haha, chill out everyone! lets get this back on to the B44!

When is it out here? I assume CML get them via some sort of boat scenario rather than airmail?

I have to say, the price over here is great.

ashleyb4 08-11-2007 11:56 PM

Sorry sir i wont do it again sir! :(:(

A:p:D

bigred5765 09-11-2007 12:00 AM

they have made a little metal oring thing, that goes over the cvd pin to stop them popping out, couldnt see it propperly but it looked a good idea

God i wish they would use a faster boat :D

Just looking at the steering rack, it doesn't seem to be angled at all, it looks parallel to the chassis.

i have never had a car that has gone 2gtr so easily. no filing. no rough edges. its such a good build. shame about the instructions though could do with a little work just to make them abit easier to understand.

HKP 09-11-2007 10:24 PM

I just looked at the instructions which you can download from AE. they do look shockingly poor, the BJ4 instructions are much better, hell even the RC10 Mk.1 instructions were better.

Too many CAD renders and not enough words IMO.

IceMike 09-11-2007 11:08 PM

ashleyb4 09-11-2007 11:36 PM

Col 10-11-2007 09:21 AM

probably quicker than waiting for the car to arrive from the uk...

IceMike 10-11-2007 10:14 AM

im not sayin its a useless car. im just sayin the book is wrong when it comes to making them

Lee 10-11-2007 10:40 AM

IceMike 10-11-2007 10:41 AM

I cant make one up Mike, Ash has the soldering iron. I can bring cells but you will need a DC/DC convertor or Geni to use Ash's soldering iron. I will bring the flux, bars wire etc.

Ash, you can come in the Gazebo as long as you promise to never again say you love me.

k£v!n 10-11-2007 05:50 PM

I went down with Mike today to compare it with my BJ4, it handles a lot better than my BJ4 and jumps like a dream where as mine keeps bottoming out! I really like the look of it, and the slipper is cool :D

ryan 10-11-2007 06:10 PM

I dont think i can wait tell Tuesday:(

Well, it has the same suspension geometry, weight distribution, shocks, diffs, etc. However, the label on the box makes a huge difference. :wtf:

Bigwrenn 10-11-2007 07:16 PM

If he's comparing it to a regular BJ4 then there is a difference ;).

k£v!n 10-11-2007 07:24 PM

I’m comparing it to my BJ4WE, which doesn’t use the world’s best setup, however the B44 looked ‘glued’ to the track more than my BJ4 and was able to handle better around the corners. However like I say this is my BJ4 we are talking about :D

IceMike 10-11-2007 07:31 PM

nice kev very expanitory. its a bj4 worlds so no a big difference in cars. but its just a smoother car. the new servo saver takes the brunt off clippin corners and gives taht little play that the bj4 lacked. one minor weakness i have found so far is that when runnin around our tack the spall hole in the chassis where the spur is picked something up and was a horrible noise to hear when you know there isnt any parts in the uk. if anyone wants to come and have a look 2m at kiddy they are more than welcome. just please when we are all on the track leave it alone i dont wnana break it. lol :P

k£v!n 10-11-2007 07:34 PM

The fact that my car spent more time in the pits being fixed than on the track racing with the B44 I didn’t have much to talk about :D

Lee 10-11-2007 08:01 PM

What did you break on it?

The car is bomb proof:o

IceMike 10-11-2007 08:04 PM

which car is bomb proof, i broke the b44 abit lol :P the arial tube is so brittle

Lee 10-11-2007 08:06 PM

The BJ4 WE is bomb proof.

In a year of running it i have done 2 rear wishbones, thats it, and hat was through my stupidity both times:D

IceMike 10-11-2007 08:07 PM

haha only 2, this past year i have gone thought a total of 20 in one order and a few more at tracks taht i had to get. plus the other bits and bobs
