I own a Tekin Redline 5.5 motor I have been running in my B44 for 2 years now. Today I installed the B44 cam style motor mount, and noticed a problem. The holes on the Tekin motor are spaced about .5mm further apart than the Orion and Trinity Duo 2 motors I own. As a result the motor cam for the B44 will not fit the Tekin motor, however it will fit the other two motors I own. Anyone else have this issue? Any info will help.

Hrmm, I'm running my Tekin 6.5 in my B44.1

My Tekin 7.5 fits without issue.

Here's what I have, notice the alignment on the screw holes with just one screw in. Weird, eh?

Had a Tekin 10.5 that had the screw holes at an angle. Tekin replaced the end cap/bearing free of charge.

Hey Gregg,

Haven't seen ya in a while. I decided to take a peek in here to check out the B44.1. I'm really considering getting one, but I'm skeptical on the 1/10th 4x4 scene. How do you like yours? More than the RC8? Less? Different? Does it have any downfalls?

A track opened very local to me that races 4x4 1/10th buggies and I'm really itching to get one. I ended up getting a SC10, but I'm just thinking the buggy is more my style.

I have a RS Pro 8.5 mtr. in my SC10. I was thinking of selling the SC10 as a roller and moving that power plant over. Think an 8.5 is enough? I noticed you're running a 6.5.

Good to see ya around Gregg. I was beginning to thing you gave up RC all together :(

I had a motor with the same problem, which Tekin took care of me on. :nod: The screws in this particular motor are straight, just seem to be spaced out differently. It's weird. :weird:

Whats a good base line set up for this car.. Thanks guys

The Stock set-up or the Team LiPo set-up available at AE website are both good starting points. The Lipo Set-up is older, but works great IMO.

Motor Question:

I have a TEKIN 8.5 w/RS Pro in my SC10 I was planning on possibly (if I purchase) a B44.1.

Will this motor work fine in this car?

How do you guys like this car overall? Is it good on an array of off-road surfaces?

Thanks!

8.5T is great for most normal sized tracks. Some go as far as 6.5T for the bigger tracks, but a 8.5T boosted could certainly keep up.

As far as the car goes, I feel it is very stable and easy to control. It is durable, fairly easy to tune, and the US LiPo Set-up works almost everywhere with only minor tweaks. Front shock shafts and ball cups seem to be the common failures which don't happen that often. It is a good, sound platform.

What do you mean by "US lipo set up"?

Sorry I'm so clueless on this car. Appreciate the responses...

No problem:

Hello guys new here.

So I got a brand new b44.1. Still alittle new to all this racing stuff.

I have a new motor set-up I got for a great deal a Castle sct sidewinder with a 3800kv (85.00 brand new) and yes I know i should of got a turn set-up but that will be soon. And I know its not the right one for the truck. It was to go into my slash.

Wanted to know what pinion gear I should run to make it perform the best overall?

any help would help me out.

thank you
James.

+1. 6.5+ will be plenty unless you are a team ae driver, or better.
