Try 2.95mm....

I've ran a 7.5 for a few years in B44s but recently I've found a 6.5 to be more to my liking. If you're on a smaller indoor track, 7.5 is more than plenty.

I probably won't be back for a few more weeks. Mathew was born but mama had lots of complications and had to have a c-section, so I'm probably not going to be around for a while.

Got to race my new kit for the first time this past weekend. I never ran a wheeler before so my only other 4wd drive experience is Nitro buggy and truggy and 4wd SC. Im running kit set up with green springs on the rear. The car is a blast to drive. I took it kind of easy the first tme out to get it broke in a bit. Next race I will get on it a little more. The slipper is definately a little tricky to set but I think I got it because my diffs are still smooth. Cant wait untill next time.

Yes. A lot of them. Mostly SAE 3/32 and 1/16.

I know everyone has different opinions, but how is the .2 holding up. I have been reading that the rango is way more durable. We dont race 4x4 here, so I kinda want one just to run in practice for fun. Had a local selling his 44.1 for $100, I should have jumped on it, lol.

Holds up just as well as the rest of the 44 line. Toughest car I've ever owned, and I used to run a Durango. I'll take a broken arm or even a broken shock shaft once in a blue. Especially if the parts are as cheap as they are, and available everywhere.

Has a bad habit of breaking front arms when you hit things going really fast, but other than that is as durable as a 1/10th 4wd can be I'd think.

With the big bores, I don't recall it slapping bottom as much as the b44.1 did, but that could also be due to the overall setup, no ballast weight, etc.

I never was able to get enough rear traction in my short time owning a Dex410 v3 to know how the durability was compared to the b44. Definitely appeared to be well made, but IMHO unless you are running on a prepared surface is too hard to handle.
