On display at Shizuoka at the moment.

[sosidge]

Interesting.

Also interesting to see that Seven next to it... will have to have a good look at the Shizuoka pics...

[nobby]

looks like a b4 rear end and a xxx front end.
oh hang on thats been done before it's called a madrat:woot:

[t8rtot]

looks more like an RB5 to me. nice to see Yok. branch off. maybe that'll mean more support because ppl will want this

[budgio]

Have Yokomo done 2wd buggies before?
That "don't touch" sticker is ace. I want one

[Twister]

No this is their first twowheeler to my knowledge and it probably wont be revolutionary as losis 22 or durango 210 but Yokomo 2wd is a must have! :)

[Chequered Flag Racing]

Wonder if it'll be able to convert to Mid motor?

[Chequered Flag Racing]

Interesting.

OK hawk-eye

The eagle-eyed of you may also have spotted the Caterham-style car on the right which could be a hint for further GT500-chassis bodyshells ...

[Rebelrc]

I think that's a no to mid
Looking at it it can't be done
Looks very rb5 / b4
Nice one yokomo

[t8rtot]

any more news on this??

[93works]

yokomo rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hope it's a real rig and a half:thumbsup:

[jimmy]

I think it'll be announced in the next month or so.

[CODMAN]

I hope this is true. Also that it's more than a remodeled B4 or BR5, so it is worth the expense...[

[hardrider]

Very interesting indeed... now when can I get one? hehe

[CODMAN]

Should be nice... I'm just affraid it won't be particularly innovative (can't really tell yet by the limited info) compared to the other new 2wd buggies. I mean, I need a real excuse to sell my B4 and buy one of these... I hope Yokomo will deliver it! :D

[t8rtot]

there isn't much in innovation left in 2wd.. even the durango hasn't really raised the bar, they've just made it more ajustable and made it easier to do so.

nice to see yokomo quality in 2wd though.

[discothesnake]

I can't wait to see this car. All Yokomo's stuff us great and this will be no different. All you need a 2wd to do is work and I'm pretty sure this will.

[adey]

i just bought a durango but i have to say that i do like the look of this yokomo. Looks very much bmax 4wd to me as regards to the plastic look but didnt that make it flex and great to drive ?. Release date and price required so i can explain to my other half why i need yet another car.

[racingdwarf]

Looks nice, but I bet the price will be the killer with how things are going in world finance at the min, and will it get good back up in the uk Bmax4??

[discothesnake]

That is the problem with yokomo at the moment is the lack of backup in this country. I love my B-max4 II and every now and then you have to bite the bullet and put in an order to Japan for parts. I will probably do the sams for the 2wd when it comes out.

I will definitely be getting one. :thumbsup:

[CODMAN]

Guys, here in Canada we are used to no "backup" for cars. Rare are hobby shops that carry parts for the cars, and then it's only a small selection of AE or Losi parts. So ordering online for parts is a fact of life. Luckily, with places like Race and drift Japan, order times are very low ( I get my stuff within a week! That's fater than my hobby shop gets AE parts). The real inconvenience is shipping costs, forcing you to plan ahead and group needed parts in a single order as much as possible.
I don't know about you, but my Yokomo is incredibly tough! It very seldom breaks, reducing my need to order spares...

Cheers!

Cool! It seams to handle well (no big surprise) and is obviously in the hands of a great racer (no surprise here either)...

Can't wait to get some feedback on these from actual everyday racers and see how they like it!

That's great, nice pictures, it's going to cost ¥29,400 but as my Japanese isn't up to scratch I couldn't read much else of it.

Is it going to be imported into the UK ? Hope so ! Would be nice to have Yokomo supported over here again !

[Tom3012]

just as everyone copied the BJ4 worlds edition...:lol:

[Panic]

Any idea where we can preorder the bmax2?

[Woulves Baine]

Someone figure out how to contact Yokomo . . .and I will discuss opening US distribution with them. Otherwise that is yet another car that should be in the US market that won't be.

[mes]

You could try this E-mail address:
[email protected]

However, I don't know how fluent the Yokomo guys are in English...
Maybe you could also ask CML Distributions (UK distributor) to establish contact.

[Woulves Baine]

I contacted CML, requesting assistance with contacting Yokomo. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for the tip.

Any idea where we can preorder the bmax2?

Team Yokomo Malaysia has announced the pre-order process to be started today. It is scheduled to be available end of January. Please contact us for further details. Thanks.

