Hi Guys,
I'm looking to get a new bmax2 in a couple of weeks and as I'm new to the brand just got a couple of questions if anyone can help that would be great!! Just wondered if the car is good to go out of the box or if anyone thinks any upgrades are required? I will only be running on carpet and astro indoors with this particular car so high grip is all it will get used for. Also what do you recommend or experience shown in terms of cell choice on high grip setups in mid motor config. Are saddles preferred or are people using shorties to move the weight around to suit track conditions? I have saddles already but need to replace soon anyway, just want to get the best out of the car - not fussed about the cost. I presume saddles are heavier so would this be better than a smaller lighter shorty in high traction? Any help at all about this car would be brilliant and greatly received!! Many thanks, Craig

Out of the box the car is excellent, some drivers have had issues with idler gears but Yokomo now make an aliminium option so nothing to worry about.
Check out set ups at http://www.petitrc.com/setup/yokomo/...moBMax2MR.html Plenty of good set ups for both carpet and astro. Most prople seem to be using saddles but shorty lipos give you the weight option. There is a new aliminium chassis which in theory will be better on high grip tracks but everyone is still waiting on feedback as this is brand new and mostly untested, saying that the kit plastic chassis is excellent. The Cream front weight is popular. |

BMAX2 MR is almost perfect.
Almost? Yes, the ...wait for it... wheelnuts aren't very good. They come loose quite fast. I invested one Euro to upgrade to some serated ones. Raced the aluminium chassis last weekend for the first time, liked it, but to soon to say ít's a must have. |

It does not need the metal chassis option, I'm just saying there now is the option if you want it. Everyone has been running the Bmax2MR with the plastic chassis for 8 months now with great success. The plastic chassis gives you more flex which equals more grip. The car out of the box is excellent and does not need any hop ups plus its rock solid Yokomo build quality.

Out the box the car is great.
Wheel nuts are essential. And maybe some stiffer front springs. |

Excellent car, idler gears should last. I suspect the reason why people have had failures is due to people not taking note of the slipper setting in the manual.
Stiffer front springs is a must but that's it. |

I have driven lots of different cars rb6 / dex210/ losi 22 and more and the bmax2 is the easiest car to drive fast for me love it . As for hop ups rear serrated wheel nuts is a must . I have managed to brake 2 sets of idler gears but as peaple have sed it's probably Cus I don't run with any slip in my slipper as I just don't like my slippers to slip the car is very very strong as strong as a losi 22 and much stronger than all the rest I run mostly on hi grip astro / carpet I run losi pink rear and losi orange front springs
