Likes it:thumbsup:

This needs to go...

PS Got any glamour shots... you know, top off...

[sime46]

I'm surprised he let that slip through the net after the fun and games he had with his Cat mate. His SX was cursed. His bmax seems blessed. Went really well wed night on its debut. Got me thinking about one......:confused:

[Pedros20]

What was i thinking!:blush:
Its so bad I've even smacked my own wrists.

Phew! gone now, thanks guys, it'll never happen again. :thumbsup:

[chokoboy]

have not completed mine yet but here's some pics with blue alu screws, ryans 4mm shock towers, this shell is for rainy days as im not satisfied... So Jon Mills or Blitzboy have to paint my new shell:D

[ryan]

chokoboy-

Definetly looking good mate, but you got the ballstuds in the wrong way on the front shock tower. When you run the carbon fibre shock towers, the ball stud has to be reversed.

Take a look... :lol:

Nice body ! Is that the Azarashi woomog thingy?

[one-way]

Nice body ! Is that the Azarashi woomog thingy?

Yes, it is.

[sosidge]

How much air would you get over the motor and esc if you cut out the vents on the Azarashi shell? Standard shell is a bit poor in this regard, BRCA rules say you can only cut the marked vents.

[Tyson]

Here's some pic's of my B-Max4 and my son's. Only a few more bits for my son's and they be like twins..:)
Please no ribbing about the DIY light green body it was a bit of a disaster:(

Looks like the jconcepts ball cups u can get them in yellow, white and black but u will need a much shorter rear turnbuckle!

some nice shots there...

what springs are you running on that back of that?

[Pedros20]

We were both using Yokomo oranges on the rear, as Tom Yardy's set up.
They were awsome on saturday.

[sime46]

As Pete says, Yokomo orange rear and black on the front. They both worked really well on saturday. Awesome over the bumps and no crash landings, even off the biggest jumps. I'm really happy with mine.:D

[Sicknote]

Long live the CAT !!!!!!! :p

:DStill long live the cat after tonights racing Kris? I think not.....

If anyone is selling a b-max roller or knows someone selling one, let me know, I'm trying to get one but don't have the $$ for a new one.

[CODMAN]

Grape, you are going to have a hard time finding one, they are very rare... I've only seen a few go by and they weren't much of a bargain. Better start saving up for a new one...:o The basic car kit is relatively cheap and from what I've seen building my Factory team kit, I would have no problem whatsoever giving the all plastic kit a shot in racing the plastic parts are of outstanding quality!:woot:). I'm sure it would do fine. Then later on, you can buy the few essential upgrades like metal shocks, roll bar, etc...).

Good luck looking for a roller!:thumbsup: You never know...

Yeah, I know it's a long shot but just trying while I'm waiting on the payment for my B44. I've been looking at just getting the basic kit and adding big bore shocks because I know the alum. parts aren't necessary and I work part time at my local track, so I can get ti turnbuckles cheap. Might just put my losi shocks on it for the time being. Wish I didn't have to add another 60 bucks just for shipping on a new kit though.....

Which screws were you using on your bmax?

[fastinfastout]

If anyone is selling a b-max roller or knows someone selling one, let me know, I'm trying to get one but don't have the $$ for a new one.
Hi, I have a new 'standard' bmax kit that I used for spares, that I might sell.

I have taken a few things from the kit, but I will replace them if anyone is interested in buying.

[STP]

here is my car as raced in longfield and at the nationals in leipzig

[LhOrLoGeR]

Which screws were you using on your bmax?

It's the titanium screw set for B-Max4 (BM-ASST)

[ravens]

Not very clear on picture,those look like hex screws.
Are those BM-ASST hex?

[andys]

My standard B-Max with a few nice bits added. Shell was rushed in the freezing garage, so it's a bit of a mess :(.

First ever Yokomo i've had, very nice build, although the shell lexan was as thin as paper in places !

Many thanks to Bury Metro club, which is where I won the car in the Christmas meeting raffle :) And many thanks to CML. The front propshaft was bent in the kit, so I e-mailed CML and they promptly replied and sent me out a new one :)

Choko, make sure to do a report on how you find the Bigbores relative to the originals. I'd find it interesting since I can't compare (got the FT). I do find the shock work really well though, compared to my AE shocks...

I will try to make a report later if nobody beats me to it, my ft shocks worked well aswell so do my AE shocks.
But i think the Yokomo ones is much better build quality!!

At a breif glance your car looks really similer to an Atomic Carbon S4 :)

[Zahir144]

Mine is the standard B-MAX (Non Champions pack edition). I have fitted a rear anti-roll bar, and the rest is per kit.

I've found it easier to post consistent fast lap times with this, than with my previous B44. Nice piece of kit.

The rear end takes a bit of cutting but the front is pretty straight forward. Using it until my cab forward shell arrives.

Hello,

Here's my stealthylooking new Bmax. 5mm carbon shocktowers, Sanwa and Team Orion electronics. I painted the shell quickly for practice, and sanded it with 1200 grit. Black was just boring, so I had to try:P Thought it ended up kinda prototype cool:P

[Razer]

I also cut the spur gear cover, like the team did on their worlds cars. A lot better for adjusting the slipper!

