Would a center one-way for the NTC3 work on a B44, and if so would it allow the car to act more like a 2wd in the air?? obviously when you apply throttle in the air it will still bring the nose up fast, but will the front still dive as bad when you let off the throttle to much?? everywhere else on the track the car is golden to me.. so I don't wanna change the set-up too much...

RPM dual stage shock pistons
Hello everyone. I recently purchased a B44.1 to get into racing at my local track. I bought some RPM dual stage shock pistons. Anyone else tried these? I will install them this weekend to see how they affect my buggy. I couldn't find any info on them in the b44 thread or this thread.

I've used them in my 2wd cars quite a bit.

Need help
So here it is. I run the same track every week (high bite clay). My set up is dialed (or was). Here is the issue. When the track is freshly watered the car is dialed.
The problem is if my heat is later and the track starts drying out the rear end is super loose. Not just a little loose but a whole different car.
Is there something minor that can get changed based on the track conditions that can quickly go back and forth between?
Hopefully this makes sense.

Scratch that then...
Try playing with different compound tires if nothing else. If you are losing rear traction, it could be remedied by changing to a harder/less agressive front tire, or by going all around to a softer tire compound. That's the quickest thing I can think of.

New (?) Front Springs
I was just watching the IFMAR 4wd post-race conference and Cavalieri mentioned going to a "little bit stiffer spring in the front". Looking at pics and video throughout the event, the fronts have always been silver which I assumed were the 3.85/#6496's (i.e. part of the standard setup). Unless today's fronts were stripped blues 4.20/#6497, they don't appear to be cut truck fronts or rears, this would mean there is a new spring in existence.
Anyone have knowledge about a new spring and/or was this a custom part? Thanks in advance.
