No extra information you didn’t know already, but you can now look at the final car which is about to hit the market.
Yokomo have released details of their new B-Max4 II 1:10 4wd off road buggy kit. Available in 2 versions the standard kit only comes with the new cab forward body shell for more steering while the Factory 2011 version additionally comes supplied with a whole host of option parts as standard. It comes with a LiPo compatible main chassis, motor mount with bigger range of adjustment, c-clip universal drive shafts, carbide diff balls, lightweight diff joints and hex head screws throughout. Both are available at the end of this month.
One of the unusual features of THE Car by JQ Products is its centre differential, which has 8mm of front/rear adjustment in the chassis which can have a significant effect on handling. The standard kit comes with central to weight forward transmission components, ideal for tight, technical stop/start type tracks. If the full extent of its weight-back set up is required, usually for fast open tracks, then the optional weight back centre shafts must be used. The set includes the 90mm and 104mm option weight back dogbone centre shafts.
