new rear shock tower profile and lower wing mount - that sucker is way up there

aluminum in something other than blue

That's all I could come up with.
I'd like to see tougher arms, shock mounting that doesn't risk breaking the shafts in a crash, an optional aluminum chassis (for soft/loamy/bumpy tracks, but stick with CF as the default), optional gear diffs, and sturdier diff cases.

Basically, make a mod-oriented version that is heavier, more flexible, and tougher for outdoor racing. All stock 4wd racers will run the .1 and the mod racers would run the .2. Outdoor races with the B44/44.1 are like games of elimination, where it isn't which cars were fastest, but which cars survived the qualifiers and race.
