New B-max4 kit? Is it possible?

[CODMAN]

Hi all, would anybody have any insight into the possibility of Yokomo coming out with a new kit for the B-max4? With the Japans national kit having had such success, and the new Big bores and carbon battery strap out now, I was thinking they might bring out a new kit including these hop-ups...

Anybody have an oppinion on this? Sponsored racers, any inside info about this? Yay/Nay?

I might be buying myself a B-max4 this winter, but would definetly hold out if they will be coming out with a new kit... Cheaper than buying the hop-ups afterwards...

Cheers for any input on this!

i see one picture in the yokomo stand to the tokyo exhibition of one bmax4 factory team with all option......

Yes, that's the one I'm waiting for, too!
I wanted to get a DEX410 first, but with no Durango team driver to support me in my club, what's a hobby driver to do... Well, could have been worse!

Do you guys have links to this? Pics?

I can't find anything on the Yokomo site...

Thanks!

Had a quick look on the yokomo web site and found this

Nice! I hope it has more than just the Bigbores onboard! I guess we,ll see! That will definetly be the one I get if I can go through with it. Now how to hide it from the misses...

Here is the pic from yokomo for the thread....

Looks like it has the option front suspension block too, so hopefully it's bling all over!

Who's esc's/motors are they rebadging for their brushless?

Seems to be a trend over there, Tamiya have just rebadged the SXX TC too!

Is it just me or does that look like a new body with a bigger air vent on the side?

I wonder if it will have the Ti screw kit... or at least a hex screw kit...

[ottoswe]

Looks like the same body, with a large hole to fit the heat sink from the alu motor mount.

New kit (factory spec) is the same as the 09 spec champ kit (loads of alloy) with the addition of big bores as seen here: http://yokomo.blogspot.com/

Its in stock here: http://www.rc-race-and-drift-japan.c...oducts_id=1800

It doeas also contain the new carbon fiber battery mounts! An additional pair of springs (orange, soft) seems to be included, too , but unfortunately the front wheel hexes seem to be missing...

[CODMAN]

Wow, the hexes are not on the exploded view... It's either a mistake, or they really did omit them...

As for the springs, I think it comes with black front (medium) orange rear (soft)... Not a full set, with means ordering more for tuning...

[Kifogrande]

I really want one of these! Screw everyone else this christmas! Got to get priorities right, new car first!

[CODMAN]

It's been confirmed, the kit does not contain the hexes... Major bummer....

My factory kit just arrived today!! Hope to run it soon!! The big bore shocks are very nice looking!!

[CODMAN]

Hey Johan, can you confirm that the only shock springs included with the kit are the black fronts and orange rears? And it's the 87T spur that's included?

Thanks!
