Tamiya Mini4WD: Let's Talk About - "B-Max"

[@muhdsazlly4510]

Its been ten years I didnt race mini 4wd. Your video literally help me to play compentative again. Gonna setup my first mini 4wd again for the upcoming tournament. Thanks bro! 👍

[@yusrydeluna]

Welcome back. 10 years ago i think the players were very secretive about their setups. Nowadays just approach any friendly looking racer and they'll be happy to share tips and tricks with you.

[@Ariautoace]

Fooh! Best lah! I am a Singaporean living in the Philippines and started back all this 4x4 stuff. So nice to have it in English! Power lah!

[@benson556]

I'm learning lots with your video. I'm a beginner and this is a really good start. keep up the good work!

[@yusrydeluna]

Do ask questions if you have any and i will try my best to respond. Enjoy your mini4wd journey!

[@ianparish5011]

Awesome Video. I’m just getting into this. I had a different version growing up but this is awesome.

[@yusrydeluna]

Ikr. I came from a different era too however this game pretty much evolved alot over the years. Its also why I decided to come back into this hobby and be really interested in it.

[@ianparish5011]

@@yusrydeluna Me too I’m into other hobby’s but they’re so costly anymore and I can 3d print decent tracks. Not like the original track quality but at least I can build a cost affective track and get back into it.

[@DaisoOne]

It’s been 26 years or more since i last touched a Tamiya.. I work in a school and they started experimenting with the Tamiya’s for the robotics club and got a track.. recently staff stArted to get back into it as well lol.. but I’m not familiar with the classes this video was an eye opener for me .. thanks for that bro! so now I know I’ll be building a b-max class car .. don’t remember there being so many chassis back in the 90’s ..

[@yusrydeluna]

yes. times have definitely changed. welcome back to mini4wd!

[@Blueprince]

Thanks for this video very infomative

[@teohweekeatsamteoh775]

@Yusry thanks for the video, it look like Ian very nervous 🤭. Do remember all racers no sand paper for the chassis and no drilling for chassis as well.

[@yusrydeluna]

No sanding, yes. But chamfering of the plate is allowed. Drilling cowls to lighten and replace with mesh is also allowed. Lightening of chassis is not allowed.

[@twilite1701]

Thanks guys. I just started to learn more deeply about tamiya 4wd. Very helpful for almost zero knowledge like me. One question: we need to use all original tamiya brands for tournaments, even for batteries and fpr right?

[@yusrydeluna]

Local races usually would allow some aftermarket parts, see my other video on why is that so. As for motors, almost all races only allow original motors (with some restrictions). For batteries, always consult the organisers on which batteries can be used.

are aluminum bumpers and aluminum rollers allowed on bmax?

[@yusrydeluna]

Yes. As long as they're unprocessed (no cutting etc) they are allowed.

[@kikirimpiwify]

Last time i had one was i was in highschool a Boomerang 10, I would really want to relive those times , any advice on it or am i too late?

[@yusrydeluna]

why not? i have lots of old collections myself. now that we're older (and have our own money), buy to your heart's content! =D

[@KyotoSaber]

Quite disappointed there's no bmax comp here in malaysia, only once at DYS but that's 1st and last.. been searching for it but none..

[@yusrydeluna]

I think its not a very popular format in Malaysia.

Terima kasih boskur for the video. Banyak info boleh dipelajari. Kalau for bmax, is there any limit for number of frps used? and if we wanna stick two frps say 1.5mm together, do we need to glue them? tq🙏

Are angle plates still allowed? For BMAX

[@yusrydeluna]

if it's Tamiya produced parts, yes. If its a sanded custom part, no.

[@ItsMarls2000]

What is the 4wd speed categories?

[@yusrydeluna]

I don't get your question?

[@louiebanal6421]

What rechargeable battery brand and battery capacity do you use?

[@yusrydeluna]

Preferred: Tamiya Neochamps (typical 1000mah) Alternative: Fujitsu (Pink, typical 1000mah) These are the 2 I generally use. For capacity more than 1000mah e.g. 2000mah or 2500mah, they generally weigh more (and sometimes physically longer, making it difficult to fit in the chassis). Your milage may vary. Is it ok to use? Sure, if the race allows them (as always, check with the race officials).

