Yokomo Bmax2 M

[Juicy74]

What tires would you guys recommend on this car for a clay track? Was looking at schumacher tires and they look interesting but no one i know has any experience with them.

Schumacher have no clay tyres. I mostly use Pro-Line Holeshots/Wide Ribs on clay, but AKA, JConcepts and Sweep also make great tyres. Check out what the other drivers at your track put on their rides.

If it helps, I believe the base setup is for clay and yokomo use dboots tyres

Check mine from barham on 17 Feb I think it is on the mb yoko Facebook page.
That's full astro and was very good. I found the front had a little too much bite in slower twisty sections but was awesome on faster and sweeper type corners.

Ok will youse that as my bass setting then do you think my be lousing a wosher of the inside front ball stud might of helped ?

I had issues with the gear diff though. Even without oil it was way too tight, felt like 50k oil so I removed the tiny shim under the pins. Fixed the tightness but may have caused the gears to eat themselves.

I think the issue is the casing being slightly too large making the outlive tight. A better solution may have been to shave half a mm off the outside casing where it meets the outdrive

If you have problems with the parts e-mail support@teamyokomo.com

Schumacher doesn't have clay tires? Why not?

dBoots have some interesting tires but they dont' have anything under clay. But I'm guessing multibyte or nanobytes might be a good choice?

Schumacher are a British company and make tyres for the British/European market. They make tyres to run on astro and grass. There is not much clay racing over here.

JConcepts, Proline etc do not make tyres for astro so it is just catering to your audience.

any good carpet setups out there

Ahhhh.... Makes sense.

Hi, I just bought one of these and can not wait to build it. I haven't found a great deal of information or support for this buggy. Looks like only a small group of people are running it.

Do you have any tips to help me with the assembly or durability? Any help is appreciated.

As Yokomo was neglected in Europe and US the last few years it is no wonder that the cars are a relatively rare sight. I've run the original B-Max2 last season and found it to be the most durable and easy to drive car I ever had in twenty years of RC - I am getting old! .
With the recent release of the MR version, the car will become even more popular among racers and lazy guys (optional gear diff... ). It will be interesting to see what the Yokomo guys have up their sleeves for the worlds this year.

The Bmax2 MR is such a versatile car. I've tried mid motor with saddle, will also fit shorty side way, and now I converted to rear motor, and it fits a full stick even with a full sized servo. Feels really good now on outdoor clay

Can someone tell me what do the narrow suspension mounts do? The manual doesn't say anything. Sorry if its a dumb question, newbie here.

Thanks!

Narrower width up front will help if your buggy is too loose. But its not the first thing you'd want to do.

Give you a smaller front track width making the car more nimble and responsive on the front end.

I am about to try the narrow front end for the first time at the NRW-Offroad-Cup race in Dortmund on 11 April. Car turns on a dime in my living room.
