New B-MAX 4 III

http://www.rcdevil.gr/2013/08/30/yokomo-bmax-4iii/

Link is in Greek. I was informed today by our local distributor.
Looks fine! No upper deck and i wonder what material the chassis is. Also has easier sway bar stays and a nice floating servo mount!

US Yokomo distributors A Main Hobbies just released first images on the upcoming B-Max4 III 4WD buggy. The updated kit will feature a topdeck-less aluminium chassis instead of a plastic tub chassis as used on the previous model. The drive train and slipper are also redesigned, the servo mount appears to be of a floating design as seen on electric touring cars these days and the kit will include carbon fibre shock towers, 12mm wheel hex adapters and a reduced amount of fasteners to make for a reduced all-up weight. More details will be released soon.

Very nice. I reckon £450 easy!

I reckon around £300, it doesn't have many blingy bits. If it is I'm getting one.

No chance! 😀

It'd be great if it was that, but I can't see it.

Yokomo's B-Max4 first releases traditionally are not the full bling Version. Expect to see the Factory Team version in 2014. ;)

Looks ace.

That's why I didn't buy the discounted World Spec kit in spring... ;)

Agree.
The camber link are in Titanium on Naoto's car and the "bellcrank link" is in carbon instead of plastic on the commercial photos.

Naoto is always going to have different parts on his car. Turnbuckles, steering linkage, shock caps etc. until the car is released is hard to say way spec the car will be.

Also, I fancy Hara to be back at Yokomo too.

Man...that's a quick update on the Bmax..wonder if they'll come up with a conversion kit? Can't justify forking out for big prices.

Interesting car, looks pretty solid. Still happy with the B-Max4 II though.

I don't think there would be much left from the original car after the conversion. ;)
