Just picked up a .2 Roller. I am considered to be a good 2WD SCT & 2WD Buggy driver. I can also hold my own in 4WD SCT. The 4WD Buggy is entirely new to me so any advice will be appreciated. A friend of mine said the 44.2 is similar to the SC10 4x4, but different. LOL.
I am looking to run a 6.5T motor or should I start higher like an 8.5 or 10.5. What spurs and pinions? I hear it's ready right out of the box. Also advise me on spares cause I know I am going to need them. Thanks in advance.
First wheeler... 7.5t big track 8.5t medium/ large track.
Spares: lots of arms if its your first wheeler.
Stock spur, look over the past few pages for gearing on those motors, 21-23 or something.

Be very easy on the throttle till your used to it, these accelerate out of a turn like a F1 car compared to what your running now. Set some expo in your ESC or curve.

Check the first post for video tips from UN4Racing, many help full links.

Yes, bumpy out door. I will drive it more before making changes. Because I am getting used to it. Yes over jumping makes an awful sound. Strangely, it kinda drives like my t4 in the corners. tons of off power steering. I was say though, its kinda crazy, now much traction it has. makes me realize just how much wheel spin I have with my mod 2wd buggy.

No, that sounds perfect as far as my experience goes! LOL. Each time I go off the big jump, I cringe thinking my electronics will die.

Grub screw, not 100% necessary. I ran for about a month without it and the motor didn't move.

This is pretty spot on Jammin. I got pinions 18 thru 22 with 78, 81 & 84 spurs and tried each with an 8.5, 7.5, 6.5 and 5.5 turn motors… settled on stock gearing for our track 18-81… could go to a 19-81 with a 6.5 but the 18-81 with a 6.5, for me, is magic for Mod class. 7.5 will be great with a little less top end than the 6.5, also not sure how tight your tracks are?

If I were you I would buy heaps of 81 spurs and whatever pinions you have cash for (18, 19, 20, 21) as Ive found the 22 bogs a lot and doesn't offer anything useful…..

testing testing testing! have fun! also, UN4RACING is +1 for tips...

Default gearing

I run on a small indoor offroad track and I got mine geared with a 19/78 7.5 motor temps are 105-103 on the speed control and the motor is 150-155. Does this sound OK to u guys?

And I need a spare b44.2 chassis. Do any of u got one for sale,
I have a project I am going to try. I am going to Frankenstein a b4.2 front to a b44.2 chassis an hope I can make a buggy or a mess if it works I will call it a b5. Hahaha.

Default Aluminum JConcepts wing mount and lower mount

These two items together cost $50 new I want 25.00. Normal wear and tear from usage. As you can see, I polish the studs for a little more bling.

I've seen it done in a Durango. Run 2 caps on the ESC to help keep it cool.

Im considering buying a b44.2, since the B5 is rumored to arrive soon how big is the chance that they will be out with a new 4wd the same year?

It would suck to buy a b44.2 now and a new 4wd will pop up perfekt for the outdoor season.

I don't see the next 44 being redesigned, but updated. Gear diffs, and maybe an alloy chassis. Might even just be pushed as some sort of conversion kit.

My advice, if you want to run 4WD, do it. There won't be a world of difference between a new car and the old one.
