The only things you really need from the 44.1 are the bleeder caps and the v2 slipper pads and slipper spring. There is a huge improvement in slipper consistency with the new pads and spring on both...

I'm of the opinion that tuning out steering responsiveness is a cop-out. you want that thing to do what you want immediately -- the rest is just learning to control it better at the radio.

I've never had issues with my savox servos, but I have seen others. It's not the servo, it's the BEC paired with a servo like the savox that can put a big demand on the BEC, and its generally on...

The HV servos are "high voltage" servos. That means they (and their ratings) are for 2s (two cell) 7.4 lipo receiver packs -- meaning used in a nitro car like my 1/8 scale buggy. In 1/10 scale,...

Wow dude. You don't need anything like that. The important part is to get a coreless or brushless so it responds quick to input. Second to that is speed and strength. Some folks swear by .10 or...

In general, the thing that makes sounds in a b44 first is the front CVs. Rebuild them and it goes away. Do a cursory check of all the bearings as well. Worn out front CVs are easy to rebuild and...

I run an 8.5 in the b4, and a 7.5 in my b44, and that is perfect for a small indoor track. If you're track is larger, definitely 6.5 in the 4wd. When I'm at a larger track, the 7.5 is a little...

I would suggest that, if you crash enough to keep breaking front shock shafts, that you dremel a small slit in the back of the plastic eyelet so it breaks there instead of the shaft.
