Yokomo YZ-4

[Fozzy1989]

Details coming soon, but I would guess so. If it's a BD7 drive train with a slipper I would be a happy chappy. Either way early Xmas present for myself

[ralphee]

Im hoping its not going to be all guns blazing on this belt car, only just bought my Bmax4 and love it, hope the support continues for my car!

We have been told it will be a belt car. Will be no issues with spares for current cars as we have already demonstrated with the B-Max 2

Keep us updated on this. I think it's going to be my next purchase

[ralphee]

Awesome Michael, thats good to know, although at the current price that ZX6 is a steal too haha, maybe in time the YZ4 could tempt me!

Early xmas present for me, or maybe a late birthday present. Either way, I'll have one the day it lands.
I still run my bmax2 with no issues at all with parts supply from MB. I'd expect the same with BMax4, as it's still an excellent 4wd platform. There may be a few comon/compatible parts like bmax2/4/YZ2 anyway.

Will be released in December, not November.

Be my first yokomo since yz10 and last 4wd was ttech etq
Been really really close to buying a bmax but held off

[ralphee]

Can any eagle eyed spotters see one at the Euros haha?

Probably not, car should be running at the worlds later this year. Maybe Shin has a car, but he's not driving. Wouldn't surprise me if they try the car, but I guess they will go with the B-Max4 this time.

ok, i got the pic from the FB page of Yokomo europe. so thanks to the guys


i see new steering stuff ! , very nice, like the YZ-2 . now the ball cups won't rub the rims anymore!! would it come out as an option , or would this be already be part of the future car?

[adey]

I maybe wrong but isn't the new car supposed to be belt driven. I think I see a central mounted spur in that pic like its shaft drive ?. Look carefully lol

[skyaflake]

That's a B-Max 4 III. They are experimenting with updated steering parts for a while now because of the slop the steering has a bit on the car. Remember: the factory guys never run a car containing with parts "we" (some people excluded) can buy. The above picture is a great example of that.

[ralphee]

Thats not the new car mate, new option YZ2 steering plates, the new car may, or may not run at all, somebody posted Shin may have one at the track though!

Lee

[ralphee]

Thats got YZ2 front arms on too!

lee

[ralphee]

I foresee many trying a YZ2 front end on the car now lol, me included haha, there is a fair bit of slop Skyaflake i agree, still bullet fast though!

I'm not scrutineering today, will be tomorrow.
I very much doubt we'll see the YZ-4 TBH.

[skyaflake]

Probably not, wait for the worlds.

[ralphee]

Thats a bummer Neal, ah well, the uber cool Rheinard pics make up for it lol, not long to go now, looking forward to watching 4WD!

I've seen Lee and Tom's cars and they are bmax4iii. Chassis are stickered and marked in scrutineering, so they won't be changing.
