Never really paid attention to the HB stuff, but just saw an old interview at Airage media's channel on youtube with Torrance showing the buggy...

This design is absolutely gorgeous, seems like a huge leap for 4wd 1/10th... Never understood why even after 2 updates to the B44, AE still haven't offered a gear diff for their B44...

May have to look into this buggy on my next 4wd 1/10th purchase, looking at this design, it looks like they gave it a lot of thought...

One observation though, should the motor be on the left side? My B44's motor is on the right side, and always thought that shaft 4wd buggies had it place on the right so the weight bias of the motor cancels out the twisting effect caused by the center drive shaft?
