Specially designed for the use with the Yokomo B-Max2 are these aluminium servo arms from Arrowmax. The levers come machined from 7075-T6 aluminium and offer more rigidity compared to the kit’s composite parts for a more rigid and precise steering action. The blue anodising of the arms, that are available for 23T, 24T and 25T spline servos, also adds to the overall appearance of the buggy.
