New to off road and wanted to know what spare parts should i keep on hand for this B44 i just got. Any info is greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Can you drive, and how hot of a motor are you running?

If you can't stay off the pipes, or stop hitting things, then stock up on front arms and shock shafts. You'll want a few rear diff gear sets as well if this is your first 44. Pay special attention to how you shim the diffs, but they will wear over time.

I'm new to the B44.1 as well with about 4 years racing experience, but that racing was nearly 20 years ago.

I've run my B44.1 about 5 long practice days now, and it has had some rougher crashes off jumps and even cartwheeling. The only thing that I have broken is a front arm.

Before running, the first thing you want to do, is check if you have any side to side play with your outdrives from the gearboxes. If you do, break them down and add shims as necessary. Any extra wiggle there will cause the gears in the gearbox to have play and not mesh well, and you will strip the gears.

Spare front arms and shock shafts, shock ends, shock caps and a spare diff gear set. I've had a b44 from the original release and the only other part I broke was a rear shock tower. Also I don't use any set screws on the cvd's. Just use a dab of CA on the retainer rings.

A solution to that is to replace the banana plugs on the harness with a good bullet like castles. That is cause by insufficient transfer which causes heat, I run a losi harness on all my regular packs and swapped the bullets on my saddles.

thought i'd share some pics and info about some big bore shocks for the b44.1. anyway i ordered some yokomo b-max 4 big bores. went on perfectly with no mods at all. they're the exact same length as the v2 shocks and don't rub anywhere they're not suppose to. i guess the real test will be this weekend to see how they preform...
