I really liked my bmax but lack of backup setups etc made me buy something else.

Which is a shame as its a very good car

Naushad I'm sure Race and Drift in Japan do it. They are best for Yok stuff.

I think the Bmax is the best handling 4wd off road. I've had a great experience with it.

Yes...it's no Ferarri like the Durango, but it works well! Additionally it's really durable too.

I figure that I ain't a team driver but at the most an average Joe club racer. I've amassed loads of spares so I have no hesitation driving it! No one is effectively supporting Yokomo off road in the UK...I guess most stores will sell their stock and not back order.

Lots of people are leaving it...but like all good off roaders i predict there will be a resurgence - at least in the UK I hope!

Anyhow, enough ranting..I'm still looking for a Worlds kit. Dave - I've heard about Race and Drift but I'm a bit unsure about their service as I've heard not so good things. I'll need some reassurance first.

I've tried to email Asia Racing Team in France and Eseller in Switzerland...no reply as yet.

I guess there is Rc Champ aswell...but rather have a store closer to home

Hi Naushad. I have ordered quite a but from race and drift and had no issues. However I must advise about eseller as I have not heard such good things,items taking quite a while to arrive and as you have seen poor communications. I have not personally ordered from him but a heads up for you. There is a thread on here about it somewhere.

Good luck with the yok as it was one of the best I have ever driven.

I think it was myself who started the thread about eSeller. I bought stuff from him and the comms were really poor. Then he came on here shouting and bawling at me for bad mouthing him. All I had done was ask if anyone had dealt with him. Don't really think I'd use him again.

As for race and drift, their service is great. Only problem is you'll get hammered for import tax.

Dave

Tim at Race and Drift gives great fast service. Neushad, if they don't have it in stock, they can get it very fast as they are near Yokomo headquarters. Contact Tim by e.mail and ask him if he has it/ can get it, and how fast. he got parts for me from Yokomo within a few days and shipped them out...

The BMax might not be as bling or as nervous as some other cars... But that it's strong point! It's suspension is superb (best I've driven) and predictable... And durability... Well enough said...

It did cross my mind

I love building...and to have a new kit with a fresh build is a unique experience in itself!

Thing is I don't think the wife quite sees it that way..

Thanks for the link, but I don't hold much hope here...the kit is out of stock and lots of their items likewise.

Hmmm.

Yep...I suffer from the same ailment Dave!

Need to stop watching those Bmax RC vids on youtube...

Remind myself it's also the driver not only the car that makes it look good!

I did try Petit RC they have a grass setup for the B-MAX 4 but not the world Spec.
I'm running it for the shock and some of the drive train. The car is easy and fast.

I'll keep trying things.
