I hope so too, for all Yokomo offroaders out there...
Theres always the possibility that hands were shaken over a few caveats in the contract regarding copyright designs and production releases once the chassis overall layout has been sold off for independent manufacturers
As a professional involved in the creative industry, I can support the above notion as long as the distribution of design has been blessed by the parent company. I wont say the same if another company just simply copies a design success and sells it under their own name.

Wel it's not impossible... Just improbable... :0)
1- The B-max was first out... Copies appeared after it's release... If they were using soemones elses design, it would probably eb the other way around...
2- Yokomo has a long history of designing their own 4wd 1/10 buggies...
3- They do distribute AE products in japan, which is probably the reason they never designed a 2wd Buggy... To my great sadness... :0)
4- The B-max4 performs way too well for it to have been deisgned by some other company... It was obviously designed by someone with a lot of experience in racing...
Anyways, like I said it's not impossible... As for the hop-ups advertised above... Yokomo makes each and everyone of them for the B-max, except they are much nicer looking, you are 100% sure it will be an exact fit and are top quality, and it encourages Yokomo to keep designing great cars... I know I won't be putting anything but originals on my B-max...
Cheers!

I agree. As long as there is a civilized agreement, I don't care if there are copies of the Yokomo... I don't even mind about the above poster who "shamelessly" plugs hop-ups for another make of car, that should fit the Yokomo... The only thing is I found his post cheap (as the parts :0))) ) in that he didn't take time to contribute anything to this thread. He just posted a website, with parts, which aren't even clearly compatible with the B-max4, in the hopes of stirring up some business. He could have at least taken the time to explain a bit... but it was just an easy, blatant plug... If I was a MOD, that's the kind of post I'd erase... :0/

It would be OK if they had an agreement with Yokomo. But do they? I don't know, but I don,t see how it would profit Yokomo to licence their design to others...
there are very minor differences between that car and a bmax 4

all i gotta say is that now when we throw our cars down onthe track and in the pits everyone is gonna be like hey is that the new tq car? it just ruined our cars completely!! so now im gonna heavily badge my YOKOMO BMAX 4 with yoko stickers and jdm stickers. i think its a disgrace to all of us that drive yokomos!! nakes me sick that a company would totally rip a design off of another like this!! in the 2wd community its ok because they all ues others design and basicly all look the same!! not even 1/8 has a ripp off like this!!
its really sad to see this happening to the yokomo
we are the last of a dying breed and now we just got flushed down the drain!!

Did you see the Durango clone? It's an exact copy! And half price!... I'm pretty sure none of these companies are paying to use the designs...
