Yokomo B-MAX2 MR, RS, V.2, V.3, FACTORY, WORLDS - YZ-2 buggies
***ATTENTION MIP Puck Drive System Users********************************************
MIP was suppose to have a STOCK pucks drive system for the bmax2's. But demand wasn't high enough for them to produce a kit. Now that the bmax2, and stock racing, has evolved quite considerably the demand for the MIP STOCK pucks is here.
Will 'WillS' has gotten in contact with MIP and he addressed this demand for the STOCK pucks directly to them.
http://www.rctech.net/forum/13792668-post2073.html
Quoting: "Just got off the phone with MIP. If we want a 17.5 puck system for the cars we need to send them an email to show interest. The email address is [email protected]. In the subject line make sure to address stock puck system as they already make a mod one. The more emails that are sent is the more likely we can get our stock puck system made."
In the meantime Will 'WillS' has provided some information in reducing weight on the heavy yokomo outdrives for stock racers. quoting: "I found a company that can turn our stock ball diff outdrives into lightened outdrives. Total weight of the 2 would be 17ish grams. I am looking at interest and have an email to find out how many sets to consider a run for him. This will help out us stock guys tremendously. Going to try and sneak in some wheeler ones to see if he will do them for when I go to stock nats."

"NEW" YZ-2 buggy #BYZ-2
Yokomo YZ-2 Order Sheet
Yokomo is introducing the all-new YZ-2, a state-of-the-art 1/10th-scale EP 2WD offroad competition mid-motor chassis kit, engineered from the ground-up for today’s racing environment and designed to deliver leading-edge developments to offroad enthusiasts, all while offering a luxurious feel by featuring black-anodized aluminum parts with chamfered edges for select components.
In recent days, offroad racing has seen a shift toward high-grip surfaces; use of astro, carpet and even high-grip dirt has become more and more prevalent. Last year’s World Championships was held on a dirt track where the surface was covered with sugar water to increase the grip.
With these developments in the offroad racing scene, the YZ-2 was designed from the ground-up to perform its best in today’s high-speed, high-grip race tracks.
By employing a super-low center-of-gravity motor mount and gearbox, the YZ-2 has realized an unprecedented weight balance never seen before in offroad racing cars, resulting in dramatically reduction of traction rolls on high-grip surfaces, and improved overall stability of the car.
An innovative steering design where the wiper swing action is directed toward the rear of the car affords a more direct steering response compared to conventional designs.
The hard-coated, low-friction anodized aluminum cylinders leads to smoother shock absorbing movements which allows better driving characteristics.
Also, quick alignment adjustments can be made without the need of optional parts by replacing the bushings of the front hub carrier and rear suspension mounts, a quality that can be an advantage in adapting quickly to various track conditions.
Everything about the Yokomo YZ-2 has been designed to provide an advantage for racers in today’s offroad racing scene.

RDRP(Revolution Design Racing Products)30 gram and 60 gram motor weights
"The RDRP Ultra Motor Weight 30/60g is designed for hassle-free chassis weight distribution changes.
With the enormous power current brushless motors and LiPo batteries offer it is often recommended to add additional weight especially on bumpy or low traction tracks.
To do away with unsightly wheel balance weights that are often used and that can be thrown out of the car in the event of a crash and to add weight where your chassis needs it, the RDRP Ultra Motor Weight is inserted between the motor and the motor holder. Especially in 2WD buggies and 4WD touring cars the motor is often located near the roll centre and this is the perfect place for added weight.
Coming CNC-machined from high-quality steel and sporting a black anodising the 30g plate is 4mm thick and the 60g plate is 8mm thick."

RDRP(Revolution Design Racing Products)30 gram and 60 gram motor weights
"The RDRP Ultra Motor Weight 30/60g is designed for hassle-free chassis weight distribution changes.
With the enormous power current brushless motors and LiPo batteries offer it is often recommended to add additional weight especially on bumpy or low traction tracks.
To do away with unsightly wheel balance weights that are often used and that can be thrown out of the car in the event of a crash and to add weight where your chassis needs it, the RDRP Ultra Motor Weight is inserted between the motor and the motor holder. Especially in 2WD buggies and 4WD touring cars the motor is often located near the roll centre and this is the perfect place for added weight.
Coming CNC-machined from high-quality steel and sporting a black anodising the 30g plate is 4mm thick and the 60g plate is 8mm thick."

