[benchin86]

i would like to ask if shaft driven is better or belt driven for bashing?

[The51734]

b44 is the best copy of cyclone d4.that  suks!!!

[roadrunner6903]

yea there is. the losi triple x 4wd buggy can hold 7cells.

[gizman1979]

i dig the b44, but im not a lipo fan. i love running the INTELLECT 7 cell batt. there r no 4wd buggy kit that hold a 7 cell. IS THERE ANY WAY, OR GOOD WAY TO STICK A SEVEN CELL IN THERE?

[blue2456]

with a vector brushless and lipo...

definatley not 40mph add like 25

[ffbartlett]

does this come assembled or do u have to assemeble the whole kit?

[YaLikePopsicles]

can u buy it rtr

[GTOsixOhh]

they dont come in RTR

[GTOsixOhh]

i love my B44, easily one of the best kits i have ever had..im running a Novak 4.5T Velociti motor, Novak GTB unlimited ESC,3+3 4200mAH pack..

[brownballer4lyf]

seems like a descentt set up

how's it speed?

and b44 defiantely pwn ass

[GTOsixOhh]

with just the 6 cell 4200mAH its screams! im making a custom 7 and 8 cell sling shot packs. im actually getting another b44 kit to bash

[Al3xis007]

dude my mate is a jc/ae worlds factory team driver, he would know whats going on.

as far as its a good car.... maybe on a flat smooth track but its no way an ae car.

search for 'RC Cars (gurtmint)'

[Al3xis007]

the dude says 'some new steering geometry' and 'rear bumper'. he's talking about the mods ae did on the bj4 cause they couldn't use the LOSI spindles and carriers!!!!!!!!!!! wakey wakey lol

[B44501xRacerEX]

Best Associated Buggy I ever built!

I have been a hardcore fan for years,

and this car handles like a dream come true!

[brownballer4lyf]

u kinda stole the words out of my mouth bro, this bug does rock ass...

its amazing, i mean ive never driven anything this great, honestly, lol i love mine, str8

[Al3xis007]

this is just a bj4! as much as i love ae they just bought the bj4 design. jconcepts did all the hard work!!!! oh good luck over the bumps if ur racing in the UK!

[brownballer4lyf]

haha

there are ways to get over the bumps, in fact with my T4 i love bumps :D

2wd oit may be, drives liek a 4wd with new hop ups..

mite put up a new vid on soon..

but yeah, i dont beleive AE bought out any designs.. they spend way too much time n money on the designs and cars to be stealin desings, u know?

well u mite have heard wat u heard, but being a true AE fan, kinda hard for me to beleive, lol

[swadv5555]

I have one with a mamba max 5700 and it is so fun, it only took me about four days to build too.

[brownballer4lyf]

dude....

MM5700kv system rocks ass....

love it on my T4, tamiya drifters..

modded monster truck (nitro -> electric convcerted)

but yeah on my MT i got 2 of these MM5700kv systems, lol omg no niotro hauls more ass then it.. lol

esp with liek 2 lips ... 3s 8000mah, swoosh!

[001196]

cant w8 till i get mine novak spectrum gtb 4.5 light brushless motor it gunna be sweet

[brownballer4lyf]

lol brushless own man..

how much u pay for it?

[001196]

bought 650 including brushless but no servo or radio gear

[brownballer4lyf]

but yeah, its AE though! lol

ur paying for the *smarts* they put into it :D

[001196]

about 250 us

[DARKSCOPE001]

god associateds new cars make me wish sometimes i wasnt a losi die hard. at my local track its like all b4s vs. my one losi xxx-cr. and the b44 is deadly in 4wd open. and since its ae. parts are cheap and easy to find. this car is beautiful. if i knew how to drive i might get one lol.

[brownballer4lyf]

lol

yeah, they are so darn beautiful...

[6650roger]

oh yeah and I got the new 7.4v 4400mah saddle lipo and graphite batt tie downs and im getting runtimes of 35 mins or better. Im going faster than the other b44s with the 5.5 novak system and 6 cell batteries. And I got the 8.5 novak. There all jealous.LOL

[brownballer4lyf]

lol i bet...

