Looks super tasty that!!

How do you rate the quality of the kit compared to the xb4?, I hate to say it but looks even better!!

How do you rate the quality of the kit compared to the xb4?, I hate to say it but looks even better!!

The XB4 was excellent of course, but this feels differently good. similar if not better really. Things like sometimes on the XB4 you were having to work hard to get the screws into the plastics, wrist ache, and you could feel the heat in the screws from the friction as you screwed it into the plastic bits. None of that with the Bmax4, screws go in easily. Also i like the fact they use different grades of plastics depending on if the parts need to flex or not. Example wing mounts. The XB4 wing mounts were forever breaking. They were just brittle, in my opinion, but made out of the same grade of plastic as everything else. The bmax on the other hand they are made out of a more flexible plastic and look like they will take much more abuse, also bumper also is the same, certainly different plastic to the bulkheads and gearbox casings and arms. The Yokomo shocks are a better experience. The xb4 shocks are not bad, but i found the lack of anything to hold the shock body with a bit of a problem sometimes with things got tight, or you wanted to screw the cap on tight, to stop the leaks.
For me the only "bad" bit about the bmax4 is the availability of white wheels. there are none at the moment, so i'm stuck with yellow!

[OneKiwi]

Can't you use a hex from a TD or XB4 and use those wheels?
Thats what I did with the MR2, put on a 14mm hex and use the xray rims

yes need to try this with TD hexes. Seen it done on rear of mr2, but the front doesn't work with xray hexes. did you make up a spacer, or use lots of shims?

[neallewis]

Working on the photo build....

Complete now and been run.

It's awesome!

[sheriff]

Looks like a great bit of kit. If I bought one I'd probably never get chance to race it.

Would it be naughty to buy one then, in that case?!

Very nice. My body is in paint, have been using a borrowed one.
I need to re-wire also. Just transplanted the electrics right out my XB4. A few wires can be rerouted and shortened.

just waiting on the alloy shock tops then fill full of oil and away to go :thumbsup::thumbsup:

great build but why the mixing of allen and cross head screws!

[discothesnake]

Apart from the screws tho hold in the outer hinge pins where else were the cross head screws?

Nice Andy. Didn't realise you'd changed over to Yok.

[leeboy44]

pinion screws for the crown wheel and pinion

outer hinge pins

for the sake of those why not change them???

[discothesnake]

Oh yeah, the crown gear ones are a pain in the ass. I don't recall the ones for the wing mount tho. I'm 99% sure mine were all hex heads.

[Andyp]

Nice Andy. Didn't realise you'd changed over to Yok.

Just got it as something to build really and have a go with, I quiet like the idea of the gear diffs also.

I think in my kit I got both Allen head machine screws and cross headed self tappers for my wing mounts... I obviously used the machine screws

I suspect I scared him into getting one as I nearly beat him. He won by 0.4sec though.

[mes]

I wish I was just as convincing in the speed department, but I tend to focus on demonstrating the Yokomos' durability... :p

[wylie]

Going to give it it's first outing tomorrow.
HPI 6.5 T motor, Speed Passion GT Pro ESC & Savox 1283 servo (servo is a bit overkill but it's the only spare one I had)

Ran mine for the first time yesterday. Indoors so not ideal but was quite pleased. Felt a bit over damped all day so will need to work on that next time out.

Qualifting was tough as i was in bottom heat but ended up Q7 and finished 2nd overall with a 3 2 2 in the finals.

Overall pretty pleased so far.

[raymondkerr]

first run last night, nice change from the Durango. Went well, a few minor adjustments and it should be better.

After several electrical layouts I finally opted for this one. Motor sensor lead in post, thanks MB. So just the body to paint and wing to cut before I can try this baby out….

[minty]

Heres my new B-MAX4 III ready for it first meeting tommorow :D

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l304/minty31/IMG_6379.jpg

[rcpower]

It handles just brilliant on high grip astro :thumbsup:
Although it's the "light weight" kit it's still a rather heavy car, but on the track it doesn't feel so. In contrary, I found it very nimble. It's very stable and so easy to drive and push hard. Ran it for the first time this weekend and I immediately posted the fastest laps of the day! A broken servo ruined my chance for overall victory though. This car responds very well to setup changes, whilst a lot of cars were fighting against grip-roll, I drove her hard with new tires and minimal tire cutting.

Thank you Yokomo:D

[neallewis]

Good to hear you went well first time out RCPower. What servo did you break?

[rcpower]

It was an "old" KO servo (PS-2173), back from the days when I used to drive Nitro on-road. Whilst steering to full lock to the left, it went back to centre position(only for a fraction of a second). This happened 3 or 4 times. Needless to say I was a couple of times too wide and forced into error because of this. Still finished 5 seconds down the leader though. I could not reproduce the behaviour when the servo was out of the car. With a different servo in I didn't experience it anymore though...

[subucultcha]

Ready to rumble.....:D

[rcpower]

A Wednesday afternoon practice with my son.
He's 8 years old and it was his first time out with the yok.

