Few weeks back, somebody said that they shipped the parts to Bugle Boy. I'm sure you could order through Amain and have them shipped direct (I do it when sending my bodies to my painted).

Ordering a conversion???

My car wants to over rotate around corners off powe, I just want to tone it down a touch. I am running full ballast between the lipos and the batteries in the forward position. Ideas?

The RS PRO was my favorite, but was no where near as smooth as the rev. The MMP is my least favorite. It is smoother than the RS PRO but not as smooth as the rev. The power is about equivalent to the rev. It gets hotter, the motor gets hotter, & I don't get as much run time (13 minutes vs. 20+ minutes). If you have an MMP it will be fine till you can save up for something else. If you are spending $, get something else.

I WILL be getting the RSX in the very near future. I have driven the rs gen 2 & the rx8 gen 2. Both of them are much smoother. At least as smooth as the rev pro was if not more so. I usually won't recommend an ESC with out owning it or spending a lot of time with it, but with the RSX, I will recommend it now!

I recommend shaving a little ballast off , 40 grams ..
Battery mount in the back of chassis

Try using a little less drag brake brake for the rear stepping out issue .

Was that your orange B44 trying to keep up with My PINK Centro ?

That was me. At the time Thomas didn't have parts in stock and couldn't get any so I mailed him the parts and he deducted the cost from the total. Anyone interested should email him first since he told me he had quite the waiting list from orders as soon as he could get parts. Haven't heard anything about him not making them anymore.

What's your setup? A quick adjustment would be to tighten your front diff, and make sure your swaybar is installed properly. It should move VERY freely, without the washers restricting lateral movement.

Ill check that, my rear sway is good to go, but my front diff is pretty loose in comparison to the rear

I was considering just using the diffs out of my second 410 and sending whatever parts were required to him to get them to work in the 44.2.

My B44.2 just sits now. I'm much faster/consistent with the Durango, but I think part of it is me not pushing the 44 due to stripping gears so much. I think i'm on my 4th set of rears. I've shimmed it tighter this time so we'll see.

EDIT: Emailed Thomas to see if I can send him the parts out of my buggies to get setup for gear diffs faster.

Have you ever tried running with out the balast weight? I use to run it but have since stopped because I felt the weight creates more of a pendulum effect causing the car to over rotate. Since I removed it my car has been more consistent. Also dont be afraid to really tighten your diffs. I thought mine were tight but one of our local AE drivers who I happen to paint for had me really tighten them up and it was a huge improvement.

hmm, never really thought about trying to run without the ballast. Ill give that a shot this week and see where I am at.
