Ok cool so forword for hi grip and back for low grip yes ?

[raymondkerr]

is there anyway to use shorty lipos in the new Bmax4 III ?

[skyaflake]

Probably, yes, it will take a whole new chassis, the car isn't designed for it.

For anyone in need of or interested in:

PSM 4mm shock towers

[skyaflake]

They look great !

Besides... there should be some more news about the B-Max4 III soon

[muratti]

What do you mean exactly?

[nicmo]

those new carbon towers will come in handy, now the bulkheads need a look at.

I'd keep checking here, although currently it isn't uploaded for the new Bmax4 MkIII, the older ones are there.

Or contact MB Models or CML Distribution they might be able to point you in the right direction ?

naoto's set up is a very good starting point

I've just finished building my new bmax4 and I've put a low profile Savox servo in it, with the kit servo horn but I'm experiencing a problem, I can get full left hand lock, but when I go to get full right hand loc,k the plastic turnbuckle hits the servo body restricting the full lock.
Sorry if I'm being thick but this driving me mad.... Any help would be really appreciated...

Get a photograph on here showing the problem. You must have something wrong on it. Just checked mine and it's nowhere near the servo on full lock.

Hi,

I use a regular savox servo and I faced the same problem. What I did to solve it was to make the steering link longer than what they say on the manual in order for the steering to hit full right lock earlier. With some trimming adjustments on the radio you should be fine. I'm not sure if this somehow affects the handling of the car.

I don't own one of these ( although they do interest me so I'm keen to know how you get over this ) but almost all the other cars are designed like this. I have an old Schumacher SX3 and that's designed in the same way.

Can you get a longer servo horn that won't rub the body shell so it clears it easier ?

Are you sure your servo was set dead centre when you did everything up ? Is the travel the same both ways as it seems strange it's only doing it one way ?

Hope it's an easy fix !
