hey guys,

coming from short course and been looking at these hard.

How fun are these to drive? Are they easy to drive? I heard they break a lot, any truth to that?

I really dont want to get into a 2wd buggy yet i like 4 wd to pull you out of turns.

please let me know! thanks!

Mine has only broke once. Stay off the walls and pipes. As for fun, oh yeah there a blast. Easy to drive fast is why there so much fun.

The B44 platform is the best I have ever driven. Its the only class I run ever since I bought one. Its been cheap and fast fun racing. Throw in the power you can handle and let it rip. Every RC Racer owes it to them self to try 4x4 racing. Best driving experience I have encountered in RC Racing so far.

Highly recommend The B44.1.

Explanation of set up sheets please.
 
On the "Standard set up sheet" and both Cavalieri and Maifield's World title set up sheets it is written in the rear toe spot 3.0+0 or 3 degrees. Yet in the kit you are supplied with rear hubs that say L0.0 & R0.0 which is part no. 9864. So are these guys using part no.9867 (1.5 degrees) per side added together is 3 degrees.
What rear hub do you guys use.

Also the bumpsteer washers are ajusted where and how and what do they acheive.

Can you adjust the rear antisquat. Or front caster. Is rear antisquat the same thing as rear antisquat.

Does anybody use the rear aluminium tower mount.

What are some valuable hop ups.

Kit setup has 3 deg inboard toe-in per side (built in). 3 + 0 means 3 deg inboard, 0 deg outboard ie use the 0 deg hubs supplied with the kit.

Bumpsteer washers are installed under the steering ballstud on the front hub. Adding washers gives toe-out in bump, which tends to make the car a little easier to drive in bumpier conditions.

rear anti-squat can be adjusted using washers under the rear blocks, but basically is not changed from 2 deg (as per kit build).

3deg = shims under the wings reversed. 6 deg = no shims. 9 deg = shims as per manual.

So how much is everyone cutting foams on the front inserts? I know I can just get the closed cells and be done with it. But I have a bunch of foams from my B4.1. Thanks in advance for the help.

stuff rear in fronts, or use a set to suck up blue that comes on the rim from glueing;);)

Thanks for the tip.

Is there a hex conversion for the B44 back rims? I rather not worry about them.

BIGTIME 02-06-2012 09:35 PM

Tried the box setup and car was good, however I feel like the from oil is light. I went to 40 in the front now it feels great, did anybody else go up in front shock oil?
