Default Selling B44.2

Well, really hate to see this go. But its just not a popular class in my area anymore. Will have to switch over to 2WD

Here is the link if anyone is interested:

And just for you guys (I always like pics of the cars ) some final pics before pulling the electronics- I thought it was one of my best wiring jobs on this car to date! Looks clean, no where near the driveshaft, easy slipper access, etc.

The fronts won't work. The b44 uses a 9.5mm hex that nobody else uses. The rears, however, are the same 12mm hex almost everyone uses, including the 22.

Got to run the car with a front sway bar (black) today.

Really surprise me how it performed.

Thought it would smooth out the steering a little.

Not..lol

Instead it brought more tip end & over all steering.

So not gona be using as I do not need more steering .

Default point in the right direction

could you guys point me in the direction of what durango diffs to get, and what other parts i will need to make the modification for the steel diffs. seems to be a worthy upgrade, unless you guys can talk me out of it.

Short answer: No. If you are looking to get front wheels that will work across a variety of vehicles, it doesn't really work because each vehicle has a different offset rim. There are many brands that make rims to fit the front of the B44. AKA, Jconcepts, Proline, DE racing, and Associated to name a few.

You want to get the gear diffs for a dex410. You will also need to get a machined pinion gear and proper bearings to fit the diff cases. Bugle boy is an option, or TSchulz3 on here. (I got mine from him). It will probably cost $100 for the machined parts, diffs are $40 apiece. It's pricey, but soo worth it!

Not sure how they would fit... But the new HotBodies D413 uses 12mm hubs on the front. (they are also able to use a 9.5mm hex that is included in the kit also so the b44 guys can switch and not worry about pitching good tires because of the new kit.)

The hex has a 5mm inside diameter, and is designed to ride on the inner race of the bearing.

Just thought I'd share if it can help~
