unsure but dont think you can set slipper on b44.1/.2 that way or any other 4x4 buggy 2-3 feet slipp then traction is pretty much standard

You absolutely can set the slipper like that on a 4wd buggy... Just gotta be more careful doing it as the car will have much more forward momentum vs a 2wd. I look for the slipping sound and how aggressive the car lurches forward when setting the slipper on my pit mat.

Just wanted to share with everyone.

WB posted a link earlier about the Azarashi "Grey Seal" conversion and I am happy to announce that my friend Bill Cline of Cline hobbies (US Importer for Team Azarashi) is taking pre-orders for the GreySeal kit.

If you are interested, and want to save on some shipping, contact him thru the above link to pre-order one. I myself plan to order one along with a few spares.

Could be a fun alternative to the B44/44.1 platform. Everything bolts on, just converts it from a saddle style pack into a shorty pack.

hey guys a buddie of mine has a b44.1 and just bought a 6.5t motor for it, he needs to know what pinion that he needs.. thanks in advance!!

Start with an 18 and go up or down from there (with the stock spur of course).

Thanks! also does it have to be a certian pitch or like a M1 or anything?

while i was doing some service on the 44.1 i came to realize i had the wrong spring cups on the fronts,another senior moment,lol

Std 48p pinions. I prefer Robinson.


Momo

Standard 48 pitch.

Awesome. should be rockin and rollin now!

I looked at the setup sheets on RC10.com under B44.1 and Cavaliari used 18 / 81 gearing and others used 20/81 gearset with 6.5t motors.

Find a setup sheet that matches your track conditions and go from there.

I know this a race buggy but i had to make this question: ( i do not race on tracks and i do not will bash this to death).... only speed racing and total freak speed runs!

-Does anyone know's if there is a aftermarket chassis that can fit 4s lipos or more onto this?
The story of having only sadle packs 7.4v is bugging me....i am a speed freak junkie and got this b44.1 roller about 2 years ago (cheap) but being only 7.4v i never made it happen!

I know,that will make handlig just a little worst, but it's not so bad...(don't race on tracks) and after all almost all buggys 1/8 have batery on one side and motors/servo on the other!

Thanks, let me know!
And never heard of 14.8v saddle packs.... in my brain i could make 4 saddle packs to achieve 14.8v... but i had to cut the body...(not a problem) lol

But i am not the only one, because i saw some months ago on the web, some mods for it....but not sadle packs, but it seemed to wild and crazy to be real...(reasonable) lol


Crap, i don't like maxamps baterys but saw this today:
http://www.maxamps.com/Lipo-4000-111-Saddle.htm

yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, 11.1v is good enoug for me for the b44.1 so happy now! GRRRRRRR maxamps, vomite, but is better then nothing!

What offset is on b44.1 original rims with hex adapters?

I got an 1/10 buggy tire and rims, but on the back they don't fit... the nut does not goe all the way in... maybe an wrong offset?

-Done, read somewhere it was the dogbone shaft that is bigger on the inside, taked a look and yes! Shave a little on the rim hole, and this fits now!

What's a good size motor for bashing? I'm thinking 8.5T?
