B-Max4 Factory from Osaka !

Just completed my new toy - BMax4 Factory kit which I bought from Osaka.

Build quality and optional parts come with the kit are great, value for $$.

I moved the Futaba 9450 servo from my BD and plan to use Sanwa 451 rx and LRP SXX TC-Spec with a Team Power 8.5R motor !

The kit also come with 3 different wings for downforce adjustment and full set of rims, inserts and tires. Drive train has a bit of click sound which I believe it will go away after initial run-in. Yokomo has more than 25 years of experience of making 4WD buggy, what can be wrong ?

Kyosho RB5

Just completed my RB5 and it will be ready to run on boxing day if weather allows.

It is all stock from the box, with a set of JConcepts front and rear green dot tires. It is equipped with a Futaba 9450, Sanwa 2.4GHz rx, Hobbywing 120A sensored ESC and SpeedPassion v3 11.5R motor (different than the one in the picture which is a Team Power 8.5R).

First time for me to use brushless system on 2WD buggy, I plan to start with final gear ratio 7.51.

Photon first run !

I bought the kit date back to June but only managed to complete the build and setup over last week. First test run today with LRP SXX and Speed Passion 11.5R. Final gear ratio at 5.13 with a Protoform LCR body shell. Overall very stable car but I would need a bit more aggressiveness especially on stock class. Will need to tune a bit more in the next few weeks time.

Quality of the kit is good and I enjoy the test run today !
