What 2wd car c4.2 or yokomo bmax-2
As above looking to replace my c4.1. Which means the c4,2 upgrade plus replacing all the worn parts from the old car and up dating to the big bore shocks.
Or go for the yokomo bmax 2. Have seen the go round car looks very good Any help would be good |

I've had both cars...and loved them both!
Of the 2...The Centro was probably a tiny bit quicker out of the box...bit more lively and nimble, but certain parts wear quite quickly and I could never keep the chassis straight for very long so moved to the Yoke...and haven't looked back! The quality of plastics and build on the Yoke is fantastic, and the metal chassis has added some of that Centro agility too. New Centro looks to have addressed the main wear problem parts though...the rear hinge pin braces.

I went from a c4.1 to a yok, and the quality difference is night and day. The yok works fantastically out of the box, all I added was some harder front springs and ae sized front axles so I could use my stock of wheels and tyres. Sure I've added some bling bits now, but not needed from day one to perform. The yok has been the most durable car I've owned, the only breakage I've had was a rear upper link plastic ball end pulling off the turnbukle, and a loose servosaver.
If you race on high grip tracks, then sure the new Ali chassis version is the one to get. If however you are going into the winter indoor season on low traction tracks, then the plastic chassis generates unreal amounts of grip. I prefer a ball diff too. The offer on at mb models right now of the v1 kit plus Ali chassis is ace. Just add in the Ali idler gears. Some people have had problems with stripping the plastic ones, mine were fine, just replaced them last week with Ali, but they were still perfectly serviceable. For me it's a no brainer, the yok is everything you could hope the centro could be, but even better.
