B44.1 Thread

A lot of people, me included, use the Futaba BLS451 servo. It is a good strong servo and if you check the for sale forums on here, some times you can find a good one for a reasonable price.

Hi! At my first contest I got 3rd place with stock settings and Traxxas Velineon electronics, I beat guys with Tekin 6.5 & DX3, now I'm getting ready
for the next one, next week it is, if againg I will get a good place it means that I'm good, if not... that means I was lucky.
The track is in bad condicion because they are building another one outside city and all the money goes there, I used Proline Caliber tires.

There were three classes:
1. 1/8 nitro buggy
2. 1/10 electric buggy
3. 1/10 SC 4x4 electric
Not held 1/8 electric buggy and 1/8 nitro truggy because people have not been submitted.
My B44.1 run good, dind't mout anti rollbar or stabilizer bar or however its called, in the middle of the race the differentials were weakened and another time lost both pins from rear tires, anyway I maneged to finish the race every time. I'm very pleased with this car, the Durango and Schumacher broke down often, perhaps it was the drivers fault for this.

If you have the weight between the batteries, take it out. My friend did that and doesn't slap on clean landings... That said, I don't know how it affects overall handling.

Is that Associated oil weights?
Are you running #2 pistons up front and #1 rear? Silver springs up front and green rear? I bleed the shocks kind of like I do Losi shocks, open the bleed screw and fully compress the shock, put the bleed screw back in.
The car only slaps on BIG air.
Another thought. We run the car without an undertray. A couple guys at our track run an undertray and I think that makes the car sound like it's slapping 10 times worse than it is.

I'm not a big fan of Tekin motors. I like LRP X-12 motors, but they cog with some speed controls.
We have been running a Thunder Power 8.5 in my son's B44 and it is awesome. Geared properly 20/81 I think, maybe it's an 84 spur??? My son can run a FULL 5400 pack to cutoff and the motor temps 150*. Great powerband, and the motor has been in the car for 6 months untouched. The only thing to note is the motor smelled like it was overheated when it was new, I would temp the motor thinking it was going to be 180* and it would only be 130*. I was told the epoxy on the windings smells bad for a while. This has gone away now.
