PSM might be a better choice as there are options for you, as for arrowmax, its direct cut and paste, hassle free bolt on from existing alu chassis.

i have to say after installing the the arrowmax chassis, the bmax 4/3 feels like she has undergone some lipo suction surgery, she became noticeably lighter in overall weight.

we are running outdoors with little to almost no traction, and after installing the carbon under chassis, somehow or rather, she was much more fun to drive, more positive and nippy.

will be trying her soon on Astro and see how she runs..

cheers!!

The arrowmax steering rack eliminates the need for the carbon fibre brace. The brace was to stop the plastic one from flexing, the aluminium rack does not flex.

May as well remove the carbon brace.

Yes you are totally right.. But since I have already bought bought both of them.. Might as well leave it there.. Hopefully it does less harm then good..

Probably not the same.. Then again, I might be wrong.. The original wheels I feel is a tad too soft, the plastic or materials used on the wheels are very soft compared to other brands, I had my fair share of the front being stripped out from the hexes.

I am currently now on DE WHEELS suited for tlr22 rear and de wheels suited for kyosho zx5/6 fronts, yes, the offset might be a tad different from the originals but it work wonders for me, the wheels are much stronger.

Cheers!

Never had any of the original Yokomo hex wheels strip and I race on carpet, astro and dirt...? But any kyo or 22-4 front wheels and standard hex rear wheels do also work.

mine bmax4/3 front wheels had an issue with the left front, wheels had been popping off from the hexes within a 10min run, stripped a few sets of yokomo front wheels.

as of now, DE front wheels for ZX5/6 currently still holds on and they are stronger, then again it basis on my testing.

22-4 wheels are strong too.

The only thing I think that should be changed straigth away are the wheel pins - should be replaced against the hard pins no matter on what surface you drive.

Default New B4-008R1 Rear Wishbones

New B4-008R1 Rear Wishbones - Out in Japan this week, coming soon...

Original Link: https://yatabearena.com/partslist/b4..._b4_008r1.html

Translated:
Rear Lower Suspension Arm (1 mm Longer) for B-MAX4III - B4-008R1



It is a rear suspension arm of B-MAX4III for options. In the long suspension arms 1mm than standard, it becomes 2mm wide tread to suit both sides. Limit of the rear is higher than the standard, cornering becomes more aggressive.

As used by Naoto at the 2014 JMRCA: http://www.teamyokomo.com/download/s...nals_naoto.pdf
