Why is that?? Do you have a part number for those?? I assume the geometry is the same for the "-2" arms??

On a different note--I'm starting my build and have assembled the diffs and notice that the diffs a definitely a but tight. It isn't due to the gears but simply from the outdrives being tight through the plastic diff case. I assume others have noticed this??
I further assume that after a few runs they'll just free up??
So far the quality looks great (better be for the price). Also looks to me like Yoke must own a Chinese Phillips head screw company......

As soon as i find better replacement hinge-pins, i will let you know..

next week i will receive shock tower braces that should prevent the tower from de laminating.
what is the correct part number for those bmax4-2 Arms?

The car takes 12mm hex wheels so

Front, aka, kyosho, proline, plus you can change to the old style losi front with a different hex.

Rear you have aka, jconcepts, proline etc...

No its a raw titanium rod he gave me. The pins are 3mm in diameter which is a big pin for him so he didn't have any. I'm gonna find a good way to cut them and make about 6 out of what I have left. If I had known about the 2 arms I wouldn't have ordered three sets of the 3 arms! Oh well they are cheap from yokomo Europe

The rear are typical 12mm hex wheels, ie AKA (23101W/Y) (Losi, Associated, Kyosho).
As for the fronts, the kit comes with 12mm hex or you can convert to the associated 10mm hex with the optional hex (BM-011F).

I believe for front a set of JConcepts Mono wheels will work as well. The guys at Amain recommended the correct 4WD front wheels to me and ended in '47' in the product code under the JConcept fronts

Gents,
For your information, the B-Max4III setup sheet done 10 days back suffered major revamp and it is now better overall quality.
If anything to add or modify, please let me know.

I presume you built the diffs with all 4 orings.

Remove the outer orings. these are only used if you have diff leakage.
they will be much smoother and feel free with only the inner orings.

Yes they do. I bought a couple spares myself as there are no specific b-max4 III pins available right now; installed in my kit as we speak. The package comes with 2 front and 2 rear that I purchased.
