Team Associated B44 is for REAL
#1501
I know it's been said on here a bunch of times, but wow, this is the nicest car!! I think we all realize this as we all put them together. It's like angels are singing in the background or something.
Are all the Associated cars like this? Specifically the T4? I have a Losi xxx-t cr and thinking about switching teams after this B44 build. Just super stoked about this car!!

The only one-way that should work is the associated NTC3 one-way. I have one for my bj4 and it should work from what I have seen. The TC3 one-way is not wide enough. If you get the one-way you may want to get the springs that go in them from J concepts to keep the outdrive in place better. I painted the outdrives red to be able to find them since the front arms would break on the BJ and the outdrives would get lost on the track.

Compared to the Tamiya 501x, the B44 was very easy to arrange electronics. I fitted the max amps 4400 pack. Put the blue thumbscrews on a long screw then screwed it all the way to the posts, then adjusted the thumb S. to tighten strap. I added weight to the chassis between the packs.

As for servo, I used an Airtronics xx359 analog I had for a spare and it is more than enough. Works extremely well.

Has anyone tried different gearing yet?
Im running the 6.5 with the 19 tooth just like the manual suggests. Has anyone had any luck trying anything else.

I have gone as high as 22T / 81T on the B44 with a 6.5 sintered rotor. On large outdoor track. Motor temp was 150 after 15 minutes of run time.
One thing I would call it...
Stupid fast. Still had great aceleration it just had way more top end than a 19T.

I think I need to remount my elecs. I seen someone have the rx behind the motor and the esc behind the servo. I never thought about running it that way. Sure would make it a lot cleaner and easier to route the wires. I think the manual shows it like I put it in, the rx behind the servo, and the esc behind the motor.
The only question I have with this rx behind motor install, would that cause glitching because of the rfs from the motor?
Thanks

The way the book has the electrics. It makes the car 6 oz heavier on the right then the left. If you put just the receiver on the right it will only be 1.7 oz heavier on the right. I ran mine both ways. I couldn't tell a difference in the way the car handled. But then I'm old(47). But I did like the wiring better. The B44 RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
