You can also dye both the JConcepts and Associated wheels with RIT dye. It's pretty easy and the results look awesome.

Soften the shocks up (I run on a very bumpy 1/8 scale track) to 32.5 front and 27.5 rear, 21 mm ride height, and thick sways front and read. as far as wheel spacers go, I havent run any and I only run the AE white rims.

So I went with the Novak sc pro bl system in both my B44's. They are both dead in the water after less than two packs each. Are they even worth being fixed or will they just let me down again? Save money and switch to Tekin?

Well are they under warranty? If so, get them fixed, sell them, and go with Tekin.

I would be over ridden with guilt selling this crap to someone. Im really shocked at the poor quality from a company held in such high regard.

But it would be nice if it were 12mm like with other cars.

After fiddling around a bit, I find that the new Orion R10 Pro is a perfect speed control for the B44.1 I have. Bought that and a TC Spec (same time) and the TC Spec already needs repair (bad capacitors, 2nd time in for repair). Also a Tekin RS Pro would be a great speed control. The last good Novak Speed control ever made was the original GTB. My brother has one that he has used for years in a b44, t4, rt5, rb5, SCT. Never an issue other then fit. Why they stopped making those I will never know.

I just bought one of these used in the for sale section on here. How would it do running a castle 1410 3800kv with a MMP esc. Just wondering because I already have a few of these sets. Also whats a good servo for this car? I'm just trying to be ready to run it when it gets here. Thanks for any help.

So I've ran 10 to 15 packs in my 44.1 and it does not want to roll and is crunchy. It rains a lot here and the track can get muddy, might of got it too muddy. Took apart my diff and my bearings were shot. Cleaned every thing real good. Should I have to do this often or was it the mud.

My B44.1 has probably 3 race weekends and already gone thru 2 rear diffs.
First time around I shimmed it as per manual, 2nd I shimmed it as per info posted here and still got chewed up.

I didn't have any of these problems with my previous buggy B44, has me scratching my head....

Anyone know what happened to the RC10.com forums ??
