It the body for the b-max4-2 ie the latest b-max.

Here's a pic of my son's new standard B-Max4II. For the time being, it is equipped with a Speed Passion Cirtix Stock Club Race/ 17.5R combo, gearing 78/28. We really hope for good weather on Saturday!

I like it mes...looks tidy! What's the inside like?

[mes]

Not so tidy yet!
I've got a shorter sensor wire coming together with my son's new radio (MX-V, scheduled for next week). ESC Rx-cable will be shortened as soon as the contact pins arrive that I intend to solder onto the Cirtix next to the fan connections. Battery cable will be replaced by one without balancer cable as soon as, well, the cable and slotted connectors arrive.
The battery mounts are from the Ansmann X4. You only need to widen one of the holes a bit.

[Naushad]

To be honest your setup looks good!

If you going to place a transponder it could go on top of the servo.

I would really recommend a rear anti roll bar...just makes handling much easier in my experience

[mes]

Thanks! I'll probably include the anti roll bar set in my next order.

First run today was pretty good. Kit setup wasn't too bad, and my son soon became more confident with each lap. For him, practice ended when he crashed into a sand-filled plastic tube at the end of the straight after track layout had been altered a bit and the right front arm and steel steering turnbuckle broke. I ordered some spares, titanium turnbuckles and the sway bar kit. We'll be better prepared when we (literally) hit the track next time.

[mes]

That's more like it! Replaced the (broken) steering link with titanium rods and shortened the wires Connections on the Cirtix now accept ordinary servo plugs to adjust wire length to other cars - I wished that something like that would be possible with servo wires, too!
Shocks are also new (used) ones from a roller I bought dirt cheap on the rcweb forum. As I'll probably not enter 4WD until early next year, I gave them to my son - letting them in the box for so long would be a total waste.
Oh, and there's a new Speed Passion heat sink on the motor! Cooling fan will be added as soon it arrives.

Thought i'd show mine off.
It's pretty much how i want it, besides a set of rear ally hubs just for the blue shiny factor

Just got the new shell done.

Sorry for the the poor picture quality, i'm not very skilled with a camera.

[Naushad]

Ow! my eyes!!

You should be a cleaner....you can start with my cars if you like!

Joking...looks amazing! Well done I say!

[discothesnake]

Looks great! So jealous!

I need another Bmax in my life.....

[fastinfastout]

I'd take the heatshrink off the posts, as the post act as heatsinks and your taking away that affect by covering them up.

[mes]

Nice one!
I have a Finnisher body on the way for my bargain roller and hope to post some pictures soon. Of course, I would have preferred the brillant original B-Max4II body but as it is not locally available, it would have been over 40 euros including shipping, compared to approx. 17 for the JC body... As soon as the next 4WD Yoke buggy is released, I'll have an original body anyway!

Hi, which Finnisher have you ordered? If its the B44.1 I don't think it's wide enough for the B-max. The B44.1, 502x etc are a lot narrower than the Yok. Another option is the original 511/502 shell with a bit of trimming.

Regards

Dave

I had to order the Worlds spec shell from Japan, which meant paying a lot for delivery. Absolutely no one stocked it in the UK.

I don't mind though, it turned out great

[mes]

Last time at the track I tried a B44 body on my son's Max and it was a perfect fit. I'll keep you informed about the Finnisher!
The original body is really great, but I did not want to pay more for the painted body than for the entire car...

Thought it was about time I added mine to the group