More on the B-MAX2

http://www.teamyokomo.com/jpn/product/offroad/b_max2/b_max2.html

Well designed car... for dirt tracks in Japan...

All Yokomo need to do for my business is offer a mid-motor version with stiffer spring rates and full UK parts support. Is that too much to ask?

[mes]

I really like the car, nice details! :thumbsup:
As I am too lazy to switch between mid and rear motor anyway, I'm sure I would be fine with the Yoke...

[budgio]

The more i look at it the more i,m liking it.
One for my collection i think :)

[mes]

If the parts list (http://www.teamyokomo.com/jpn/partslist/chassis/bmax2.html) is correct, the B-Max2 is equipped with M2,6 screws... :thumbdown:
What is wrong with traditional M3 hardware?!

when a worlds is won buy a mid car, then i would re-ask that question. until then, you have to make what's going to give your drivers the gold.

[Woulves Baine]

Well,

I have had a couple of email exchanges with Yokomo to determine if they are seriously interested in distributing in the US. We'll see. I have quite a bit of marketing experience available to me - so hopefully they'll bite.

According to the updated parts list, there are some M2.6 screws among the M3 hardware. Ok, I guess there are some odd screws on every kit. ;)

[Fatal1ty]

Bmax2 shipped today! Kits should arrive end of this week, or next week! Watch out here, for the pics! :thumbsup:

[CODMAN]

I'd love to get one, but the price is way out of my league. Especially for a 2wd that isn't very different than my B4...
Sorry, I'm out... :(

[mes]

Do you have a price already apart from the Japanese RRP? The only European dealer I have found by now offers the kit for approx. 265 euros. That's around 30 to 50 euros more than a DEX210 or TLR22, but parts don't seem to be more expensive than those of other manufacturers. Titanium turnbuckles seem to be included, and as it is a Yokomo, the diff will be OK right out of the box.
I guess I'll wait for the online store of new German Yokomo distributor and take a look. There are so many nice kits on the market today, I'm sure I'll find something. After almost twenty years since my last 2WD buggy (Cougar 2) and three years of SCTs, it's about time! :thumbsup:

If you are happy with your B4, stick with it. I'm not a big fan of Associated any more after struggling with all those design flaws of my early SC10, but I still have to credit them for their great lifecycle support for the ancient B/T4 series. If their new worlds car had been metric, I might have been interested. :)

[CODMAN]

Race and drift japan have them on pre-order...
Not particularly happy with my B4. But it's paid for... And likely will be as fast or close enough. I don,t get to race enough for it to be worth buying the Yok...

If you don't get to race that much it's particularly important to have a car on your shelf that you like. Everytime you see it, you will think "Man, I'd love to race right now!" instead of "I could go to the track right now, but I don't wanna spend my time with this pile of %#*!" :p

I was thinking about getting a cheap buggy like an Ansmann MadRat/Monkey or LRP Twister for the same reason (time), but if you know the feel and look of a quality kit, these cars just won't do.

Damn, wouldn't that B-Max2 look lovely on my bookshelf?! :thumbsup:

Manual online!

http://www.teamyokomo.com/jpn/download/manual/b_max2_manual.pdf

Nice little feature with the additional 5-15grams spots front/rear. I'm looking forward for some nice bling from rudebits, cream rc, or maybe a midconversion vega style?! :drool: hehe.

... but first the kits must arrive, and we're still waiting. I hate it... hehe

[mes]

I hope the Proline B4.1 hex adapters will fit. The axle looks like it is machined to 3/16". Bearings in the front wheels are ok (AE conversion axles are available), but I just don't like the drive pins in the rear - too many wheels destroyed on my SC10 in the past...

[Fatal1ty]

The drive pins are in my opinion much saver that the hex'es in asso style. I never destroyed a yokomo rim over the last 3 years with lot racing, testing and training. I'm driving with drive pins front and rear.
By the way are the yokomo rims to be honest, one of the best rims on the martket. Very durable, and very strong! Some of my training rims were over 5 times in aceton, without getting harder or getting destroyed!

[mes]

In my experience, it is easier to mount a hex wheel correctly. You are probably right about the better quality of Yokomo wheels, though. ;)

Is there any reason the B-Max2 springs have other colour codes than the B-Max4 versions? Additional springs to choose from? I wonder what springs to get for comparably low bite and high bite Astroturf tracks. The kit springs will probably be the right coice for dirt tracks.

[Fatal1ty]

;)

Yes, they are new springs with new rates. I dont know the exact rates at the moment.
There are also new tapered pistons, avaible in 1, 2 and 3. Will be also something for the Bmax4.

