Well there is nothing on the Yokomo website, so I'll be keeping my drool to myself for now...

The changes as I can see:

- new pin holder clips for bones, AE like
- new shock holding "system" on the front bridge, touringcar like
- ... ?

glad to see a bit of progression
i love my yokomo ft but i would like to see more updates and general support from yokomo
and maybe a new slipper clutch upgrade
or something
carbon chassis like the ansmann x4 pro ft which almost embarreses the bmax it copies a lot of its desighn from

Does anyone know if Tom Yardy is still running Yokomo, and if he is, has he got the new B-Max FT2?

That body definately is an improvement compared to the original B-Max design but still is far away from what I would call a nice looking shell ...

This for me has been one of the main problems with the car, just hasn't got the support needed in the UK and means it's just easier to run pretty much any other current release car!

I wanna know if there will be an upgrade kit for us original FT owners. Kinda like they did with the BD5 to the BD5W. Hopefully the new car will be a little more aggressive with a bit more steering, but gotta say the safeness of the FT was a pretty nice intro to offroad for me.

I don,t know how it is with you guys, but the tracks I run on (dirt) are very bumpy. The suspension on the Bmax FT is simply awesome and gave me a huge advantage on the local competition. Sure it didn,t have the most aggressive steering... But the rest made up for it in my oppinion...

As for an upgrade, unless there are significant improvements, I doubt I'll be spending $$ for hop-ups... And certainly not for that new shell...

Cheers!

Hi All,

Yeah I am racing for Yokomo in 2011 still.

I must confess I don't know much about the revisions to the Bmax other than the shell obviously. I was told a few weeks ago that there would be some modifications to the car ahead of the Worlds but I don't know full details.

I will report more when I know...

Tom

P.S. The shell looks totally awesome!
