Nice find. I raced my MR4-BX for the last 2 years but have just dumped it as my racer in favour of an X5. The BX either works & is totally dialled, or it's a pig to drive and you spend all day chasing a working setup. In it's favour, once you beef up the front & rear shock towers, it's the strongest 4WD out there, just make sure you seal up the rear diff (or be prepared to replace balls & plates every month).
Neil Cragg dropped his at the end of last year in favour of the B-Max and instantly improved! Bet Yokomo weren't happy about that.

I wanted something that everyone else did not have at the track(Prob not a good idea when i need spares) everyone else has the B44 so I thought this would be nice to try. It sure looks cool. I need to get an under tray and a set of saddle pack lipo's and I can give it a run.

If you need any advice on setups, give me a shout and I'll try and help, assuming the surface of your local track is similar to anything over here. First thing I'd suggest is flip the rear camberlinks upside down (you need to space the C/F plate upwards and file it to clear the links at full jounce). The standard car's rear roll centre is way out. Perfect for low grip but a b***h to drive on high grip. The car was designed for the dusty/bumpy Italian worlds track.....

Beautiful ride! I would love one of those but nobody around here stocks any parts for them.
I miss the days of Team Associated distributing Yokomo!
