ran mine last night,this is the first time in 4yrs in a 4wd,tq and win dam i have missed this thing.

10.5 motor will be around a 23-81,like said above a 6.5 is around a 18ish.

jay n,what are you trying to do

just want to see if i can get the 10.5 to keep up with some of the guys that are using 8.5. most of my racing has been on road and not sure if my esc settings will be any good off road may produce higher motor temps. and not sure the car can handle a 4.5 got no motors in between atm but im sure the 10.5 with some boost can keep up.

I have a LRP 8.5 in very good condition that I would be willing to let go for a decent price. If you are interested, just send me a PM.

what esc and size of the track

esc, hw v2.1 120 amp
track, medium technical loose 40 meter straight
thanks.

Get a 6.5
 

Get a 6.5 trust me just grab the controller and coolest crowd you'll love it you can always dial it down and get the LRP tc esc I was in the same boat you were in and they told me to go to a 6.5 I was kind of hesitant at first but I went with it anyway and trust me it was the best decision for the car I currently run on eight scale track with 18/81 gearing but when I run on a 10 scale track I just dial it down a bit and it's ready to go full throttle and everything

Hey guys, I am running my first race with the b44.1 this weekend and it happens to be a bigger event. I am only used to driving a b4.1. How do i need to change my driving with the b44.1? More or less braking? Also, I should probably go conservative on my setup. Any tips?

Stay in the throttle over jumps and bumps or the car nose dives! Pick one of the set ups on rc10.com that is similar to your track and you should be very close other than shock oil.

I've got a couple Bfast Diff Kits in the for sale section if anybody is interested

Im considering buying a b44.1.... i have a spare 5.5 540 sonic...has anyone ran this motor? Anyone looking to get rid of one?

I have ran one. 16,17/81 on our track. It will work the slipper. So either crank it down or keep it serviced. Ran it for a couple of weeks and then the diff went weak and failed. Costed me a podium in a local trophy race the night it went out.
I'm sold on the Sonic 6.5... But the 5.5 is still my runner up choice. Ran it with the stock spec. Smooth as silk.

What diff do u run ball or gear?...is it in any way similar to drive as the sc10 4wd?..ive got a ft so i already have saddles...and that sonic was WAY TOO MUCH for my 2wd sc10!!...

Will a 87 tooth spur fit the b44.1

If I remember right, it will not but the 84 will.


Can I ask what you're tryingvto achieve with the 87? Running a 3.5? Lol

need new spur and not sure what my LHS will have dont want to get something that wont fit cheers

They only come with a ball diff, not to sure if you can get a gear diff for them

Ball diffs are better IMO. And AE hasn't released any gear diffs. The B44.1 is nothing like a SC10 4x4. They are clumsy compared to a B44. I would call a B44 a Ninja and an SC a Boxer. Big difference.

I am looking forward to winter just so I can run a B44.1 again. Its my favorite Rc racing.

Some are making them out of Durango diffs and I think the caster or C car might be a close chance at fitting one?

I miss mine too. Lookin forward to the winter as well. Just soldered up a new speedo to it the other day.

Looking pretty good. I will start building all new in a month or so. I hate the winter but I love the 4x4 class.

Don't use guys race in winter over there, here in australia we race all year round

this is why i love Fl,race 52 weeks a year only to have some rain outs

We race all year in Missouri. We just move indoors in the winter. And we put the nitro on the self.

Summer time everyone goes out side to race. But when the season gets to cold, indoors kicks in and then its 44 time... Oh yeah.

Yep, in the northeast, summer brings out the nitro fun, then when it gets cold, everyone settles back into their indoor tracks.

Since the bb shocks seem to be a popular topic and I know someone asked about it befor, here are pics of my b44.1 with dex 210 shocks on it. the front has the 23mm stroke shocks with 1.2m x6 hole w/35wt and the rear has 31mm stroke 1.3mm x6 hole w/30wt oil in it. I had to limit the fron uptravel by about 3mm and the rea about 6mm, so if this is something you are considering doing, bye the 23mm for the front and the 29mm for the rear.

The suspension feels so much more plush and soft, yet it takes about twice the distance dropped to bottom out as the v2 shocks did on it. I plan on hitting the track up sometime this week to see how it feels.

Looks nice Symmetricon, I bet folks could pick up those shocks from the guys converting the V3 410's back to little bores like the factory guys are doing.


The best mod for me is going bb springs and adding the Ghea pistons. Night and day difference between stock piston and springs. So smooth.

Well, I just got back from the track after trying out the durango shocks and I am sold, it handed better in every way, and I was ably to run faster thn my SCTE by .5sec on a nasty, rough and loose/sandy 1/10 track.

Hey sym, have u tried 2 stage pistons on your 44 yet?? I run them with the v2 shocks with bb kyosho springs yellow fr/ white rear 30/25 and they work great on big outdoor 1/8 scale tracks, and honestly if your only .5 sec faster than your scte, your 44 has alot more left in it,as theres not a sc truck on our track that can even come close to me

I have not, i have been trying to figure out which direction to go with the suspension. I have the spring right, durango BB, but it seems like the buggy doesnt like a rough track too much, and it also seems to chassis slap fairily easy. my dex 210 is so much more stable and smooth around the track. Also, my testing was done when the track was completly dry and loose, im talking like driving in a sand box. when it is wet, the 4x4 buggies are blazing, but when dry the lighter vehicles are not so quick. Oddly enough, my fastest lap times have been with me 2wd dex 210 when the track is whet and prepted.

Has anyone tried installing the Losi 22 shockS on the 44.1?

i see one problem with this setup

Whats that?

Lmao.....you got some eyes man!

Your batteries!

did you guys see that Avid is making an alum chassis?

My buggy has big bore springs, there Losi's and I like it. Might try the Avid springs next.

:D:D:lol::lol:

It's in prototype stage and undecided if it will be produced.

just finished my b44.1 build , it went together nice , although the springs rub the shock body on the rear which is causing me to cringe , got collars ect on order for bb spring conversion . i see some are using losi 3 hole pistons also which i have complete set of , what combo's are people using ? probably wont run it for a couple more weeks but cant wait . cheers

you have to play with the three hole piston,i ran them in my sc10 but wen't back to the 2 hole piston,i like it better