[dikke hond]

Do you have the shorty chassis? I think it improved the car a lot when i compared it with the saddle chassis? The griplevel on ORRA can be extremely high!

[rcpower]

Yes, this is with the shorty(light weight conversion) chassis.
Yes, the grip level at this track is insane when it's dry!

No shell to show as it's currently away at the painter, but here is my finished install ready for it's first outing at Benfield next weekend. Put the wires over the centre as I'm not a fan of squeezing them under as it it was quite a tight fit with my sensor lead etc.

Usually from my local shop but its distributed by Horizon Hobbies, it's trickbits. The stuff I have on that car is Turnigy wire and i got it from a seller on ebay called "Zuue". I love the pink wiring to go with my shells. :thumbsup:

Is that a Sanwa ers-971 inside? My preferred servo's at the moment.

It's an ERS-962 mate, it's my first Sanwa, hoping for good things from it.

I found mine with my ProLine silencer body that it's noticeably lower and touches the edges of the fan of my esc - really didn't check the clearance before applying the velcro :yawn:

Are you using different wing mounts, how are you using nuts for them

Would guess yz2 wing mounts.

Got them on mine and pretty much the same position as the max ones..

[dikke hond]

I have 2 Penguin bodys for the Bmax4 lll. Both are way to short to fit properly... They are around 4/5mm to short. The first one is very VERY thick (which I think is great) but the second one has the same thickness as a stock Yokomo body.

[Ashlandchris]

I have lots of penguin shells for a variety of models (including bmax4iii) and I've found all to be superb. Steve has even done special shells for me when I was able to send him one I had from elsewhere that didn't fit. He altered the dimensions of a mould to make it fit just right.
Very helpful chap

[Sir Shawny500]

A little off topic!!!! But have you finished your YZ-2 Chris?? I've purchased one aswell so hope to get it run at Cullingworth next Friday.

:thumbsup: Apologies, here is my Bmax3iii to get us back on track

And in answer to the question... I've started, but not yet finished...How is that front spoiler going for you? Do you feel a lot more difference?

[Ashlandchris]

How is that front spoiler going for you? Do you feel a lot more difference?

I must admit I put it on to stop snapping things at the front as I'd used it twice and broken it twice. Since fitting I've not broken anything so that seems like a success, mind you I've been running 2wd for the past few months.
Can't comment on the handling effect as my set ups are usually rubbish

[ayske1]

As in you've broken the front tower? Im currently running the PSM 4mm tower and have had no issues... Ive done about 12-14 packs in the Yok running 6.5t on generally harsh Australian outdoor tracks..

Ive only broken a rear arm and couple of rear camber ball studs due to full throttle and doing cartwheels to the side, my bad. :thumbdown:

Nice retro feel but AE markings on a yokomo??

Then again I ordered an AE trucker hat and plan to wear it driving my yokomo lol

[HeavyD99]

That is true old school Yokomo YZ10 box art, not AE.

Traditionally, AE drivers ran Yok's before the JC/B44 buggy came about.

[Paultje040]

Tomorrow maiden voyage of my 4wd.

Just got the Phantom body by proline. Still think the Silencer J concepts body sits nicer than Phantom. Both quality lexan. I think the Silencer looks better though often people think it's a b44

Bit of advice , don't use the new shell on sat , it will get f--ked .

There are a lot of bad drivers out there who don't give a f--k .

Especially when your in the bottom heat .

It's up to you tho .

Neal, tried this week to get some green wheels, but failed miserably. Will see how I get on. Got some yellows if all else fails.

How bout, I try get some lime green spot stickers, stick 3 on the black wheel so it stands out more on rotation? Bit naff, but could work

[arceye]

Been emailing je models as they had the only green de wheels I'd seen. But shit out as he has non thatl ll fit mine. His next order is in 6 weeks. Will just have to make do for now. Suppose there's no harm askin Alex if he has owt suitable.

[ja76]

Looks great mark, have you asked lee as he had some green the other week?
He's also waiting on a new order coming with loads of de wheels

I had a word with him Sunday. the lad that bought em was pitted next to me n they looked spot on for my paint job. Lee said he could get some, but I thought I'd find some online easy, but it hasn't worked out.

Just got new bodyshell in my colours for my Bmax4iii. Nearly got rid of it as coming from 2wd to 4wd found it a bit difficult to get the hang of and it was certainly not like my optima mid from 25 yrs ago! A day out at torch made me appreciate it. Now just need to find time to race it more as well as the 2wd.

An ode to the martini lancia deltas - esp the group B S4 and a certain Mr Juha Kankkunen.

I always appreciate someone who still remembers the wonderfull group B rally cars ! These things make the current wrc cars look like boy toys. Group B was for real men :-). But : kankkunen never rode the Delta S4 (i think). The Fins that tried t tame that monster were markku alèn and Henri Toivonen (who saddly lost his live in one)
