True, nothing wrong with trying something different as long as long as it doesn't cost too much. Just cuz AE made it doesn't mean its the perfect blend of strength and crush zone

Depends on how much you drive..... If the X-ray breaks none in a year then what ,would be enough proof.

Do the o-ring mod, and stop breaking arms.

Oh and someone asked about the hard arms...My son's car runs the hard arms with the o-ring mod and no breakages so far.

Surely you don't believe there is a 1/10 4x4 out there that's bullet proof ? (EXCLUDING THE SC10 4X4 )

I try to bring a sense of humor...




Gold Cup results

Made the main in one of hardest races in my career , all the best from the N/w attended.
Making the show was no easy deal , only way was making no mistakes .

My B44 performed great , was very fast & predicable ....

I just picked up a 44.2. Without reading through all of these pages are there any hop ups or mods that are a must have?

Thanks!

Welcome to the thread and the B44 , yeah reading 400 pages is not practical .

Consider these hop ups a must do....

replacing

the kit ball cups with RPM ball cups ....

Ae ceramic diff balls for added durability..

Swap out the VTS for the Avid Triad slipper system .

Switch out the blue shock standoff's for the Ae RTR plastic bushing so you don't wear out the shock caps .
