I'll get an MR for myself for sure, and my son is looking forward to getting an RS for his birthday. That'll be five B-Maxes on my bookshelf!

Here's hoping they hit the UK shores, really miss the Yokey

Thanks for those pics Sylvain - great 'behind-the-scenes' insight.... would love to see pictures of some of the older cars in the display cases - there looks to be some interesting models for sure!

I like the look of the Bmax2 M - certainly a tempting proposition - as long as a decent spares back-up could be ensured.

With a shorty servo looks like there will be heaps of room for electrics and may even be able to get a stick pack in there if the battery holder outside lip doesn't go across the chassis (just around the pods)

Hope that front plate is strong as that may take a hammering, good that its replaceable. So there may be and alu one at some point

Wondering about the rear T plate or lack there of? The 22 / 210 RB6 take a fair bit of heavy landing there, hope its strong

They are my concerns

Steering rack looks interesting as well

No problem with either the front or the rear in my "old" B-Max2 so far, it is pretty much bulletproof!
IIRC, full size lipo with low profile servo has been confirmed already. From the looks of the pics, there might be a little more room in the side pods than in the current car, maybe due to the lack of a stick lipo "tunnel".

Where can I get one? I really like the look of the mr

[mes]

As yet nowhere. It is scheduled for before Christmas, so we'll have to wait for a few more days or weeks.

Just found out that the RS features a gear diff - time to get lazy again?

[smokes]

How will the car compare to the rb6.
It is a lot cheaper than the rb6 as well.
I am assume Yokomo have found a way of getting round the exchange rate by selling it from another point of origin.

[mes]

I don't know if Kyosho's prices are as high just due to exchange rates. In Germany, they are the only manufacturer who tries to charge more than 20 euros for a pair of big bore springs. In my opinion they're either greedy or desperate and in big financial problems...

Cannot comment on the RB-6 other than I don't like the tall front shock tower, but my B-Max2 has been great so far!

Don't get my wrong, I used to be a big Kyosho fan, but experiences made with the ZX-5SP front hub carriers/spindles, Ultima SC axles made of cheese and part prices made me think twice when it came to buying another K car.

This is a very nice looking car, looks to be the perfect 2wd to me.

Moulded chassis so nothing to bend, and keeps the water/dirt out. Mid-motor but with the motor as far back as possible for decent traction. Fits B4 wheels. Japanese build quality. And only around £200.

Something that may finally tempt me away from my X6sq (if it proves itself on UK tracks, and someone else does the setup work for me ).

Found this on redrc talking about a ball diff not a gear diff in the kit

http://www.redrc.net/2012/11/yokomo-...gy/#more-60135

[J'MM'N]

The MR comes with a ball diff and the cheaper RS version comes with a gear diff. I'm guessing both should be interchangeable, for those that want to buy a gear diff as a spare and fit in the MR.

[mes]

Right! Look at the bearing position on the outdrives of the ball diff, they are located more on the outside than on the original B-Max2 ball diff.

There'll be an upgrade kit for the old car. I wonder whether I should upgrade or just buy the new body for the rear motor car as I want to have a separate mid-motor car anyway...
