It was just a couple of things. If you check the Worlds report on her then you will see them on day 5 i think?

Shock caps with bleed screws, looking forward to getting these!



Spur cover that doesn't cover, I made one that nearly looks the same. Makes for a lot easier slipper adjustment!



Mine, cut with a saw, and made nice with 1200 grit and water:



New camberlink mounts. More adjustability, but probably mostly bling. Might make the shock tower a bit stronger, not having a link pushing and pulling all the time:



New alloy center shafts with plastic sliders:




All I want are the shock caps! Link mounts will be nice, but I don't really need them...

My favorite new parts are the new slipper, the alloy center axles with blades, and the camberlink mounts.

The blades will help to reduce wear on the rear outdrive of the slipper, which is maybe the biggest part of the car which wears.

The slipper is no more a doubleslipper, which means for me split slipperaction for the rear and the front (? I'm not sure about that). Should give more traction IMO.

Camberlink mounts, will make the most change IMO, I can lower the front rollcenter!! --> =STEERING, whoop!

The shock caps with bleeding screws will be the same like in the new coming 2wd. Maybe a bit easier to make, but I got no problem so far...

Can you upgrade a BMax4-FT (I) to a BMax4-Worlds Spec (II) by using the upgrade kit that I have a link to below.

If so I may get one from Japan. RRP looks cheap in Yen

Sort of.

The Bmax II has a different (better) motor mount and revised C-clip driveshafts, plus the lipo chassis. None of these are in the Worlds kit.
Personally I've got the motor mount, but thats all I'll be bothering with. The new chassis is functionally the same, it just has a cutout under the motor but none under the cells. The shafts are worth having only if you tend to lose pins.
