Hi guys,

I'm experiencing some problems with my back wheels. Either my screw nut tends to loosen while I drive or when i fasten it harder it somehow blocks my wheel partially. I don't know how exactly I can fix this. It is quite annoying, as it has destroyed two wheels already..

Has anybody of you had the same issue? Do you know any method to fix this?

Run the rear hex adapters and some new nutts, it will fix your problems

I'd also make sure the crush tube isn't damaged and/or the correct size.

I used tape weights, stuck to the insides of the lipos.

Hey all, new to the B44.1, just got my used one yesterday. Anything I should worry about right off the bat? I need to mount up some rubber, put the electrics in, paint up the body, and figure out the wiring on these pesky new saddle packs.....

The stock setup is great, and it's pretty much bulletproof as long as you aren't bouncing off stuff.

Keep it off the pipe, and don't overdrive it just because it's 4WD. Do everything you can to stay smooth, and follow the fast line.

Coming from 2WD, you have to really focus on braking before the turn. That's the biggest hurdle for me.

I've been wanting to try out EP 1/10 4WD Buggy..and the B44.1 seems to be a very popular car in this class..Just wondering,does the buggy comes with big bore shocks?if it doesn't,is the buggy good enough with the standard shocks?

Thanks for the reply. What exactly would be the effect of a damaged or missized crush tube?
