?!?!
pics? links?

I do have a suggestion for a new part for the b44. An aluminum or carbon fiber or reinforced version of the rear chassis plate (9726). The problem is this piece flexes & causes the lower transmision case (9733) to crack at the front mounting screws.

Yeah, I have seen a bunch of people in the 44.2 thread with cva's popping out and other issues because the lower rear diff case broke and they didn't know it cuz it's so hidden.

So far no issues for me, but I would throw a strengthened part in to avoid a future issue. And if I added in the JC wing mount I could probably run 1/4 ballast for my setup instead of 1/2 and have the same tune with more strength

It's not a huge issue, but all it takes is landing rear 1st & bottoming once & the case is cracked. I broke a couple of them in quick succession when I 1st got the buggy. Now I go to lengths to try to land nose slightly down & no real problems since. It would be AWEFULLY nice to have that piece of mind though.

Any word on the Silencer bodies for e-buggys?

Or does anyone know if the Silencer bodies for the Mugen nitro will fit the Mugen eco's? I know most nitro bodies are a tight fit around the battery on an e-buggy but the shape of the Silencer looks like it would be a real close fit.

I fixed that problem already. Leave the front screws out on the bottom of the chassis and I just put a couple dabs of silicone in the bottom of the diff case. No problems since and I've had a hard landing or 2 so far.
