Default B44 SC Conversion

B44 sc conversion first race with TQ and win in club race
It is easy to drive, easier than my SCRT, very stable and shoots out of turns fast also very precise and accurate response.
Used LRP sphere with 7.5 motor, slightly underpowered but ran well.
I am not a pro driver so driving not perfect but was fun to drive

Using chassis conversion and B44

Chassis conversion will be graphite and will be available soon with instructions to convert your B44
as much as possible most of the B44 parts were used
Will post information soon
We are in the development phase and have 3 prototypes with different configurations to see what is the best for racing

im not sure if it was your good driving, or the others' bad driving that won it for you. Both I guess.

Truck is lookin great, cant wait to see the final version.

The track was actually bad and blown out, the jumps were inconsistent in all lines
I was running against sponsored racers so they are not slow, it was just the unpredictable track and they are just new to the track or to the 4wd class

I will have more information and pics when it is ready
we just have test cars right now to see what is the best set up for this conversion
I will post pics when the cars are presentable
All the carbon fiber you can get (I was disappointed with the plastic mold that the new AE 4wd had)
But as I have mentioned it does run well, like a B44 but more stable and predictable on the rough stuff like 1/8 tracks and also nimble and quick out of turns for the indoor clay
I'm excited to run this in the RC pro series and see how it does against the big guys in TX
I have a full optioned scrt and is fast and responsive but this b44 conversion is more responsive and nimble and easy to drive
Thanks for the interest guys
The conversion kit should be available for orders soon, still have to finish cnc production of chasis

Are any of you old enough to remember these? Back when the Losi XX4 first came out, Losi sold a "SODA Body" conversion for it. So, technically, Losi had the "First" SC Truck back then. Everyone thought they were goofy looking and it never took off.
