Interview with Robert Itoh and Yansunobu Hosoda from Team Yokomo.
 You're here with Neil Craggs all new race toy, how would you describe the car - is it based on previous competition models or is it designed from scratch? It's designed as an entry level competition model, rather than a high end competition model, the car is completely new - none of the parts from the Yokomo BX carry over. Yansunobu Hosoda designed both the new B-Max and the current BX cars. Is the B-Max a ready to run car, or is it available as a kit? Initially it'll just be the kit, it doesn't come built. Possibly there will be a ready to run version in future. What have you done to make the car ready for the European Championships? Have you changed or added any parts? The car that Neil is running is from stock, apart from using BX shocks. The kit will come with plastic threaded shocks, but these aren't ready yet. (The BX shocks on the photos are using the plastic collars off the B-Max shocks though - jimmy.) Will this car replace the BX or will it sit alongside? For a while it will be alongside the BX; the BX is for the high level racer, the B-Max for the entry level driver. And you're here to prove the cars ability at the European Championships, is the car designed to be raced competitively, or is it aimed at the budget racer? We've brought the car here because we hope to prove what it is capable of, the car was designed for the budget racer, but without sacrificing performance - and that is one of the reasons for bringing the car at the European Championships. At the moment there are no plans to develop it into the full racer, but we do have plans to offer small hop up options. What level of maintenance is required on this model, is it suitable for someone like Jimmy who prefers to never have to do any work on his cars? It requires standard maintenance as any R/C car would, but it is designed to be easy to maintain. The only thing we can think of, because it is a shaft drive car, is the diffs/drive train - it's a sealed drive train so requires less maintenance than other cars. Taken from the Euros Jimmy coverd in the Photo section! Lots of answers to Lots of questions Vinny