[001196]

only because ur voltage output is higher

[6650roger]

my first time at the track and i swear the car drives itself. Or I got natural talent.LOL

[brownballer4lyf]

lol either both man, AE rocks

[6650roger]

What brushless system would you recommend. And does it include a tseering servo or no. I was thinking novak xbr sport 8.5 would be fine.

[brownballer4lyf]

depends wat you gonna run that brushless system in...

and iunno, i would never purchase a novak for majority of the purposes because they aretoo expensive for the features they provide, i mean they are cool no doubt, they have sum nifty features, and quite sturdy and durable but they are kinda "chunky" for th eprice, so for most purposes i would recoment 'castle creations', sometimes 'quark' or 'tekin' or even 'kontronik' sometimes...

maybe even team orion, but depends...

[6650roger]

the b44. Duhh.LOL and I love my novak system. Works great and was only 170 and does 40+

[brownballer4lyf]

well does it take lipos?

the mamba max is under $200..or round about..

and for the b44 the castle creation's mamba max 5700kv would be th ebest, thats wat i have for mt T4, and it owns ultimate ass on my 4wd tamiya buggy..

and mine in my T4 pulled off mid 30mph's (34~36) with a 6 cell 1700 nicads, lol, so with lipos they can pull off 70+...

[6650roger]

yes only 7.2v lipos H though. and only 7 cell 8.4v nimh. But still fast enough for me. Ive trailed it in my car at 45MPH on 8.4v 4200mah t-energy bett

[brownballer4lyf]

ooh..

nice

[6650roger]

Well I picked up the b44 for 320 now I just need a receiver,battery, novak 12g wire and its done. I figure you can only run a saddle 3by3 pack so im going to stick with my 8.5 novak for now. I figure it will do about 35+ with a 6 cell pack. also which is plenty fast for my local track.funny but I purchased dirt hawg buggy tires for it.they look awsome.there For the spring when my street is clean and I want to race my neighbor.

[brownballer4lyf]

lol

sweet

[fathead431]

no steering servo with it. i reccomenda feigao motor a NEU1515 motor, or mamba max. u could get lrp brushless butthere not the best

[6650roger]

I got the novak xbr sport 8.5 and airtronics 100$ steering servo. I stuck with my jr radio and reciever for now.Almost together. A couple more days. I still need to build the batt pack and glue the tires

[brownballer4lyf]

novak's all rite,

i like jr...

looks like u got a descent one...

[brownballer4lyf]

yeah, i would go with mamba all the way...

[6650roger]

It went from the tamiya frog to this. WoW. Lets see the frog keep up now tamiya.LOL

[brownballer4lyf]

hahhaah

frog's and tamiya's are the best for beginners...

but htne its like worth $1 once u get into bashing..

racing on-road is pretty good with tamiya

[brownballer4lyf]

losi sucks balls

it is like a peice fo shit dat a horse at and then it shat again and then ate dat shit and then shit again..

lol

losi sukgs beral, and AE is the best u can get , str8 pro class...

[jjmazee]

SWEET! I am going to try and wait for the T44! BROWNBALLA you sound like a mad scientist! lol!

[brownballer4lyf]

hahahaha

mad, maybe.....

scientist, i liek to beleive so....

now only if i can get a funder for this 'mad' scientist...

lol

[95666]

damn, nice.

[brownballer4lyf]

sooo siiikkKK!!

i anan get the T44 conversion kit once they come out with the T44

:D

[95666]

oh yeah that would be cool,

[brownballer4lyf]

how long u think till they come out with it?

[95666]

a T44? i have no idea.

[brownballer4lyf]

hopefully in a few months, they better, lol

or i was even thinkin of making my own version, like have da T4's gearbox in da front as well.., and put in sum tamiya shafts...

i kind of have a lil plan... :D

[95666]

idk if he was right or not, but the tech dude at hobbytown usa said these are ft tc3's with longer arms and suspension.

[brownballer4lyf]

ohh..

hmm, i wonder if i jus put in the tc3's gearbox's and shatfs into my T4...??
