Looks pretty good but until i see/hear about it being the "best thing ever" i think ill keep my rear mount for now.
Dont like the look of the undertray, even though it is prototype looking. Prefer the sleek look the car has now.

Cheers

If you are only running on low bite dirt tracks, stick to the rear motor orignal. For me, it will be nice to have both cars as half of the tracks in our regional series are dirt and the other half is astroturf. I am also looking forward to racing the new car indoors.

i'm still wondering if this will be a whole kit, or a conversion for your bmax2. lets hope that yokomo has more up their sleeves for the bmax2. would be pretty cool to see a truck from this platform too. wouldn't take much tweaking to turn it into a truck.

I wonder if a full size lipo will fit in the mid car? My understanding is that a full size lipo must fit in order for the car to be legal.

All lipo packs (stick, saddle and shorty) can be used with this new chassis ...

Do yo need a low-profile servo to use full-size stick packs? Not that I care, as I have got Sanwa SDX-801s in both B-Maxes and will use saddle packs, but it seems to be important for many others.

Hoping AMAIN put this into stock, as I have an order in cart ready to go. Looks the goods, sad thing is, I only just bought a new body for it 2 weeks ago, the kit style one dammit.

Situation might be the same when I get a Finnisher and the Azarashi shell is released the day after...
Currently, the Yokomo kami are smiling on me: I contemplate to order the Blaze conversion, and just few days afterwards Sylvain shows up with the prototype pics; only yesterday I was a mouse click away from ordering the kit shell, and JC announce the Finnisher... I wonder what I should contemplate next!
