SHOW US YOUR B-MAX4

[ryan]

Just incase anyone is interested, i have 2 carbon fibre rear shock towers for sale in the trade section.

Update: The B44.1 Finnisher doesn't fit in the front. I wonder what B44 body I tested...

[Craig W]

I think the B44 shells would be too narrow. I once fitted a Tamiya 511 shell to my bmax and the width was perfect. I now have a b44.1 finnisher shell fitted to my Tamiya 502x but it wont fit with the tamiya undertray (shell is too narrow). The only undertray that will fit is B44.1 Proline Bulldog. I know ita bit complicated but it's what is needed if you want to run that shell.

I guess the lower edge might have been more flexible due to the steering link cut-outs...

Toni Rheinard told me the B-Max4II body is available in his store, so my painter will have something to do very soon.

Too bad the German Yokomo EU store is not up to date, I bet better (obvious) parts availability would improve sales a lot...

Thought I'd up date my car now the shell and install are all done and the cars to the spec I want it shell was done by jcklifford........

[discothesnake]

Very nice. Like the colour scheme.

[branstonpickle]

cheers bud gave her a good thrashing about sunday and shes fast and easy to drive.....

[mes]

Yes, the B-Max4's handling is just fantastic! Everytime I wonder what 4WD I might race next year I just drive some laps with my son's (almost) standard B-Max4II and I know what to buy...

[discothesnake]

Bought this a while back and rebuilt with about 70% new parts. This is my 4th B-max4. Cant keep away......
Has Version II chassis, bleed caps, motor mount and shell. Worlds conversion kit is coming too.

What springs are you guys using on mid to high grip astroturf and on carpet? I've tried red (F)/blue (R) from the B-Max2 on my B-Max4 to some success on our low bite sand-soaked astro, which are supposed to correspond to the original greens F/R. Is there any need to use stiffer ones or do you think greens all around are just fine?

for dusty astro green green
high grip astro and carpet orange green

hope that helps

[mes]

Thanks a lot! Busty astro is on bumpy tracks, right?
I just checked the sping chart again. As it seems, front reds and oranges are the same, and blues correspond to greens. I should be fine with my B-Max2 spring sets.

Welcome back son