[Naushad]

How is it better for slipper adjustment? Seems to me more dust will get in?

[Razer]

Not really a problem. All other cars are even more open around the spur.

I like adjusting the slipper to the feel of my finger, so this helps me alot. Also, it makes it easier to adjust the diffs right.

[Naushad]

Maybe I'll try this!

It's open on the kyosho fs and b44

What body is that as it looks sweet:thumbsup:

[MILKY]

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

[mes]

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!

[Naushad]

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

[mes]

Not so tidy yet! :p
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. :)

[mes]

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. :D

[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. :)

[sfry61]

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 :thumbsup:

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! :thumbsup:
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! :p

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 :woot:

[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... ;)

[branstonpickle]

Thought it was about time I added mine to the group

[ryan]

Just incase anyone is interested, i have 2 carbon fibre rear shock towers for sale in the trade section.

[mes]

Update: The B44.1 Finnisher doesn't fit in the front. I wonder what B44 body I tested... :confused:

[Craig W]

still got some bmax4 stuff left on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160818477566?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_500wt_1287

[discothesnake]

Update: The B44.1 Finnisher doesn't fit in the front. I wonder what B44 body I tested... :confused:

I think the B44 shells would be too narrow. I once fitted a Tamiya 511 shell to my bmax and the width was perfect. I now have a b44.1 finnisher shell fitted to my Tamiya 502x but it wont fit with the tamiya undertray (shell is too narrow). The only undertray that will fit is B44.1 Proline Bulldog. I know ita bit complicated but it's what is needed if you want to run that shell.

Dave

[mes]

I guess the lower edge might have been more flexible due to the steering link cut-outs...

[mes]

Toni Rheinard told me the B-Max4II body is available in his store, so my painter will have something to do very soon. :thumbsup:

Too bad the German Yokomo EU store is not up to date, I bet better (obvious) parts availability would improve sales a lot... :(

[branstonpickle]

Thought I'd up date my car now the shell and install are all done and the cars to the spec I want it shell was done by jcklifford........

[discothesnake]

Very nice. Like the colour scheme. :thumbsup:

[branstonpickle]

cheers bud gave her a good thrashing about sunday and shes fast and easy to drive.....:thumbsup:

[mes]

Yes, the B-Max4's handling is just fantastic! Everytime I wonder what 4WD I might race next year I just drive some laps with my son's (almost) standard B-Max4II and I know what to buy... :thumbsup:

What springs are you guys using on mid to high grip astroturf and on carpet? I've tried red (F)/blue (R) from the B-Max2 on my B-Max4 to some success on our low bite sand-soaked astro, which are supposed to correspond to the original greens F/R. Is there any need to use stiffer ones or do you think greens all around are just fine?

for dusty astro green green
high grip astro and carpet orange green

hope that helps

[mes]

Thanks a lot! Busty astro is on bumpy tracks, right? :p
I just checked the sping chart again. As it seems, front reds and oranges are the same, and blues correspond to greens. I should be fine with my B-Max2 spring sets.

Now its mine ! :) hahahahahaha

Its really a great car. I´m having a lot of fun driving it.

I see that you are back in family again :)

[mes]

Update on my new body: It's a new old one... Am I expecting too much when I order a B-Max4II body at the official distributor's shop and want to receive a B-Max4II body, not a B-Max4 body?! As I had it shipped directly to my painter, it is too late now to return it, of course. The fact that the paint job is not the one I had ordered is yet another story... :cry:

Edit: My son absolutely likes the new old body, so we swapped. I'll post a picture of the B-Max4 duo as soon as the body is finished!

[discothesnake]

Just finished my B-max4 II Worlds Edition.

As usual a delight to build.

Built it with Hard chassis and top deck. Some old school coloured wheels too.....

[MHeadling]

Looks superb! Masami would be proud!

You should send him a picture of it to his Facebook account

[discothesnake]

Ha Ha! Thanks Mark.

I may just do that.

Ive got two now. You on the lookout for another?

[MHeadling]

Yes send him a pic, I know Rebel rc sent him a pic of his carbon yokomo he made and masami had it as a wall pic.

Yes was sitting next to Jamie Pickles on Sunday at Maritime who has a nice B max and was tempted to try one again, iv got enough stuff really so must resist!

[till]

david, what do you mean with hard chassis and top deck ??

[discothesnake]

Yeah I chatted to him at F2's and F345's. He had his going well.

Looking forward to outdoor stuff again. Might give it a blast at Chadderton next month.

[discothesnake]

david, what do you mean with hard chassis and top deck ??

The latest version, the 'WN' comes with two chassis/top decks. One normal and one hard. The hard is designed for high grip. Carpet and astro etc.

I purchased them separately and fitted them to try.

Dave

[till]

have track tested it yet?? is there a big diffrence ??

[discothesnake]

Hi, not tested it yet. Still no electrics yet. Will let you know when I do.

How close a fit is it? My 44.1 shell is way off at the front end, too short to reach the front corners, and the rears suffer the same a bit too...

you have to choose the longer for the b44.2