BMAX2 V.1/MR/RS tips, tricks, and mods
Known Problems or Defects: BMAX2 V.1
These following problems were part of the first generation BMAX2 V.1's.
Early bmax2 v.1 kits came with weak and brittle tranny outdrives. if you purchased an early V.1 kit with the defected outdrives get in contact with the company where you purchased your bmax2 V.1. they will provide you with new updated outdrives at no charge. yokomo did recognize this problem and made note of it on their site. later bmax2 kits came with the new updated outdrives with a supplement stating the fix.
photo credit: fullsyzz
Brittle e-clips for the shock shafts. Often breaking on hard landings. later kits provide a supplement and new updated e-clips for the fix.
photo: alana07
Known Problems or Defects: BMAX2 MR/RS:
These following problems were part of the BMAX2 MR/RS buggies.
MR rear suspension mount t-plates have been known to crack under hard landings or not so hard landings. It is still not known if this is a bad batch of t-plates, or if people are tightening their screws a little too hard in this area.

Tips, Tricks, and Mods:
The cheapest mod you could do to your bmax2 is to replace your front stock metric axles, and replace them with the yokomo "associated" 3/16" axles (part #B2-010FI). you will also need four 3/16" x 3/8" unflanged bearings ($1 ea. at avid rc). with this mod you could use team associated/proline/jconcepts/de racing b4 front wheels. wheels will now be cheaper and easier to find.
Raising the tranny with spacers or a kit from team azarashi. You could also use 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm yokomo spacers to achieve this as well. Raising the tranny Improves forward bite. TLR has a very similar mod for their 22's.
a great tip from 'MarkA' regarding the heavier stock idler shafts: "Speaking of weights, I was looking at some of my old leftover Tamiya TRF201 stuff and realized that these fairly cheap lightweight idler shafts fit perfectly in our gearboxes replacing the stock solid steel ones. It takes two of those to register 1g on my scale, two stock ones are coming in at 4.5g so a couple bucks removes a couple grams up high in the gearbox."
tamiya part #54344
Team associated's gear diff part #9827 (b4/t4/sc10) will fit the bmax2 tranny. You will also need to get a set of 10mm shims (from either yokomo, tamiya, or kyosho) in various thicknesses to fix the side to side play. Use an equal amount of shims on both sides to keep the gear diff centered within the tranny. remember to replace your old idler gear with a new one when changing over to a new gear diff or ball diff gear.
Once i get confirmation of other ball diffs or gear diffs that could fit the bmax2 i'll post them up. Shoot me a pm if you would like to contribute.
Great tip from 'MarkA' about temporarily replacing his worn out yokomo gear diff, and replacing it with an associated (part #9827) gear diff. also proper shimming of associated gear diff within the bmax2 tranny.
Via 'MarkA':
"My beloved Yoko gear diff actually wore out (the plastic diff gear did and Amain was out) so I bought the AE one to get back on track as the ball diff wasn't agreeing with my track/driving style/setup. It does fit and to add a starting point for spacing it into the Yoko gearbox, I used 5 of the 10.0×0.20mm shims on each side to get it "close enough." It also takes several runs to "break-in" and get the internal gears meshing correctly as opposed to the Yoko one where they're just machined correctly but in a pinch, it's serving it's purpose."
Avid rc aluminum kyosho top shaft and triad slipper clutch installation via petitrc...
Team associated VTS slipper clutch install....
Team associated clear gear cover installation: simple install. just place the gear cover over your motor plate and mark your holes and drill and tap. make sure your gear cover is clearing your spur gear.
12mm REAR hex adapter wheel conversion. great tip from 'mes'. Following parts are needed: yokomo #BM-011S rear wheel spacers, and jconcepts #JCI2091 12mm rear hex adapters. Remove the roll pin and remove the blue stock wheel spacer. Add the yokomo #BM-011S wheel spacer and replace your roll pin back into the axle. Place the 12mm Jconcepts #JCI2091 rear hex adapters over the axle and over the roll pin. Place a dab of blue thread locker onto the head bolt and tighten down snug into the hex adapter. Repeat on the other axle. you could also use proline or associated 12mm hex adapters.
Another VERY SIMPLE 12mm REAR hex mod is to use a team associated, jconcepts, or proline FRONT 12mm b4 hex adapters. you could mount the hex in the rear with no modification or removal of the blue wheel spacer or roll pin. just slide on the associated 12mm front hex adapter over your axle and roll pin, lock down, and you're good to go. (source: 'mekios')
Hot Bodies 12mm REAR wheel hex adapter mod. great tip from 'julius_makewar': "I have used the HB pin and not the Yokomo roll pin. The HB Hex has a .75mm or thereabouts, step on the inside face (possibly designed to run against the inner race on HB cars) which is flush against the Yokomo axle spacer. The pin is not fully bottomed out in the Hex groove but it is completely covered by the hex and should be well enough engaged and secure to not cause an issue. I have used these hexes on my Tamiya TRF201 in a similar way for some time with no ill effect. ... There is 1mm of thread protruding past the wheel nut." MORE INSTALL PICTURES

Removing side to side play on your front wheels. adding a 8x10mm shim (from yokomo, kyosho, tamiya or calandra) within the wheel, before mounting your bearing, will eliminate your play.

