Questions??

Hey all!

Im stoked to finally join the 4wd buggy scene after many years of on road! I just bought an original b44 off ebay and was wondering the differences between that and the 44.1? Im asking because i am looking to try and upgrade.

I notice the obvious differences such as lipo chassis, thick front shock tower, new shocks, different servo location, cam motor mount, and rear hubs, but also noticed its 7mm longer? I was wondering where this length came from?
Because looking back through the thread I noticed that the chassis seemed to be the same size minus the holes? Additionally does this mean the top decks are longer? I notice the different antenna mount location, but they seem to be the same otherwise the same to me.

I like the new body designs, but noticed on the manufacturers site and on here that it doesnt quite fit the 44... is this due to the chassis length? I dont see where the problem would arise, and would love to run a newer body! Ive read on here that almost every other part was compatible otherwise, so i find this a little perplexing.

Now I have never seen or compared the two side by side, Ive only seen original 44s... So any input would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
