i recently bought Extreme Racing 4mm towers for front and rear.
they're quite thick and look like they can take some abuse.
practiced about 4 days with them and so far so good after some pretty bad crashes.
the only thing is finding them in stock...not sure if they make them anymore.
i had to get them in the camouflage pattern because i couldn't find the normal black carbon fibre anywhere.

AMain has em all in stock.

Is the stock AE one not 4mm ? Looks the same to me as the front AE shock tower, which I know is now 4mm with the .1 kit.

YeA i think stock is 4mm fr 3mm rear, iv only broke the rears though, but i replaced both just to be safe and they have survived some bad crashes so far

It's 3mm front and rear for the .1 kit.

Team Associated's page for the .1 kit says otherwise.

"New Heavy Duty 3.5mm thick carbon-fiber front shock tower"

So I guess that means the stock AE rear is most likely only 3mm.

Losi spring cup set $7.29 tlr5095
Traxxas collars $5.58 tra3768
Losi springs front $4.59 part # depends on color Blue tlr5176
Losi springs rear $4.59 part # depends on color yellow tlr5167

I prefer the losi shock bottoms, better quality and fit than the traxxas, but you could save another 7.29 by using only the traxxas parts.

I also take it one step further and use the losi shock eyelets that come with the Losi kit. They seem a little more durable than the AE ones and obviously fit the Losi bottom cups perfectly.

If anyone is selling please let me know.

Does the steering rack on the sc10,b4 and t4 fit the b44.1

no it does not fit

First, thank you for the response

Does the Losi spring cup set include the shock bottoms or is it a separate item?

Also, what oil weight are people using? Im running 35 in front and 30 in rear with stock setup now, how big a difference will it make when I swap to BB springs?

Losi spring cups and shock bottoms come together.

Still working on the set up. Cant comment on the difference or the oil. The fact that the bb springs dont rub the shock bodies is worth the price of admission for me. I can tell you the bb springs did wonders for my b4.1 worlds. Stable, more predictable, less hopping and wandering. Very happy with the outcome.

Hallo,

I'm new registrated in this forum.
I just have bougth an old b44, with quite a view FT parts and updates on it.
Is it worth to upgrade to the FT shocks, or do you think, ther will comming soon new BBs from AE, or even a new B44.2?
I reasambled the car now for a rebuild?

PS.: sorry for my bad english, ist quit a long time ago, that i spoke or wrote...

Excellent.

I'll be setting these up on both my B44.1 and my B4.1.

I'll post what I think from my limited experience overall.

Can anyone tell me where i can get the alloy steering rack from for my 44.1, i had a look on the strc site and they only have them for the sc10,b4 and t4 i can't find it anywhere.

You can run BB spring kits liek the people here are. BUt ASSociated is working on a BB kit fo rall there 1/10th scale. When will release who knows.

You should have Version 1 Factory shocks on there, IF you want the newer ones, Should onyl be a shock body change. OR a fewpages back, a member is running Yokomo BB shocks, and a link to where he got them.
