Arrowmax B-Max 4 III CF chassis plate

Arrowmax have released a new carbon fibre chassis plate for the popular Yokomo B-Max 4 III. A direct replacement for the standard chassis it has been created to create more flex for low bite tracks and weights only 66g, instead of the original plate weight of 127g. Arrowmax have used a special Q-grade multi-directional carbon fibre, which generates more transverse stiffness compared to most other carbon fibre plates. A special honeycomb cooling area under the motor improves the airflow for lower motor temperatures.
