Bmax4 II world spec kit conversion install

Post by naushad »

I know this isn't vintage but I think it great to see how yokomo have stepped up things with 4wd recently.

I really rate the bmax4. In my opinion one of the most satisfying 4wd to drive...shame support for it in the uk is dwindling.

Anyway I purchased a world spec conversion kit some months back (cheers Craig W) and it's taken me ages to install it! Anyhow, enjoy the pics! I've shown some of the key features.

I had a hopped up bmax so this became my recipient of the kit.

Image

The kit includes several options

Image

The new front and rear driveshafts are more durable and the ends are protected by a plastic swivel cap which I'd assume would reduce wear and tear.

Image

Some more nice alloy bling! These are the new upper arm mounts: bit fiddly to install as you have to undo the gear boxes. Two front and two back.

Image

New slipper assembly. Again a little fiddly to assemble but when installed the slipper nut is more accessible which wasn't the case before

Image

Probably not so clear but there are new shock towers which have some plastic shaved off to permit clearance of the new upper arm mounts.

Image

My electrics install. Orion r10 esc, savox servo, spektrum receiver and speed passion 8.5t motor. Wires are a bit messy as I haven't soldered some of them yet!

Image

The conversion kit comes with the new lightweight front cab body. I went with the stock look courtesy of the excellent Mike Parker of number 5 designs...

Ready to roll with some "older brothers"!

Not to familiar with the Bmax series, but looks tight! I saw on oople recently that Yoke was coming out with Bmax 2 mid, which looks really cool to me. So I got to looking into this car and cannot find any info for Yokomo here in the states. At one time I think they set up a Yokomo USA division, but it must have been pulled out.
