I am taking it to Motorama this weekend and I probably will still be using the 6.5T motor. I only got for this race and it came with that motor. Do you know what gearing I should go with?

It didnt seem like too much motor for the track. It was running perfect to me, it was just getting hot.

Looking at getting one of these buggies. Is it worth the little extra coin to get the B44.1 instead of the standard B44?

If your getting a new one, I would probably get the B44.1. I got my slightly used and ARTR. I looked at a B44.1 yesterday and I think they look the same. The only difference to me is the shocks and chassis. I dont know what else was changed.

I am curious will the B44.1 body fit the B44?

If you can get a NIB B44 for close to 1/2 price of the B44.1, I'd say go for it. Add the $6 for the bleeder caps and $20 for the cradle if you run lipos. You will then have one heck of a car. A buddy of mine did just this over the weekend.

Besides kit setup, whats everyone running setup wise for a good start? Just got a 44.1 and just looking for a good starting point. Thanks.

the box stock setup is a very good setup for most tracks I would say to get the ballast wheight for it and the big bore springs also run the front diff tighter then the rear it will give you some more forward drive.

Hey guys just ordered all the stuff to do the bigbore spring conversion on my b44.1 and I went with the silver spring in the front and yellow In the rear would this be a good starting point for a medium bite track and what ride height are you guys running with the big bore springs.

According to JC, the stock B44.1 body won't fit the B44 without modifications
(never tried swapping between the two myself).

It would require trimming the CF chassis to a new angle behind the front wheels.

I'm running 18/81 but a 19 will work to on our track. Lrp ESC and Sonic 6.5.
