FYI, the B44 design pre-dates brushless and lipo too. It took them a while to figure out how to make them run well after losing 30% of the battery weight, I think adding ballast is still common in B44 setups. Remember, lipo saddle packs had to be made to fit cars like that.

but havent wanted to because of the 4wd. maybe its a car that will actually win worlds for once for like the last 800 years
Maybe not worlds but the XXX4 is still up front. I think 6 of 10 cars in the A-main at 2010 nats were XXX4's, on an outdoor track no less.
It's still very quick but it needs mods that require parts that aren't made any more (steering rack mod) and shares almost no parts with any of the other Losi cars.
