Yeah, on medium and high grip tracks, we prefer shocks at the front.
Basically, use shocks at the rear on medium and high grip tracks causes too much understeer out of corners and a big loss of time.

That's the reason why shocks at the rear are most of the time combined with an antiroll bar to make the rear more "pivoting" coming out of corners.
This is better on bumpy tracks too.

What they said :thumbsup:

It's a very useful tuning option and very easy to do by flipping B44 shock tower mount ;)

Hi all,

we're proud to show you few spyshots of the first MiD44 09 prototype.
The MiD44 08 had all weight moved forward about 20mm from the original B44.
The MiD44 09 is now 8mm forward from a B44.
The goal of this new design was to keep the same centre of gravity than the MiD 08 nimh with the use of Lipo batteries.
You can see that we have extra holes for the batteries at the rear, to allow the possibilty to add weight on the rear end.
The rear centre CVA is from a rear wheel, and the front cente CVA is the rear centre of a Bmax4.
I will fit electronics this evening and make lipo trays & straps this WE.

I like the new design. One thing though...I don't care for the cutouts for weight under the batteries? I would think a solid or milled chassis would be better. A milled chassis with liPo cradles would be the best thing to do. For added weight have drilled and tapped weight that can be screwed in under the rear center CVA. This would make adjusting the amount of weight easier plus you could move the weight forward or back to adjust to different track conditions. This would take the Mid44 (lipo) to a whole new level on offroad.
