I bought solid jconcept rear wheels, not knowing that they we're hex until I got to the track. The only adapters that worked were losi scte hexes. They worked great, and I will now use them permanently. They are nicley machined metal and fit perfect. Who would have guessed. I agree, I don't like the rulux wheels either.

Little update on the B44.1 and driving.
It has been a rough few months with this thing trying to keep it off the pipes or walls. I swear they jump out in front of me on the track.
Ran some new tires Rebar front and rear. from Barcodes front and rear.
motor setup is a Viper VTX10R/VST6.5
Gearing 19/81. going to try a 84 tomorrow to see if I can get some better temps
BB Losi springs front rear
Front Orange
Rear White
TC3 front one-way diff.
My old personal best was 12.05 seconds
New best as of last night 11.80 Seconds backed by a 11.92 and a 11.82
I am happy with it.

John -- I checked with Brent and he said that he always starts out with his std setup that is on the AE site. As far as big bore springs goes you can get the Kyosho's or he said that Due is making the Losi springs work good (red/yellow).
On another note...are you guys sealing the chassis with CA when you build the car? I cant remember whether or not I did it with my last 4wd, but need to get this one built up for Cactus. Thanks.

This is the track.

That is the 13.5 Buggy A-main. I was in the TQ #1 spot.. it's my b4.1 though. but shows you the track.
THe one-way
I LOVE IT. I have a hard time braking/turning with all 4 wheels braking. I run the clicker on the SC10 4x4 for the same reason.
I like to brake in the corner and "V" the turns(slid the rear end around) and nail it out of the turn. the one way allows me to do this just like my B4.1 and SC10..
I will see if my wife will take some Vid of it friday for the last round of that series points race so you can see ho wit moves with it.
