My carbon one is lighter, but that milling does look nice. Nice they did a revised gear case to allow the diff direction to be swapped. Saves the dremmel job. I wonder how long before they make a new (v2) kit with this chassis included? that will be nice.

Going off how much the worlds chassis is for the B-Max2 is I'll give it a miss and get the Arrowmax carbon chassis to save weight.

So you'd be looking at around £75-£85 As your getting a full conversion set. Doesnt seem too bad |

Arrowmax chassis ordered. Once my lipo saddles need replacing I'll look at the conversion but until then I'm not remotely interested. It looks good but running saddles with it the benefits will be minimal unless you're changing to shorties relatively soon.

I ran my modified B-max4 III at torch a coue of weeks back. I loved it. It felt sharper, more nimble and jumped better.
I think you would like it in shorty mode.

The car seems quite sharp and easy to drive in standard layout but when driving it you can tell it's carrying an extra few pounds compared to other cars.
Despite it being on the heavy side it's still a great car. Once I change to shorties then I'll probably get the conversion. In the meantime I'll wait and see what people's views are before taking the plunge. |

what's the deal with the updated composite gear boxes? is it just a material change?

I hope they updated the front gearbox top to strengthen it.

I fitted shorter bolts in the bottom holes of front mount, seems to be holding out so far.

Just ordered two shorty packs. Going to do the mod too the standard chassis, are there any other tips that would help, TORCH is my local track and it appears that this setup is the way forward. What shock and diff oils are you running with this setup.?

Just fitted my new Penguin body. The OEM body is to flimsy and doesn't protect the electronics imo (allready costed me a brandnew esc and almost a motor). The Penguin body is very strong and fits nicely, the only downside is that there are no window decals included.
Great price though!

Arrowmax Chassis
I ran the Arrowmax chassis for the first time on Sunday and what a difference it makes. It has a little more flex than standard but it generates a stupid amount of grip and because it's lighter the car is definitely more nimble.

What did you do to your oils and springs to compensate? My shorty carbon chassis drops the weight by 200g, and as a result the damping needs work from the full weight setup. At this point I prefer the heavy car, but more time needed to get the lighter setup right

Front 10k diff oil Piston No.2 450cst shock oil Blue Associated Springs Rear 7k diff oil Piston No.1 400cst Green Associated Springs With the lighter rear end the car could rotate more under braking because of the difference in weight transfer. It jumps better too. |

I found the light/shorty car very bouncy at the rear on the same shock setup, went to the 2x1.7 piston, 400, and then down the AE springs from grey to black springs, but it was still bouncy, but less so. I've not had chance to work on the shock piston/oil and spring setups for the lighter car. 2x1.6/400 had far too much pack for the weight of the car, even with the lightest spring, it couldn't respond quick enough. Not tried the kit pistons however. The saddle car is working really well for me, and with big-ish meetings recently I've just wanted it to work, so kept it as it was. I think the thicker anti-roll bars will help to run a lighter spring. I currently run the 1.6mm rear bar, but think a heavier one will help with running lighter shock springs. I'm running currently Front 2x1.6/600cst Yok orange 10k 1mm anti-roll bar Rear 2x1.7/400cst (or maybe AE32.5/388cst) Yok orange 10k 1.6mm anti-roll bar Indoors at York (low traction gym floor and carpet) I run Yok black or even Purple springs, much heavier which really helps with the low traction. Light springs just turn the rear end into mush and donuts. What is your car weighing in at?

Does anyone use a shock tower protector? Looking for something like a shock tower bra used by the 1/8th guys.
