I also have a tp610dc.

the reedy uses 4mm bullets or you can use an adapter like I links and use deans connectors. The saddles are hooked in series that mean you are going to jumper + and -. That leaves 1 +/- open on each cell. your +/- goes into those respectively. The balancer will use 2 wires. red to pos, black to beg and the middle wire goes to the jumper. Just like that connector I linked you.


here is a video for you.

Hi all, assembling my B44.2 and just put together the slipper. The manual says to have a 2mm gap between the slipper nut and the end of the shaft. But when I barley get the nut started onto the thread, the gap is already approx 6-7mm. Have I assembled something wrong, or is that 2mm in the manual a bit off? I mean just eyeballing it in the manual pics it looks more than 2mm relative to the other slipper components.
Also, I understand that the slipper will be set later when tuning the buggy, but has anyone else found this 2mm measurement in the manual to be off?

That measurement they give you in the manual is the measurement from the b44 style slipper. When they updated the slipper assembly to this new style they did not update it in the manual. Just do as you are doing. Get it started on there are far as you can by hand and then continue with the rest of your build. And like you said, you will set it once the build is complete

I think it would improve your front flip rotation count when landing nose down

Most broken arms are from clipping something on the side as opposed to a head on hit... unless you go full clip straight into a wall

Agreed, however, noodle arms for the rear would be an interesting tunning tool.

I really don't see why everyone cries over the arms.

They're not bad. I never broke a standard one, nor a hard one. I've been hit, rolled, crashed to the point I thought it was dead for sure... nope. All ok. Heck I even popped the rear shock tower in a wreck and finished the run.

If anything, take the "hard" ones and boil them. I ran them in freezing weather. Didn't break and felt better than the standard ones.
