My 1st race with it was last night. We only did 2 qualifiers. 1st one went well. I had a slight bobble early & dropped to 3rd or so. worked my way back to the leader & passed him in a high speed sweeper only to have a back marker stuff a pipe right in front of me. I finished 2nd. 2nd qualifier was a throw out due to getting tangled multiple times on the 1st lap & getting lapped on the 2nd

On the bright side, I worked my way back to 3rd & unlapped myself in the process. That unlapping didn't sink in until the a-main. I started 2nd. I passed for the lead on the 3rd turn & never looked back. I ended up lapping the entire field! I have never done that with anything! My fast lap for the night was faster than the ebugs turned. All of this was with an 8.5t lrp x12 (4dot timing on the can, 0 on the esc).
My question now is, does that extra 8mm of the b44.2 really make this buggy that much better?
Mega huge unbelievable difference. Test drive someones at the track. Its more stable.
