for $10, I will too. Honestly, when I put the sc10 front/rear on, I could not even feel the difference on the track..... granted the sc10 truck felt like crap everywhere to me. I am a buggy guy, and severely dislike SC trucks because they drive like dump trucks. But I will say this, I broke 2x RPM arms on my sc10, I sent them back and they sent me out replacements for free, so yeah. This is a "fun" class for me, I am not going to the worlds. Plus, maifield would not have broke at the worlds with rpm arms, muhaaaa

If rpm uses their same old plastic ?

Will be warped after a few hits ..

Second that I don't like sc they just slam every thing and break my buggy during practice

I put the RPM arms on my C4.2 and had the same experience ... I couldn't feel the difference and raced at the same level I used to. I think if you are learning how to drive a B44 with a fast motor the RPM arms would be a smart buy. If you are ultra precise and fast already, or drive a very forgiving track with drivers in control all of the time I guess you don't need them.

they sometimes toss wheelers in with 4x4 sc, because they are both 4wd, lol. So a little extra security on the arms is nice.

wildcat how are you liking your new wheeler? pretty fun huh. feels good to blast past the stock guys for once huh. lol

That's nuts. I wouldn't race a wheeler in 4x4 SC. At my track if not a wheeler class they go in mod buggy.

yeah, I am gonna try to push for Mod buggy in those cases. The mod guys are mostly sponsored and will all spank me with 2wd cars anyway, lol. I dont really feel like having a 7lbs truck pancake me or drive me into the pipes

I am lucky we have a Wheeler class of about 12 cars every round of our winter series. 8th scale dropped to 3 cars so I dropped it for 4wd Buggy. So I will make it 13 now. Love the B44.2 so far and with a little more tuning I hope it will be a blast like 8th scale is.

OK I just weighed my B44.2 and it came out at 1844gms. The weight distribution is as follows

B44.2
1613 1844 = 231
LF 423 420 RF 46%
LR 493 508 RR 54%
50% 50%

Is a 46/54 front/rear OK for a medium traction track? I could remove the ballast weight to reduce overall weight and balance it out more. What is your experience?

I dont run the balast weight. It made my car feel like it was pulling an anchor. Plus this car tends to over rotate as it is so once that weight is in motion its hard to stop it like a pendulum effect. But to each his own.

Hard to get an accurate measurement with shocks on. Preload, ride height and maybe one or two other variables will throw off the corner weight measurements. Solid rods in place of shocks will give you an accurate number.

With that said, this kit seems to fly a little nose down so a little ballast can help, it also depends on your track and your driving style. Really a personal preference and tuning tool.

I installed the ballast weight following some of the set-up sheets. I liked the feel in my first tests but I have a lot of tuning to do. My front diff is tighter than I would like and the rear seems to need to me tighter. Then I will try the slipper set-up method that UN4Racing had in his videos. I also need to work out the shock/spring package I want to run. In my RC8,2e I was 47/53 front/rear and it was really good.

when i first got the car i put the ballast weight in, i recently took it out to try and I have decided to keep it out. i like it better, the car feels really nimble now.

suppose or rather suggested to trim the weight down to 40 grams on the 44.2.
The 44.1 uses all of the ballast.

Its a real pain to cut the ballast.
The weight is made of very hard metal ,even with a hack saw takes real elbow grease to cut..
