thats weird they shouldnt. one way to fix it is to put a few limiters in the shocks so that the arms cant drop down as far
#6137
it would be best to take some pictures and show us so we can see what the problem is...
so some sitting on the table, some with the arm down and the cvd ready to come out.

You can also try all the small shims on the CVA on the inside, it will move the bone further up into the diff outdrive.

I tried looking it up in the manual, but the manual doesn't talk about two sets of holes. This may or may not be the problem, but I thought it is worth a shot. If there are two sets of holes then it is definitely the problem.
Good luck.

Just about done with my B44.1 build . Ran in to an issue while installing the motor . My 18 tooth pinion does not reach the 81 tooth kit spur gear . I pushed the motor in all the way and I have about a 1mm gap between the pinion and spur . What is up ? Do you need a specific brand of pinion to run with this buggy ? I think I have a Robinson Racing pinion .
Perhaps I installed the motor mount cam the wrong way ? But it only seems to slide in one way so I am pretty sure that is not the problem . What is the little set screw for ? Got to be honest , not to sure about how this motor mount works . What is to keep the motor for sliding back and forth after you set the mesh ?
I am running a 8.5 Turn Novak Motor so I though 18 /81 would be a good start for gearing ? Any thoughts or suggestions on that ?

I have noticed alot of people at my local track not liking the v2 shocks I am not sure of this is already on this tread but on the stock b44 shocks if u take the big spacer in-between the two o rings and sand it down .004 of an inch it makes them a hell of alot smoother
#6143
V2 shock guys/gals....What some of us have doing is using the white spacers that come with the old rebuild kit(#6440). They are thinner and give the orings MORE room to "swell" so they work/feel smoother.

I use V2 on the 2wd B4.1 and didn't pay attention of they are smooth or not. There is no stiction so I figured they were good.
Same for my old B44 as well with the original shocks. Nice tip though. I'll keep that in mind. I refreshed the 4wd shocks last night and they seemed pretty good for a 4yr old car. LoL.

I used 2 of the thin spacers in between the orings instead of the bigger white one in the old shocks...actually, i still do. They feel smoother for a longer time for sure.

I have toy'ed with shock building methods forever. You name it I have tried it. I found that the more they swell the worse the shock felt. I run mine about 4-6 weeks and then put in new seals. The more they swell the more resistance I felt. They just felt flat or slow like there was a suction or some thing. The seal is better but if you build the stock building method they only leak a bit at first. I top them off every race day after practice no matter what and bleed them, and man can you feel a difference just from practice to racing the suspension really reacts.
This rebuild I am going to try the white shim and see what happens. I will calibrate it. I have heard they are the same length? I will get back on this. Its new seal week for me. Matter of fact its diff week to. 4-6 on that to.
BTW I was swapping set ups on shocks last night at practice. The fella I was talking with uses the V2 cap with the old shock body. He leaves the top thin shim out when he does his shocks. He said it was smoother. I never had any luck with that unless I pre-soaked the rings. It leaks to much at first if I didn't.

Edit I found my shims (Middle) 3.2 mm. Sound like to much?
