It just takes some wrenching, just make sure your servo horn is long enough. Lengthening the link and offsetting the servo horn did the trick for me. You may also want to check your transmitter settings. I had to go up to 120% on my T5M as you cannot adjust the length of the link on the AE assembly.

All cars can go lock to lock on the steering and over throw in some. If not check your servo. Obvious is that when you over throw set the E.P.A. (end point adjustment) down, or not enough throw, set it up. Length of horn will give actual more steering response over short, but same throw. Length of steering rod will help adjust centering of wheels, to offset of horn, in some cases readjusting of horn and rod is necessary to adjust for full throw in one direction.

I always adjust my EPA to full throw or lock to lock on all cars. Then I adjust my Dual rate for conditions 100% being max steering, mostly I run the yz2 about 75-85% steering.

I had the same problem. . I had to make the linkage longer .

Then trim sub then to the right then put the horn on angle to the left a little.

Then epa on my futaba radio to get full throw on both sides. It will not be even on your epa steering

I don't think so anymore to be honest. Unless you need rear motor for something.

The Y-max has been .2 a lap faster then my best Bmax2 setup.

Mr. Pike

I think this was Yokomo B-MAX2 MR V3 1/10 2WD Competition Electric Buggy Kit [YOKB-MAX2MRV3]

was $159 last week.

maybe something for us to think about getting..


http://factory-rc.com/ kit is $54.95 plus the parts you need for $86

you at $140+

Is the Yokomo B-MAX2 MR V3 the right kit to have to make it Y-max?

That's an amazing price for the car. What I can tell you is how I'd do it now knowing that.

I'd by the Yz2 and get the Bmax kit ONLY if I was also running the 4wd buggy. Reason I say this is because the spare shock, parts,etc.

You'd also end up with a spare gear diff which is nice when testing fluids.

However if I was on a tighter budget and or NOT running the 4wd car I'd get a Yz2, the $86 parts and conversion. This allows you to go back and forth without wasting any parts or $$.

I can convert back and forth in about 20 minutes between the two if I have to. I think anywhere the B5m's are able to put power down where the Yz2 struggles the Y-max conversion is the answer.

You don't need the rear T plate that's for the bmax chassi. You do need the pils or the black inserts for the rear blue front suspension mount.

Also, that's the steel top shaft - if you're running stock, you'll want the aluminum one.
