There is a dedicated b44.2 thread here
http://www.rctech.net/forum/electric...hread-274.html

But to answer your question, no. The b44.2 is 8mm longer & the front of the chassis is angled differently. The b44.1 has the same angle on the front but is 8mm shorter. Things can be made to work, but each generation (b44/.1/.2) has its own dedicated body.

start with the 4.2 kit setup and adjust from there. I would invest in the tapered pistons. use 1.7 tapered and 37.5 fr 35 rear. If the track is relatively smooth but just has big jumps, switch to the 1.4x3 or 1.6 tapered.

Run your diff fairly loose (but not slipping) and run your slipper a little on the loose side (barely lift your front wheels up on bench test).

If you need more rear grip, first switch to green rear springs. If you still need more, switch to green front springs too.

once you get a decent level of grip and your car isn't a pogo stick, then just drive it. You'll never be perfectly dialed in on a track like that.

People come and go in this community, I recently came back from a 8 year break and switching from on to off road. i have been a sponge since teturning to include reading every post in this tread from start to finish. And I've noticed the same thing. Don't treat people poorly or talk down to them because they are new or uninformed because that doesn't equal stupid. Because you never know where they will be in a year or two, this is a sport/hobby that many use to escape the humdrums of life. First and the most important thing people forget is it should be FUN. And getting talked down to is not fun and not a true reflection of the majority of people in this community. I can rebuild a motor and hang a door; and I have built two kits from scratch since November with little to no help! But I still have my friends set my diff and slipper because I'm not comfortable does that make me stupid? And when I ask for help they don't talk down to me even when I ask a question they think is silly, they just chuckle and explain it!
-end rant!
