They bought the design yes, and apparently JConcepts helped with the improvements on the B44. It seems JC will still sell the BJ4 and BJ4we - but it would certainly be cool to see them design a new car :)

I hope JConcepts keep up the good work, they have worked so hard over the years and designed the "best" car in the world.

I hope they can take things to the next level so they can say to AE, your design is old now but thanks for the cash:D

cml have no release date, my source thought end of year as there still waiting for the 8th car

Statement from JConcepts:
On July 10, TTR/Associated announced the upcoming release of the new B44. This new vehicle is based on the BJ4 Worlds Edition and was a collaborative effort between TTR/Associated and JConcepts. The B44 was a collaborative project only. JConcepts remains an independent company, and our business will not change as a result of this collaboration. Both Jason and Brad have ties with Associated going back 15+ years. This has led to a close working relationship between Associated and JConcepts on the B44. JConcepts will continue to sell the BJ4 kits, parts and accessories to support new and existing customers. Look for more new and exciting products from JConcepts to fit the B44 and all Team Associated vehicles.

I think its great how all the companies are still copying the ZXR design and moving the motor slightly forward and using shafts

You cant beat a winning design:eh?:

Sure, they both have 4 wheels and 4 shocks ! Oh, and electric power too !:p

Please eloborate on this statment, because I can't see it.

I hope this doesn't mean development of the BJ4 slows down in favor of supporting and developing the B44!! Especially after forking out for 2 new BJ4's recently!!

They will still be ace no-matter what anyone else releases ;)

Don't get me wrong, I'm more than happy with mine, including the current support for the car, and I'm sure I'll get good use out of it!! I just hope the BJ4 doesn't eventually get pushed out the market by Associated releasing such a very similar car. Only time will tell.

I see that the FAKE Welshy strikes again!! :o

REAL :rolleyes:

He he very funny. Well someone has a mental age of 5 but at least your having fun.

Nice that youve copied my picture and Yuasa comments. Kids will play

Fear not - funny as the pretend welshy was he is now sent to the sin bin and banned. Whoever it was is naughty.:mad:

It's called retail pricing, it's been around for awhile:cool:. And we all know what the price will be when we hit the streets. And the price for the B44 will be 350.00 US

finaly

Am I right in thinking this will be the first 1/10th 4wd off road buggy from Associated?

there was the mip belt drive thing based on and rc10 wasnt there?

Was that an official Associated product? My point is, back in the 80's when I was racing, there was speculation and dreams about a 4wd rc10, but I don't remember it ever appearing...

i dont know mate i remeber the pics but i think you might be right this is AEs frist 1/10th 4wd car
