I have 2 Penguin bodys for the Bmax4 lll. Both are way to short to fit properly... They are around 4/5mm to short. The first one is very VERY thick (which I think is great) but the second one has the same thickness as a stock Yokomo body.

I have lots of penguin shells for a variety of models (including bmax4iii) and I've found all to be superb. Steve has even done special shells for me when I was able to send him one I had from elsewhere that didn't fit. He altered the dimensions of a mould to make it fit just right.
Very helpful chap

How is that front spoiler going for you? Do you feel a lot more difference?

I must admit I put it on to stop snapping things at the front as I'd used it twice and broken it twice. Since fitting I've not broken anything so that seems like a success, mind you I've been running 2wd for the past few months.
Can't comment on the handling effect as my set ups are usually rubbish

As in you've broken the front tower? Im currently running the PSM 4mm tower and have had no issues... Ive done about 12-14 packs in the Yok running 6.5t on generally harsh Australian outdoor tracks..

Ive only broken a rear arm and couple of rear camber ball studs due to full throttle and doing cartwheels to the side, my bad.

That is true old school Yokomo YZ10 box art, not AE.

Traditionally, AE drivers ran Yok's before the JC/B44 buggy came about.

Just got the Phantom body by proline. Still think the Silencer J concepts body sits nicer than Phantom. Both quality lexan. I think the Silencer looks better though often people think it's a b44

Default My B-Max4 III

My new to me, albeit secondhand B-max4 III. I bought this in an immaculate condition from fellow oOple'r weejimmy. I have changed it to the shorty chassis, sprayed a couple of shells and I am really looking forward to giving this a run out this weekend

Guys, wanna talk wheels, and my hatred of yellow lol. I have some DE speedlines NIP in various colors for the ZX6 rear and ZX5/6 front, they seem to give a 3mm front wider stance and a 2mm rear, but its the closest i can get to run some colored rims, reckon they will be OK, or is my Max4 III gonna run like a pig?

My two Yokomo's, love these cars, the Bmax4 is my first modern 4WD, and what a car, still needs tweaking a tad, but fast from the box, just waiting on a Kifo job for it too.
