Not for me, I have a new .1 not done yet as well. BB's on order, new slipper fits the .1 (some have said they're running it, maybe the avid). I had a B44 and a Durango, not sure I want a longer 4wd. For 99% of us the .1 vs. .2 won't be a racing winning difference. IMO

Totally agree, I just got mine. Never been raced yet. I will do the bb( have them ordered already), Shock towers and arms and whatever else swaps. I just had a brand new body paint by my buddy at paintmonster airbrushing. I'm not having another one painted. So until they make a new buggy all together. The b44.1 is good enough for me.

Please insert a large amount of sarcasm here since the graveyard shift is very boring when nobody is breaking the law

I knew someone wouldn't understand my post and take it literal even after I wrote (insert sarcasm) and made fun of the fact the whole thing was a run on sentence. And I didn't ask anyone to do anything. Time for some people to lighten up

the garolite pads are the same if not better than the new vts slipper. so the only thing the new b44.2 has is the shocks over us. like the other guy said these tiny changes arent gonna make a damn bit of difference in a race between any of us.

The problem with sarcasm when used as a joke is that it requires too many nonverbs for it to be properly conveyed therefore rendering it ineffective as an effective means of conveying ones intent unless a large amount of waisted time is spent in an attempt by the writer to show the reader through words alone the intended emotion or you could just do this (just joking) or (insert sarcasm here) or better yet compose one of the longest run on sentences you have ever written.

Just finished my car this last week and raced Tue night.
Shakedown run went okay, nothing broken. Need to dial in the car a bit more. Stock setup with an extra limiter in the front.
Got the updated software for my SP GT ESC, just need to play around with the settings. (Anyone have SP in a B44.1 who would care to share ESC settings?)
Its a Tight Clay High traction track. Switched from barcodes to Pink Tapers which are still kinda new. Racing against a couple strong drivers, and finished 3rd out of 3, but again, I haven't raced 4wd buggy for some time, and prior I have been racing 2wd B4 in Stock class.
The track where I race may be closing soon, so it could get retired for a little bit until other options can be found. For now...
B44.1
Futaba 3PKS
Peak 8.5 motor
SpeedPassion GT 2.0 ESC

I'm running stock shocks with kyosho springs and have never had a $100 dollar extra problem plus new shock towers to validate new struts and everything else that needs to be purchased. People are always looking to buy a better game. This is not a reflection of you I'm just stating the facts.
