I've been running the foam for about two months and the stock screws slots are fine still and no slap on the 1/8th scale track and thats where i mostly run i figured i'd put it up here since i hear this problem all the time but it is deff a great lil trick

getting a couple BJ4 buggies, and was told the parts are interchangeable with the B44.

is this correct?

They will be used in our kids rc program, and really don't want to have to try and source parts.

Thanks

For the most part the parts are not interchangeable.! They have small differences that make it difficult to make them fit. The only things I remember that direct fit are, shocks, rear hubs. The major parts and the stuff that breaks regularly do not transfer over.

Don't rely on the parts being interchangeable. B44 parts aren't carried quite as widely or deeply in stock too compared to a B4.

I have a few extra sets of the tlr 22 front rims and i was wondering if they would fit my B44.1? (i know the hexes will but has anyone tried them for the offset)
thanks
JT

For what i read they will fit, but don't know abou the offset to!!
anyone?

Anyone have a good carpet set up. Everythin I see is for turf.

Thanks.

Can't wait for the Jconcepts wing mount to be released......

Guys a need to know if any parts are needed to fit kyosho bb springs , are the AE collars big enough?

Cheers
Chad

Hi,

You need big bore collars and spring cups for the BB springs on the AE shocks,

Something like this:


GHEA 2070 BB spring collars.

Or the Avid versions:

For spring cups the Losi 22 or the Durango BB spring cups fit.

so here is the deal. my 44.1 is still a virgin. getting everything else i need for it to run this weekend. i hear alot of yall talkin about extra shims on the tranny's. shol i just get some more shims and do it before i run it for less headaches or what? thanks in advance

i havent had any issues w/ the stock shim setup. but a pack of shims is good to have for sure.

Buy the shims now and make sure there is NO side to side play / movement of the outdrives, especially the rear gearbox. If It's not shimmed right, you ruin the bevel gear and need to replace it. Pick up an extra bevel gear set too in case.

yes, always have 2 gearsets handy in your pitbox

I've found 2 shims one the side as the manual suggest, and 6 shims on the bevel gear side (instead of 4) worked best for me. Have the gear mesh be tighter rather than looser if in doubt, otherwise you'll strip the gears. I went through a few gear sets myself figuring this out
