yes, it is a B-max4 iii , should have put in in somewhere ...

the steering blocks from the YZ-2 are not tesame ... the carbon piece looks to be , but the turnblock itself is different , a lot stronger than the one for the YZ-2 ... i did a check myself :-p lol

Of course the blocks aren't the same. It's a 4WD car .

What is a turnblock? I have no clue about which part you are talking about.

Like i already thought, 3D Printed front hubs - better to see now. Looking good. Curious if Martin will take another win. He was fast in 2WD.

@Hans Wynants
"sorry, Skyaflake i'm not so perfect as you" -

I just asked, because first you write 'steering block' and then you write 'turnblock'. I was thinking you meant different parts. No biggie.

Indeed, they are still running a slipper. No problem, but they weren't happy with the results yesterday. Hope that Shin may comes up with something.

I think the one in the car is a slipper with the new ventilated disk.

New vented slipper is for YZ2, not BMAX4. Bmax4iii slipper is already vented.

This attached below looks nothing like a slipper.

Slipper is working great, but they are all a little off the pace with the car. Lee is 3rd overall after three rounds, so not that bad.

I've had a play with the slipper and spoken to Shin about it today. It's a pre-production/test part, and fits in place of the slipper lovely. Who knows if it will be made or used in the new car?

YZ-4 now advertised on MB Models website and no one has commented. What do we know about this car? I cannot find much when I google it.

Ball type centre diff which is why they are running covers to stop dirt ingress protecting the balls and plates.

eh?

No. it was a centre gear diff. I held it and played with it, and spoke to Shin about it. It was prototype 3d printed parts, with regular gear diff innards, and a 2wd gear diff casing machined down some to fit. Spur was attached with screws. fitted perfectly in the slipper space. There were four, Lee, Marc, Tom and Shin had a spare.
If the new car is belt drive, I doubt we'll see this part in production, however.
Was meant to make the car easier and more consistent to drive.

I'm expecting the new car or a pre-production prototype to début at the Nurburgring EOS next month, in prep for the Worlds.
