Marcus, I find the green cut staggers up front to have a little less bite and so be a lot more forgiving. So try to set my car up around them and if I need a bit more front end, can then go to yellow equivalents or Mini Spikes.

I have added 25 g (20g plate in front kick up plate and 5g in the recess for the front arm mount) to help stop the front lifting up. On high grip tracks with a 5.5 wheelying is a big problem in midmotor lol

Will be trying an extra 80g lipo weight today (already run 55g there) to see if the car reacts better over bumpy surfaces as i feel its a bit light at the moment, my old CENTRO and DEX210 are about 1600g with same electrics and this car is only 1505 with the weight i already have in it

Mini Spikes are way too much at our track, but we hope to get better astroturf with less sand in it soon. Other than that, dBoots Block Pass are getting more and more popular (maybe due to the EOS) and are easier to mount than the lp cut staggers. I'll probably check the green ones out if we'll have to wait for the good astro much longer. As the next two or three races after this weekend are on clay, choosing front tyres will be much easier! ;) I'm looking forward to trying the Sweep Square Armors in two weeks. Watch this space!

I have decided to let my Bmax2 MR to go. The car has been professionally built but never been run yet. The car already has a servo, HW V3 speedo installed.

Please let me know if you are interested in.
Thanks,

Do you have one Bmax 2? I was thinking of getting one.

Please forgive me if this has been asked. How does the B-MAX 2 MR (rear motor setup) compare to the TLR22? I have a 22. For me, it handles well in rough sections and jumps/lands great (consistent lap times). It's very sluggish getting around corners, which drives me crazy (at least for my setup and/or driving style). I'm just not happy with the 22. I guess I'm looking for something more agile.

Hello, I just switched. I was running the 22 before the bmax. It's so much more smooth and consistant it's not even funny. The bmax is the best steering car I've had. Good luck

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Joel.
I was hoping to get one but they have been out of stock for at least a 2 weeks now. Not sure if I want to switch if they are going to be short on parts.