Great tip from 'janus_77' for modding your shock bottom caps and adding the appropriate collars and shims. this will further reduce shock shaft movement and bleeding issues. which in the long run will reduce shock rebuilds. yokomo has taken notice of this issue and has released their new revised shock bottom caps and collars for the "X" type Version II shocks. part # B2-S4B1.

YZ-2 / B-MAX2 MR Cross Fitting Parts:
Great tip from 'WillS' quoting:
"For everyones information books... YZ-2 front pieces fit the Bmax2 and make it the same width as stock. This will allow for 25/27/30 caster, spindle height and options of flat/gullwings [arms]. There is also no need to for a bump spacer and it provides more ackerman for low speed steering."

When asked what this cross fitting will do... quoting 'WillS':
"Does quite a few things that will benefit the car.
Different caster, where as before we were stuck to 25/5, we can now go as low as 25/0.
Spindle height to play with front end weight.
Ackerman, With the v3 I felt there was always too much. This will allow for more low speed steering in which I felt the car lacked for the speeds of prostock.
Tuning option of Flat or Gullwing [arm]. Shock towers are in the works."
Quoting Markus 'Mes' :
"... If I understood the YZ-2 manual correctly going as low as 25/-5 should be possible, which might be good on high-bite tracks."
'WillS' response:
"Yup, and I saw Naoto use 0 degree blocks a lot. I am starting there and hoping it makes the car have a ton of steering. If this happens, I think this will make it the B5m killer. I like the YZ-2 but I think this car has a greater potential to being the car for all surfaces."
Weights to take into consideration:
Front lower suspension mounts (Plastic, Alloy, Brass) Via 'ReneT':
"Plastic = 8g
Alu[alloy] = 12g, alu[alloy]+11 = 23g
brass = 50g, No extra weight option in the brass mount.
There's also one made by Cream in the UK that is 40g. You can add weight in that one"

These following problems were part of the first generation BMAX2 V.1's.
Early bmax2 v.1 kits came with weak and brittle tranny outdrives. if you purchased an early V.1 kit with the defected outdrives get in contact with the company where you purchased your bmax2 V.1. they will provide you with new updated outdrives at no charge. yokomo did recognize this problem and made note of it on their site. later bmax2 kits came with the new updated outdrives with a supplement stating the fix.

Brittle e-clips for the shock shafts. Often breaking on hard landings. later kits provide a supplement and new updated e-clips for the fix.

Known Problems or Defects: BMAX2 MR/RS:
These following problems were part of the BMAX2 MR/RS buggies.
MR rear suspension mount t-plates have been known to crack under hard landings or not so hard landings. It is still not known if this is a bad batch of t-plates, or if people are tightening their screws a little too hard in this area.

Tips, Tricks, and Mods:
The cheapest mod you could do to your bmax2 is to replace your front stock metric axles, and replace them with the yokomo "associated" 3/16" axles (part #B2-010FI). you will also need four 3/16" x 3/8" unflanged bearings ($1 ea. at avid rc). with this mod you could use team associated/proline/jconcepts/de racing b4 front wheels. wheels will now be cheaper and easier to find.
Raising the tranny with spacers or a kit from team azarashi. You could also use 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm yokomo spacers to achieve this as well. Raising the tranny Improves forward bite. TLR has a very similar mod for their 22's.
a great tip from 'MarkA' regarding the heavier stock idler shafts: "Speaking of weights, I was looking at some of my old leftover Tamiya TRF201 stuff and realized that these fairly cheap lightweight idler shafts fit perfectly in our gearboxes replacing the stock solid steel ones. It takes two of those to register 1g on my scale, two stock ones are coming in at 4.5g so a couple bucks removes a couple grams up high in the gearbox."
tamiya part #54344
Team associated's gear diff part #9827 (b4/t4/sc10) will fit the bmax2 tranny. You will also need to get a set of 10mm shims (from either yokomo, tamiya, or kyosho) in various thicknesses to fix the side to side play. Use an equal amount of shims on both sides to keep the gear diff centered within the tranny. remember to replace your old idler gear with a new one when changing over to a new gear diff or ball diff gear.
Once i get confirmation of other ball diffs or gear diffs that could fit the bmax2 i'll post them up. Shoot me a pm if you would like to contribute.
Great tip from 'MarkA' about temporarily replacing his worn out yokomo gear diff, and replacing it with an associated (part #9827) gear diff. also proper shimming of associated gear diff within the bmax2 tranny.
Via 'MarkA':
"My beloved Yoko gear diff actually wore out (the plastic diff gear did and Amain was out) so I bought the AE one to get back on track as the ball diff wasn't agreeing with my track/driving style/setup. It does fit and to add a starting point for spacing it into the Yoko gearbox, I used 5 of the 10.0×0.20mm shims on each side to get it "close enough." It also takes several runs to "break-in" and get the internal gears meshing correctly as opposed to the Yoko one where they're just machined correctly but in a pinch, it's serving it's purpose."

