Any major advantage to the B44.1 (~$370 new) over the B44 (~$220 new)?

Small changes only... mostly to make it easier to work on, not so much for performance improvements.

Quick question: do the Trakpower 4800 saddles fit in the FT saddle pack tray? Thanks!

I don't personally use those batteries but based on the manufacturer's given dimensions they will fit. They are 30mm high, so you might have to set up the jump cable so the it leaves the bullets at a 90-degree angle, other than that should be fine.

Default Need help

So check this out. This is weird and not sure if anyone has suggestions. So I am running my car all day on Sunday. Car is awesome and set up is perfect. In the first qualifier I break my right front a-arm. No big deal I replace it for the next race.

For whatever reason after replacing the a-arm now all of a sudden my car is horrible. It is really lose in the rear all over the track. Almost so bad it was really hard to even drive, it drove like my 2wd. It was fine going straight but on and off power in turns it just kept spinning out.

I know it is a long shot but any thoughts before I just tear the whole thing apart and check everything?

So, what are the hot saddle batteries these days? I'm having a hard time locating many options, especially for ones that come with built-in wires and a Dean's connector. I wish I could get some with at least the same specs as the 5300mAh/65c Thunder Power battery that I run in my other car... The best I've seen are 5200mAh/60c Losi and Reedy packs.

Anyone here have a 1410 3800 Castle in their B44.1? I have a Mamba Max Pro esc and 3800 4 pole motor in my 4x4 I may put in here to see how it goes.

Any opinions, gearing info? Thanks
