I will be running mine for the first time on friday so will know what it goes like. I am running saddles in the mid motor configuration, layout is designed for it. Car built really well and others have given it some positive reviews.
My own personal reason for choosing this over other 2wd cars on the market is the trend currently of metal chassis, it reminds me too much of the mardave cobra!!!!!

I am not very good at spraying shells (even after over 15 years of practice!!!) and have no art abilities at all, but I am happy how the shell came out although not what I was trying to do :woot:.

I have - the front wheels are a straight fit. The rear wheels though are obviously a hex fitment. I tries some Tresrey 14mm hexes on, and it's not a fit - big space between the hex and the hub, and even if you filled that with something, you've possible got a different track width.

I use the PL 12mm wheel hexes with B-Max4 wheel spacers underneath. Offset with Kyosho/AE-Style hex wheels is identical to the Yokomo standard pin configuration. Maybe you could try some of the Xray 14mm hexes, which are available in various widths.

So DEX210 front wheel are not hex and uses bearings with a screw like Yokomo? I'm completely out of front wheels :cry:

Unfortunately not at the moment, as it is already in mid-motor config for the indoor season. There's a little air between the shell and the chassis in the front, but not an excessive amount. I think it helps that I only use velcro and not the rear body post.

The AE one fits perfect: http://www.rccarshop.co.uk/index.php/spares/team-associated/b4-1/b4-rear-anti-roll-bar-3-bars.html
Never had the need to use it though.

Yes direct fit as Neil says and indoors it stops the rear collapsing. Ran the car last year with and without it and just kept the car more stable through fast sweepers.

Yep the X6bc is on the shelf ;)

This rear ARB I made myself using the AE hardware I had left from the X6 and used 1.2 springsteel. This you can get at most local hobbyshops.

Wanted to try one since on the X6 I never took the ARB off. Asto, dirt or clay didn't matter, it was just on there

But I will give the B-max4 kit a look, Thanks :thumbsup:

You held it upside down when taking the sort, and the rotation value in the EXIF metadata has been stripped out either by the ipad/ipad software itself, or by the web site/service you have used to host it.

Sorry :-)
When you take a digital picture, the camera writes the orientation of the device into the photo file. This orientation value is read by software or web browsers to correctly display the image the right way up.
The ipad or software you have used on the ipad, or the website you have used to upload the file to, has stripped out this info, so the photo is shown in the orientation that you held the ipad when you took it, which was upside down ;-)

Then I got to looking at an old rc10 and comparing lines. We to work with a pair of lexan scissors and the result is what you see here.

Has anyone had trouble with fitment of the JCO Finnisher body? Mine seems to flair the body a bit where it mounts to the side. In comparison, my B4.2 Finnisher fits like a glove....

Parts are no problem. You can also use arms from the Bmax4 etc. Plus the car is bulletproof!
Car is easy to setup because it's more forgiving then a yz2 imo. I still think the yz2 will be faster on high grip but the Bmax2 is the best allround car.
