Cheapest is to draw one up, get yourself a piece of carbon and go to your local CNC guy. It's not that expensive.I can draw one up and share the drawing here, but I guess people will take disadvantage of it and start selling it.
Luckily I have some spare carbon around, easy to do.

Personally I want a factory/Yokomo looking part, not a home made or off brand part. I've tried off brand hopups on previous cars, and they almost never improve things and always get removed when they fail to live up to expectations. I'll be keeping my cars with on brand parts only.

He is definitely a nice guy, and his parts seem to be of great quality. You can't go wrong with something like a battery brace, but I agree with Neal on the majority of aftermarket conversions. I do hope Yokomo will release the Euros car as a complete kit, but I'll not buy a heap of parts just for a conversion.

Obviously you don't know me, but that's not a problem at all. I'd actually prefer to share a CAD drawing, but I know people take (dis)advantage of this, thus I will not share (or draw at all)
The problem with "releasing" a conversion kit is quite simple. People don't want to do a lot to the car. Modifying cars like "we" did 10 years ago (and 20 years back even more, but I didn't do RC cars 20 years ago - I was 7 back then ) is rarely done. People are scared to try things and prefer factory things. Believe me, the Yokomo guys have more modified parts than any of may dream of. That's what makes them fast and "us" slow. The real fast guys do a lot more to their cars than we do. Obviously nobody thought about the "Y-Max", but they did it, and that made them one step ahead. To conclude this post, why I didn't even THINK about a conversion kit? Those 10 people that want to run a conversion can hack one together, it's a bit - even though I like Yokomo - waste of time to develop a conversion kit for a couple of sales. My opinion? If you want to convert, hack something together. Try it yourself. It's not that hard. If you are scared or too lazy to do it, wait for a conversion.

so the ymax conversion has even more steering than a bmax2 could ever generate. So it was not just the forward position motor of the yz-2 that made it turn so well, it is also the front end geometry.
So I hear some people have put yz-2 front end parts onto their bmax2, way before the ymax conversion was even ever thought of. It would be interesting to put them both in a head to head shootout..... |