[trekkerkk]

just to say ive been using losi and associated wheels that are at least 7 years old and theyve gone through acetone quite a few more than 5 times and theres no difference in the flex compared to new wheels,just a thought:thumbsup:

I never had any problems with Kyosho and Hot Bodies wheels either. Tamiya TC wheels on the other hand... :thumbdown:

The Losi Aluminum hexes fit perfectly on the Bmax4, so they should be a perfect fit here as well? A wide 12mm hex is one of the most solid solutions out there, and I love having the same rims for all my cars:-)

[mes]

Got mine sitting on the bookshelf! :thumbsup:
I pretapped all M3 threads in the plastic, (highly recommended at least on the chassis parts - this kit seems to be as tough as a tank!) and the built was a breeze. In particular the shocks are a dream, even better than on my previous ZX-5SP. Just hope Sanwa hurries up and brings the MX-V across the pond asap...

I wanna race! :drool:

p.s.: Wheel hexes: I've got the PL adapters for the B4. Perfect fit, but you've got to add some shims or spacers between the pin and the bearing. I ordered the blue Kyosho spacers LA-253. 3/16" will only fit directly after the pin, some 5 mm shims are needed after the bearing. I had to snap open some 3/16" shims for the time being.

Edit: German language built report (http://www.nrw-offroad-cup.de/nrw-offroad-cup-der-weg-zum-rennen/186) online! Maybe the Google translator helps and the result isn't too funny...

[adey]

is the car available and where do I get one cause I can't seem to find details

[mes]

Yes, the kit is available! Got mine from Team Yokomo Europe (http://www.fast-webshop.com/yokomo-b2c-tonisport). Not many parts are available yet in their online store, but in the mean time there is still Race and Drift Japan (http://www.rc-race-and-drift-japan.com/)... :thumbsup:

[mes]

The Losi Aluminum hexes fit perfectly on the Bmax4, so they should be a perfect fit here as well? A wide 12mm hex is one of the most solid solutions out there, and I love having the same rims for all my cars:-)

Do you use the 12mm hexes front and rear or the small hexes on the front? How wide are the hexes you use? I think I'll want a B-Max4II Worlds to accompany my 2WD sooner or later, and my son might get the all plastic version... :D

Edit: When comparing pictures of the B-Max 4II and B4.1 rear axles, I get the impresseion that the PL hex adapters are a perfect fit. Can anyone confirm that?

[Bastos]

Yes, the Yok Hex of the BX and Bmax4 are the same ( the four Hex are the same )...and fit perfectly on B4 dogbones...so I suppose that, the PL Hex, as they are made for the B4...they can fit on Bmax4.
But no manufacturer made 12mm hex Wheel for 4WD front... :(

[Gayo]

Bastos, Kyosho 4wd front wheels use 12mm hex :thumbsup:

[mes]

The small (optional Yokomo) hex in the front is ok for me - as long as it isn't a pin and wheels are easy to get! :thumbsup:

[Bastos]

Bastos, Kyosho 4wd front wheels use 12mm hex :thumbsup:

OK, but the question will be : Does it fit perfectly without changing the car wide ?:)

David

[mes]

Thanks! I can only comment on the build (http://www.nrw-offroad-cup.de/nrw-offroad-cup-der-weg-zum-rennen/186)so far, as I'm still waiting for some AE wheel axles and my new radio. Part quality (aside from some of the screws) is top notch. Chassis material seems to be super tough, so pre-tapping is highly recommended. Oh, and I really love the shocks! :wub

[discothesnake]

Are the shocks the same as the bmax4? I love yokomo cars but parts etc are just too much of a hassle to get over here.

If a retailer over here brought the stuff over I would probably go back to Yokomo.

Enjoy the car!

David

[mes]

They are an improved version of the B-Max4II Worlds Spec shocks. The lower end does away with C-clips, the cartridge is kept under an extra bottom mounted lid. :thumbsup:

[mes]

Managed to drive one battery yesterday. After moving the shorty LiPo almost completely to the rear, the car was absolutely planted. :thumbsup:
We've got a mid to low-grip, slightly bumpy astroturf track that had experienced spells of rain and even hail in the course of the day - the joys of April! By the time I arrived in Troisdorf, the track was dry again. I ran kit set-up with yellow Schumacher minipins in the rear and staggers in the front. The 17.5 turn motor wasn't a big challenge for the car, but I've got to get used to small tyres again. Shocks are just plainly brilliant, the car was so smooth on the bumpy straight... :wub
I've got a 13.5 motor coming, and I'm looking forward to giving the car a good try in the stock class at the regional in early May. There'll be probably some 17.5 turn fun racing in Helmond/NL next week, too.

