Wrong, B44 arms are stiffer then B4.1 arms. Different material.

Cool thanks,
why would running a stiffer arm be better?

This is what you're looking for.

You can adjust the amount of traction with the stiffness of the arms...just a fine tuning tool.

Carbon B4 stiffest and best for very high traction conditions

B4.1 Softer then carbon best for med traction

B44.1 softest , best for low traction



I have had those in the know claim different ....

Not a 100% answer , sorry ..
personally use B44.1 arms on low traction.



Some of the confusion is B44.1 arms use to be made of the original B4 plastic.

They have now switched to the the B4.1 plastic a while ago ...

Still, examine the two arms and notice the B44.1 arm is thinner & trimmer ..

b44.1 rears are stiffer than the b4.1 arms.

I only felt a diff when the car was all carbon, well...arms, u brace, nose plate and rack. Right now I'm running the carbon rack, nose, and rear arm and my car feels the same as it did with plastic. Maybe a little more reactive....maybe.

Not around here at TRCR .....

also not arguing with respectfully


Everyone of our Ae team drivers* ?
Switched & use the B44.1 arm for our slippery brand new layout last week...


*me too


Now only wondering when to go back to B4.1 & the carbon later yet

Maybe its the humid weather in washington.. it changes the molecular structure of the plastic

We haven't had rain in over a month!

Not typical tho... We have a 1 month summer... It's called august. Haha

Dont the team drivers always run the b44 rear arms? High bite, low bite? Maybe not blue groove though. I would assume carbon would be best.

for the most part, yes.

I searched, but I am not sure I found the answer to my question...

If you convert to big bore springs, does this take away some of the "slap" from big jumps? Or does this merely take away the rubbing of the springs on the shock bodies?

Thanks,
JB

IMO, wouldn't say it takes away the slap but there's definitely less progressive feel of the springs. Sounds like a setup issue for the track...
