This is the Yokomo B-MAX2 MR 1/10 Scale 2WD Competition Electric Buggy Kit. After a successful 2011 and 2012 race season, Yokomo gives us the latest evolution of the B-MAX2 buggy now equipped with the ability to run a rear or mid-motor configuration. While the traditional three gear rear-motor transmission is better suited for dirt off-road surfaces, the four gear mid-motor configuration has shown to improve corning speed and drivability on high grip surfaces like carpet and turf.

The B-MAX2 MR also features a redesigned molded chassis developed for modern LiPo batteries, brushless motors and the dual motor configuration. The chassis is long for stability while remaining slim keeping weight in the center line. In the front end, the B-MAX2 MR has been engineered with the ability to run a wide or slim track to suit nearly any condition, with the necessary parts included in the kit. On all four corners, Big Bore “X” shocks cushion the jumps while ball bearings and tungsten differential balls ensure a smooth drivetrain.

• Redesigned ball differential with tungsten balls