[kschu]

hi guys,

any one of you try B4.1 geardiff in this car yet???

Seems to be too wide for the current gearbox. :thumbdown:

doesnt B4.1 2wd ball diff same with bmax2 ball diff ?

[kschu]

what other bodyshell that can fit into bmax2 beside the one that come with the kit?

The place i race too muddy. my shock shaft scratch till the titanium coated gone..

[mes]

No, haven't seen those in use. I've seen some decent drivers using slim balloons to cover their springs on a dirt track, and it turned out to work quite well. :)

[kschu]

any pic of the mention baloon.?

[mes]

Something like that (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0e/Inflated_rocket_balloon.jpg)! Oh, and of course there are shock socks... You should find those easily on eBay or google.

[mes]

After my first race and two more days of practice, I'm very, very impressed. I managed to win a heat in a race for the first time ever while running just the second battery on the track in Helmond! :thumbsup:
My driving and set-up skills let the B-Max2 down a bit (adding a spacer instead of removing one made the car flip over when pushing too hard, tightened the diff but forgot to loosen the slipper, which made me jump too far, too little throttle after backing off the slipper made jump too short...:lol:).
In the end of the day, the car was very well to drive.
Today, I switched to the 13.5 turn motor, fiddled a little around with the setup on my slippery home track, and it was even easier to drive than with the 17.5 before. I think I'll need more power before long! :D

[kschu]

what is the use of the shim under the rear toe block ??

adding and remove what will be the effect??

what is the toe that common use ? 3.0 ,3.5 or 4.0 ?

About the toe, The Yokomo guys say that is depending about your driving...not about the track.
If you like to "Push hard" out of corner...set to 4°
If you have a smooth driving...set to 3°

For the anti squat setting, I use on slippery (dusty ) tracks 0° or 1°.
0° will give you a very easy car on bumps and a good lateral grip
2° will give you "motricity" and better on jumps.
With 0° you will get less motricity than 2°...
The Bmax2 is very special on that...in comparison...when you set 0° of antisquat on a RC10B4...you haven't got any motricity. With the Bmax2 you still got enought motricity with 0° to push out of corners or in front of a jumps.

Cheers,
Bastos

[Bastos]

Nothing groundbreaking on this car? :confused:

-Change the rear hub carrier for the Aluminium ones...in case of the cold weather plastic ones could break in case of a bad lateral landing.
-The rear "U" support for camber link absorb lot of shocks, it's made of a smooth plastic ( The yokomo plastic are well choosen ) but you can screw "BTR screws" on the holes that you do not use...to minimize the possibility of ball stud tearing-off.

[mes]

Nothing broken on the ground so far! :D
The B-Max2 handles superb, is very forgiving and very tough. Shocks don't leak, and even I am able to get a decent set-up. I couldn't think of a better car. This buggy gives you so much confidence that I just bought a 7.5 turn motor. :thumbsup:

Tried a bad lateral landing after a big jump including broken hub carrier today. Something had to give after that impact...
Lesson learned today: Only drive when you're standing on the drivers' stand! :blush:

I'm using this lipo in my Bmax2 at the moment...consistently power throughout the 7minutes race

Shorty Pack (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270974269146)

[mes]

I also use shorty batteries (Vampire Racing, great stuff!), and I really like the way you can move the weight to the front or rear.
Kind of refilled my shocks for the first time today. Oil was super clean, and hardly any of it had found a way out. Most of the few drops of oil I added, went out through the bleed holes again! That's after one race and quite a few training days. :thumbsup:
Moved to a 7.5 turn motor meanwhile - the first time ever for me - and the Max is just great. Only some small adjustments are needed and it does exactly what it is supposed to do. I never had a car that was so easy to set up and so consistent before.
As I'm going to our track with my eight year old son tomorrow, I installed the 17.5 again; I'd had to install it again anyway on Sunday at the latest, when I'll be going to the new Duisburg dirt track for some club racing.

As I wasn't too fond of the prospect of buying another expensive set of Kyosho spacers to mount PL or JC B4 hex adapters to the mid-motor B-Max2, I fiddled around with the parts I had in my box today. The thin wheel spacers from the B-Max4 are perfect for this job! Just put them on the axles, insert the pin and afterwards mount the hex adapters. :thumbsup:

I think it means something like response to motor rotation/forward bite.
