About the toe, The Yokomo guys say that is depending about your driving...not about the track.
If you like to "Push hard" out of corner...set to 4°
If you have a smooth driving...set to 3°

For the anti squat setting, I use on slippery (dusty ) tracks 0° or 1°.
0° will give you a very easy car on bumps and a good lateral grip
2° will give you "motricity" and better on jumps.
With 0° you will get less motricity than 2°...
The Bmax2 is very special on that...in comparison...when you set 0° of antisquat on a RC10B4...you haven't got any motricity. With the Bmax2 you still got enought motricity with 0° to push out of corners or in front of a jumps.

Cheers,

-Change the rear hub carrier for the Aluminium ones...in case of the cold weather plastic ones could break in case of a bad lateral landing.
-The rear "U" support for camber link absorb lot of shocks, it's made of a smooth plastic ( The yokomo plastic are well choosen ) but you can screw "BTR screws" on the holes that you do not use...to minimize the possibility of ball stud tearing-off.

Nothing broken on the ground so far!
The B-Max2 handles superb, is very forgiving and very tough. Shocks don't leak, and even I am able to get a decent set-up. I couldn't think of a better car. This buggy gives you so much confidence that I just bought a 7.5 turn motor.

Tried a bad lateral landing after a big jump including broken hub carrier today. Something had to give after that impact...
Lesson learned today: Only drive when you're standing on the drivers' stand!

I'm using this lipo in my Bmax2 at the moment...consistently power throughout the 7minutes race

Shorty Pack

I also use shorty batteries (Vampire Racing, great stuff!), and I really like the way you can move the weight to the front or rear.
Kind of refilled my shocks for the first time today. Oil was super clean, and hardly any of it had found a way out. Most of the few drops of oil I added, went out through the bleed holes again! That's after one race and quite a few training days.
Moved to a 7.5 turn motor meanwhile - the first time ever for me - and the Max is just great. Only some small adjustments are needed and it does exactly what it is supposed to do. I never had a car that was so easy to set up and so consistent before.
As I'm going to our track with my eight year old son tomorrow, I installed the 17.5 again; I'd had to install it again anyway on Sunday at the latest, when I'll be going to the new Duisburg dirt track for some club racing.

As I wasn't too fond of the prospect of buying another expensive set of Kyosho spacers to mount PL or JC B4 hex adapters to the mid-motor B-Max2, I fiddled around with the parts I had in my box today. The thin wheel spacers from the B-Max4 are perfect for this job! Just put them on the axles, insert the pin and afterwards mount the hex adapters.

Hi, guys!
I adapted the body of RB6 on my Bmax 2!

[Naushad]

Looks slick...nice photos...

[mihael]

lokks so good

That's the original Kyosho RB-6 body, iirc aka the "Blade".

[cryer-evo]

forgive me but what is motricity

[mes]

I think it means something like response to motor rotation/forward bite.
