Yokomo Bmax2 M

[Paultje040]

I like the 0° version of the hubs. However, i would prefer the plastic version of the 0° C-hub.
Haven't cracked a plastic one yet (knock on wood).

Naoto's looked like they were a factory part at the EOS. He said "coming soon".
I'm just impatient and agree about the Arrowmax parts. My Arrowmax BMAX4 steering part has loads more play/slop in it than the plastic part it replaces, plus the anodising is the wrong colour. The machining is decent quality though, but don't think the brass or heavyweight parts always improve the car.

I also prefer the yokomo part....

Neal have you notice that the Arrowmax steering plate is about a milimeter narower than the stock one?

I did compare them, but didnt measure. not surprised it's different though.

I need some aluminium C hubs. These plastic ones are always snapping.

what will 0 deg hubs give over the std +5 std hubs..??

[minty]

I think they give less caster which gives more initial steering and make it react quicker to steering inputs.

i could be wrong though

[skyaflake]

You are right I hope Yokomo will release the hubs in plastic too. Alu can be quite expensive, so less interesting for lots of people to buy.
So far I've only snapped the hubs on a indoor track (with a wood like boarding) last winter. No problems outside, so far. Even my driveshafts are lasting forever. And I run pretty fast motors because I like a overpowered car.
My rear and front arms also live forever, but i've replaced them a couple of months ago, because they had a little slop. But lots of people would still race with those arms. I use them as spare now.

Curious about the front hubs though. Once available, I'll post pictures up on bmax2.eu

And here we go:

5 degrees: http://www.arrowmax-rc.com/index.php...oducts_id=1677

0 degrees: http://www.arrowmax-rc.com/index.php...oducts_id=1678

I don't like the color and like Yokomo parts better, thus I wait for the Yokomo announcement. But for those who don't care, go Arrowmax.

skyaflake: did you try any 0 deg versions from ORB Racing..??

[skyaflake]

No I didn't. And probably will wait for something made by Yokomo.

Oh, just got confirmation from Yokomo. Alu hubs by Yokomo will not be released anytime soon (if at all). Naoto didn't find it a improvement over the current parts. As it looks for now, no new B-Max2 parts will be released in the near future.

I wonder when the YZ-2 version will be available!

[Ashlandchris]

Hmm. It's not too pretty is it? Think I'll stick with original BMax2 shell

I was not impressed at first when the RB6/TRF201XM version came out, but meanwhile I really like it. Don't ask me why, I can't put my finger on it.

I broke one too on an indoor track. I was thinking about maybe getting some longer, threaded king pins which would stop the hub from being spread open in a crash. Maybe that would stop them from breaking. At least the way mine broke looked like it was from being spread open.
