yeah...maybe with the chassis esp.

I'm guessing there will be less flex...guess that's why they've done away with a top deck...

It looks that the motor position ( forward/backward ) and chassis torsion/flex ( screws in line center chassis ) could be set...

It looks ace that. MB have it priced up and on pre-order on their site. I'll be getting one to match my bmax 2 and to compare with my xray.

Definitely getting one. It looks stunning, I hope it's not going to be a dud like the MX4 was.

The shell is hideous it's like the K1 with the cab looking like an after thought then just shoved on the front! I hope JC are planning on making a Finnisher version.

looks extremely well specced as a standard kit. I hope it is not too expensive and bomb proof like a yz-10

Probably the B44.2 body will fit just like on the previous B-Maxes. I don't mind the kit body's look, similar in style to the MR body, and I actually like the centreline fin in the rear.

Looks like you can move the motor position fwd and aft to change weight balance. I wonder how it will do with no top deck, chassis must be over 2mm? Looks quality though and very good to see Yokomo getting some coverage and support back again.

Love the swept forwards front arms. Overcomes the dig-in problem of the XB4 lower arm mount/front bumper.