12mm REAR hex adapter wheel conversion. great tip from 'mes'. Following parts are needed: yokomo #BM-011S rear wheel spacers, and jconcepts #JCI2091 12mm rear hex adapters. Remove the roll pin and remove the blue stock wheel spacer. Add the yokomo #BM-011S wheel spacer and replace your roll pin back into the axle. Place the 12mm Jconcepts #JCI2091 rear hex adapters over the axle and over the roll pin. Place a dab of blue thread locker onto the head bolt and tighten down snug into the hex adapter. Repeat on the other axle. you could also use proline or associated 12mm hex adapters.
Another VERY SIMPLE 12mm REAR hex mod is to use a team associated, jconcepts, or proline FRONT 12mm b4 hex adapters. you could mount the hex in the rear with no modification or removal of the blue wheel spacer or roll pin. just slide on the associated 12mm front hex adapter over your axle and roll pin, lock down, and you're good to go. (source: 'mekios')
Hot Bodies 12mm REAR wheel hex adapter mod. great tip from 'julius_makewar': "I have used the HB pin and not the Yokomo roll pin. The HB Hex has a .75mm or thereabouts, step on the inside face (possibly designed to run against the inner race on HB cars) which is flush against the Yokomo axle spacer. The pin is not fully bottomed out in the Hex groove but it is completely covered by the hex and should be well enough engaged and secure to not cause an issue. I have used these hexes on my Tamiya TRF201 in a similar way for some time with no ill effect. ... There is 1mm of thread protruding past the wheel nut." MORE INSTALL PICTURES

Removing side to side play on your front wheels. adding a 8x10mm shim (from yokomo, kyosho, tamiya or calandra) within the wheel, before mounting your bearing, will eliminate your play.

Great tip from 'janus_77' for modding your shock bottom caps and adding the appropriate collars and shims. this will further reduce shock shaft movement and bleeding issues. which in the long run will reduce shock rebuilds. yokomo has taken notice of this issue and has released their new revised shock bottom caps and collars for the "X" type Version II shocks. part # B2-S4B1.

YZ-2 / B-MAX2 MR Cross Fitting Parts:
Great tip from 'WillS' quoting:
"For everyones information books... YZ-2 front pieces fit the Bmax2 and make it the same width as stock. This will allow for 25/27/30 caster, spindle height and options of flat/gullwings [arms]. There is also no need to for a bump spacer and it provides more ackerman for low speed steering."

The RS and MR bodies are actually the same, there are only different cutting lines for mid and rear motor set-up. All kinds of 2S batteries can be used for rear motor. If you want to use a full-size LiPo for mid, you'll just have to use a low-profile servo, but I think saddles are the way to go for the mid-motor car.
So far, Naoto took TQ and the first final in the 2nd round of the EOS in Langenfeld, Jörn Neumann's hometown - and Naoto is racing off-road on carpet for the first time ...

As mes stated you can use full size lipos in the mid-motor configuration. I just spent the day building the MR and overall I would say the build went pretty well. The main concern I had was the flawing on the plastic parts especially on the shock parts. The A,B and C spacers for the cartridge and the shock pistons themselves.
I have run the 22 and B4.1 and as far as assembly i would say it is generally about the same. The shocks feel butter smooth and the diff feels really good. Should have some detailed pictures on Monday at AMainHobbies.com showing more detailed shots of the rear motor setup.
Car feels sturdy yet light, can't wait to get it on the track!