[@louiebanal6421]

@@yusrydeluna thank you bro

[@mini4dailytech982]

Does ir have to be side dampered or can you use lanterns if you can build one without cutting?

[@yusrydeluna]

Lantern still have to come from side damper, meaning you can raise from the side, extend forward, then drop the damper like a lantern. If u do lanterns from across chassis (like doing body damper style) those are not allowed. If you extend from middle chassis to side, this is ok, the only chassis that can probably do this is MS.

[@teamsglmini4wd359]

Nice

[@louiebanal6421]

What's the best tires to use for bmax set up? Small or medium. Hard or super hard?

[@yusrydeluna]

I prefer small. Lower CG. Prefer superhard (over hard), less grip makes more cornering speed and lower jumps. However, tires selection is not always foolproof so you have to make the necessary adjustments based on the track layout.

Just bring your car. First timers cheaper. Ask the racers there for help if you need. Our local community is very friendly.

Sliding damper are allow on bmax ?

[@yusrydeluna]

yes allowed. use the tamiya sliding damper set i.e. 15467 / 15469

[@BayuSanjaya]

I'm surprised that you do not recommend SuperFM carbon chassis,. Well at least that's my preference.

[@yusrydeluna]

I do not like to use older chassis. That's just my preference.

[@pemudabesok6546]

S2 also good for bmax

[@yusrydeluna]

I don't agree nor disagree. I think play what you feel comfortable with.

[@greikcell1845]

Can i use MS CHASSIS for BMAX ? and can i install side mass damper under the CHASSIS?

[@yusrydeluna]

any chassis allowed for bmax. including old chassis like super1, superx, fm,, etc. no restrictions on what chassis you want to use. also installing side mass damper under chassis is allowed, as long 1mm clearance is observed as usual.

[@user-vp7uz5hl3x]

Bmax ni perlu full original Tamiya part? Atau boleh imi

[@yusrydeluna]

mengikut peraturan tempatan. biasanya imi boleh digunakan tetapi harus ikot ori tamiya spec.

Is power dash motor allowed in bmax?

Allowed. Ultra and plasma not allowed.

Is countersunk allowed?

[@yusrydeluna]

Countersunk, yes... also trimming to bodyshells thats allowed includes: converting to FM, modifying to fit into chassis, clearance for dampers movement, and lightening of bodyshell (must install with mesh) is also allowed.

@@yusrydeluna thank you for the information are old zero chassis still allowed?

[@yusrydeluna]

All chassis allowed however i don't know why you want to use zero chassis though. Understand you may come from that era, but there are other chassis that has improved over the years. I recommend u try super-2 as thats quite popular for b-max also.

Walaupun saya dari malaysia…but saya lebihpreffer kelas damper style yang ada kat indo..seronok kelas dorang…enjin dia orang pun bebas…lagi satu yg indah nya damper style dorang ni…dorang punya kereta main lompat jauh sebab kereta dorang brakeless…memang gila2 dorang punya gameplay…baru mencabar

[@yusrydeluna]

Setuju. Cuma kelas B-Max berasal dari Jepang tujuan untuk memberi kesempatan kepada pemula untuk berjinak dalam hobi dan dapat bersaing dalam lumba bersama-sama. Untuk kelas lain seperti Side Damper keluaran dari Indonesia itu terpulang kepada lokasi masing-masing. Tidak ada dalil kelas ini lebih indah dari kelas yang lain, mahupun dari kelas stock hingga lah kelas open.

[@bijachannel3490]

ayos po idol

[@dragusyosepmatondang4026]

actually this class is too biased with indonesia damper class. maybe there should be a fixed setting from tamiya

[@yusrydeluna]

This is not an official class from Tamiya. You need to know how this class came about from Force Labo (a team based in Japan). They clearly introduced this class to separate extreme modifications (open class) to almost no modifications (b-max class). For Indonesia side damper class, trimming is allowed, in which B-Max doesn't allow. If I have a newbie who doesn't have any friends and doesn't have any skill in mods, B-max class will appeal as they can start somewhere while enjoying the hobby. That's how I think about the B-max class.
