Couple of questions.
1. How is the reliability of the B44.1?
2. How easy is the build, any problems?
I tried an SC10 4x4 kit and found the servo mount to be very poor in design and also the Diff's are very hard to get at. Sold it.
Any other advise on the B44.1?
Thanks...Rick
I give the 44.1 a 10 on fit and finish. I have not had any trouble to speak of on my 44.1. You will get a lot different feed back that shows most issues are of a personal problem that varies from each of us. I set my servo saver tight my slipper tight and I shim the gear side of the diff with all 6 shims and 5 spots of grease on the gear. Really that's all I would recommend on a new or rebuild. Your gonna break an A-Arm shock shaft and maybe a cap. So have shock eyelets shafts and arms and caps. The kit will out perform any other in its class plain and simple. Its the best of the best in its class IMO. Run it box stock and tweak it from there. After you hit the track you may want to try some hop ups but out of the box it has every thing you need to run with the front of the pack. I have enjoyed mine so far.
