Hard braking is the real gear killer. Good slipper setting plus softer brake setting the gears last longer. I put 5 spots of white grease on the gears and shim them tight. 6 shimms on the gear side. It improves natural braking and makes the gears ware longer. Down side is the gears may be louder. I have the slipper set at about 6'' the brakes set so the rear wont lift off the ground. My brakes will upset the kit but not lock up.
Its worked very well for me. I run a 6.5 and soon to be running 5.5.

From: Conducting aggressive board meetings at my local track
Yes they are adjust the weight depending on the weight of the lipo they run.
Ryan Maifield is using a Reedy 627 which has more runtime and higher C rate than the pack that Cavalieri uses from Orion. So he cuts the ballast weight down some to keep the total weight of the battery plus ballast the same between both set ups.

I tried the 50 (using lead weight for now) grams this weekend while using the Reedy 627 pack. I never added weight before this. I added additional weight for the main to see what would happen, turned out to be a bad idea. I liked the 50 grams better. Totally amazed at how much better the car handled with the weight.

Yes, Associated is the only manufacturer of 4wd B44 front wheels. You can also use Losi 4wd buggy front wheels which will fit.

So if i convert the rear of the b44.1 to hex then I cant get matching wheels(yet)
Sounds like Proline/JC make hex rears but no B44 front
and Associated has b44 front but no hex rear.
Personally I dont like the Rulux wheels

any problems with getting your rear wheel nut on/off? Some locals at my track say depending on what nut driver you have you can run into some issues because the TLR wheel is made for a smaller nut than the B4 uses. So if your nut driver's wall is too thick you run into some issues.
