doesnt B4.1 2wd ball diff same with bmax2 ball diff ?

[kschu]

what other bodyshell that can fit into bmax2 beside the one that come with the kit?

[mes]

At the moment, the kit body is the only one that I know of. I wouldn't be surprised if an Azarashi body was released before long, however.

Cover
anyone using this in their buggy yet???

The place i race too muddy. my shock shaft scratch till the titanium coated gone..

[mes]

No, haven't seen those in use. I've seen some decent drivers using slim balloons to cover their springs on a dirt track, and it turned out to work quite well.

[kschu]

any pic of the mention baloon.?

[mes]

Something like that! Oh, and of course there are shock socks... You should find those easily on eBay or google.

After my first race and two more days of practice, I'm very, very impressed. I managed to win a heat in a race for the first time ever while running just the second battery on the track in Helmond!
My driving and set-up skills let the B-Max2 down a bit (adding a spacer instead of removing one made the car flip over when pushing too hard, tightened the diff but forgot to loosen the slipper, which made me jump too far, too little throttle after backing off the slipper made jump too short...).
In the end of the day, the car was very well to drive.
Today, I switched to the 13.5 turn motor, fiddled a little around with the setup on my slippery home track, and it was even easier to drive than with the 17.5 before. I think I'll need more power before long!
