Talking B-Max2 MR Carbon parts

As most Yokomo drivers noticed in the Yokomo forums, i've made some carbon parts for the B-Max2: chassis and both front and rear tower.

This stiffens up the front and rear and, in comparison with the alu and plastic chassis, adds a bit more flex to the chassis. It's a nice tuning option.

Currently in testing phase I expect to have them final soon.

Front tower:


Rear tower:


Carbon chassis:


Related blog posts are up at http://blog.rccss.nl/2013/10/b-max2-...carbon-please/ and http://blog.rccss.nl/2013/10/well-be...pics-included/.

I will also write the updates here.

Thanks both.

I modified some parts and are going to test tonight, curious if the modification make them a little bit better.

Modifications made it a little bit better. I ran on a tight indoor track and had a little bit more flex in the chassis. Which now, in my opinion, is a great tuning option for using if you would like something that's in between the plastic and Alu chassis.

Release date, as for now, should be around mid-November. I hope earlier to be honest.

I have arranged production. First batch is pretty small, but enough for most people who already declared their interest.

Prices are available soon, also for re-sellers (e.g. shops).

Thanks

First production should be done this weekend, this means that I should have them during next week.

So, "pre"-orders are up in the weekend. Prices will be also announced then.

Currently I'm busy writing some manuals.

Prices are available at http://blog.rccss.nl/2013/11/busy-wr...re-the-prices/.

I should have them in stock tomorrow. First batch is limited (even though I get enough of them all), so first come first serve.

I'm getting positive reactions because of the quality. Thanks all.

Still plenty in stock. Shipping costs for (both) towers are only 2 euro!
