Like US we don't have any Yokomo supplier in my country (Norway)
So for u who want or already own a B-Max but are struggling with parts, check this out:
http://www.rc-race-and-drift-japan.c...&cPath=136_137
Can't find the part u want or need, just send Tim a email with the partnr ur looking for like i did. 2days later i got a positive reply that they had everything i asked for in stock...that's what i call service.
Shipping is sooooper fast from Japan to my country (faster then some webshops in my country) According to the owner they are ordering parts directly from Yokomo 1-2 times a week!
Thumbs up for Tim at www.rc-race-and-drift-japan.com
Looking forward to deal with him more in the future

Question for all you USA Yokomo car owners, where have you found is the best place to get parts from? I'm really looking at getting the new b-max factory car and only place I found it is rc-race-and-drift, and it looks like they are slowly getting more parts in, just wondering if there are other options.

Diggity Designs Prototype B-MAX Shock Towers
Big thanks to Diggity Designs for hooking my B-MAX4 up with some prototype carbon fiber shock towers. They are 4mm and are a spot on match! I think they will be available soon for all to purchase. Also, thanks to W.E.D. for the custom paint. Enjoy....

Since they use EMS as shipping,equivalent to your USPS global priority,that price should be right consider its a kit.I dont think they are ripping you of on shipping quote.
I never ordered a full kit from them,just spares and alu upgrades(I've started with standard version of b-max),I always pay 1500yen for ems shipping plus 700-800 paypal fees.
Do your math and dont forget you should pay costums fees.
One thing Im sure the car is f***ing awesome

67 may sound a bit high for a kit shipped via EMS...
BUT not when you take in to consideration the size of the kit box. (quite big and fat)
That alone jacks up the shipping price because everything is calculated by size of the package.
RCChamps is one of the good guys out there. Always courteous, fast in response and shipping. Always guaranteed great service.
Other good online stores for yoko parts:
HobbyHaven (Malaysia)

Well I just got my B-max4 factory team edition last week (Thanks tim at RC drift japan for the awesome service and no paypal fees!) and am about 2/3 through the build. As soon as I opened the box, I could tell how nice the kit looked... But honnestly, it wasn't till I assembled the first few molded plastic parts to the chassis that I realised just how incredible this kit is! Everything fits perfectly! And I mean Perfect!!!! No slop anywhere, no flashing, and nothing too tight either! I've never seen such quality in a kit in my life. I used to think my B44 and B4 were nice quality, but they pale in comparison...
And to think they sell the low end kit for 190$ with the same plastic quality (just no AL bling bling); what a deal for someone wanting to enter 4wd!!!!
Anyways, the B44 is sold... The B-max probably won't be any faster, but I'm already having much more fun building it! I'm still pinching myself about the quality...

Yup, all Philips head...
I ordered the titanium screw kit, whihc are all Hex metric, just for this reason. The kit replaces about 90 of the kits screws. Especially the ones you will loosen often for maintenance...
It's sincerely a piece of art... Unfortunately, I probably won,t get a chance to race it before Jan-Feb 2010... Gotta take care of the family...
