The RCShox GAROdiscs do not wear and do not glaze. They also hold your setting, the car will perform the same from start to finish. You also dont have to sand them.
They feel more like torque control than anything else. you can run them extremely loose and still make every jump.
Check em out!

I ran them in my sc10 4x4 for several months, then in my Durango and now I put them in my b44.1 I'm talking about the same set of pads! They don't show any wear and work as well now as when new. If my SC 10 couldn't cook them I think they are pretty tough.

Standard AE pads are $6-$7. So for two and a half times the price you get something that may never need replacing for as long as you have the buggy? That plus the constancy is worth it to me. They don't fade even on a high bite track where they are working hard. The only reason I have to adjust them is if the track conditions change and I want more or less slip. I almost bought the avid slipper but didn't see any advantage over the stock setup with Garodisks.

Hey guys looking for a little insight. I currently have the original B44. Its getting a little long in the tooth so I'm thinking about a new wheeler. Looking at a couple different brands but mainly wanting to know how much of a difference a guy will see going from the old 44 to the new .1, what does the newer car do better or worse than the old one ect....

I have thought about other kits to but I have stuck with the B44 line. The .1 is definitely more bang for the buck. It comes with all the necessary upgrades the chassis centers every thing better and moves the servo forward. The chassis is stiffer. Front shock tower is thicker and the rear hubs are aluminum with more camber length options. Better shocks to. It handles better but not far off from the old 44. Less chassis flex is the biggest difference in the feel of the kit.

Standard parts to stock are the same. Front A-arms eyelets, caps and front shock shafts. Really the only parts I ever need.
