Noooo, too soft. I made that mistake, running red, and then orange and white, was horrible.

Blue front, yellow rear worked great for me on the same type of track. i ran 35 wt losi oil w/#1 piston in front, and 32.5 wt losi oil w/#2 piston in the rear. Car was dialed, jumped perfect. The bb springs absobed some of the impact on landings, much more controllable.

I took the rear apart and didn't see any strip gears or anything but there were only 5 thrust balls so maybe that was tw problem.... What could it be in the diff makeing a loud clicking noise and it would not move anywhere I mean it moves but it was like the slipper was real loose. Does associated just sell a whole diff?

OK, is that with just the Losi springs, or the entire Losi BB shock setup? I hope I was clear, that I want to find out what springs people are running with the BB shocks.

look at the gears there may be something in one of them,start putting it back together one diff at a time and then spin them slowly to find it

My mistake. I was referring to the bb springs with the v2's. I still think red and white would be too soft with the Losi bb shocks on a 44. The b44 is noticably heavier than the 22. I am lifting them both as we speak. 44 is heavier. I ran red and white in my 22 with a shorty pack. Border line too soft even for the 22. Depending on the track of course.

The big bore shock spring upgrade is a worthy investment...the car is more forgiving with them. I don't run the ballast...just a square or two of the AE 7gram weight between the saddles.
