Brilliant car

I've had both a b-max and a b44, the b-max was far superior in my opinion - so easy to drive and very forgiving handling

[traffman]

Great car and very strong.

Good car
Dont know what spares are like to get hold of nowadays

Great car - easy to drive, strong and reliable. Needs the carbon towers for ultimate strength, but after that pretty bombproof. Doesn't steer as sharply as a B44, but depending on your style that might be a good thing - certainly is for a newer driver.
Only problem area is that UK support is a bit lacking. DMS Racing are excellent and have a good stock of parts, but CML the importers seem to have given up on Yokomo. They aren't importing the newest parts (Bmax 2 and Worlds), don't have anyone racing the Bmax anymore and aren't pushing it to shops.
