yes b44 wishbones fit te bj4 with slight amount of dremmle work. i percenly changed to tamiya 501 front wishbones because alot stronger

All the shocks parts are direct fit, diffs and diff gears/pinions are the same, B44 front and rear driveshafts fit, rear wishbones are identicle, front wishbones do fit but the inner part of the wishbone where it fits onto the front bulkhead needs to be cut down abit to fit, fronts hubs and castor blocks fit, most bearings are the same and thats about it i think.

Almost Mike, the rear shocks are the same, the B44 fronts have longer shafts - BJ4 shafts are from the B4. Rear wishbones need a little material taking away same as the fronts to clear the bottom of the gearbox case, unless you do as I do and remove a tiny bit from the gearbox then B4/44 arms go straight on.
I'm running B44 caster and steering blocks on my BJ4 now, they are a worthwhile upgrade :)

all you have to do with the B44 shafts though is add 3mm of internal preload spacing then there the same length travel as B4 shafts if theres no B4 shafts around :D then you have the option of more travel if the driveshafts arn't going to pop out?

You just got the rest of the B44 parts to buy now to complete it into a B44 and it'll be dialled ;):D:lol:

Quiet Pink-Diddy :p :D

Hi Richard,

Do you have a list of parts required to put the B44 caster blocks etc on a BJ4 please?

Jeff Is it not just #9720 for the caster blocks and #9722 for the steering arms...???

Hope so cos thats wot ive just fitted....

Also toying with the 501x front wishbone mods... the pros are they are stong as out but are there any cons does anyone know...????

I'll look up the part numbers for you, it is just the caster block, steering block and the bushes that go in the steering block you need ;)

AS9785.... is this the cradle that will fit lipos in the bj4we?

Just use your Dremel and slot the JC battery trays, its worked great for us.

What packs are you running?

If they're soft cased you can modify the existing plastic tray's as Andy says to fit. If you're using Trakpower's I'd suggest the Diggity Designs saddle braces, thats what hold my Trakpower's in ;)

The AE tray for the B44 (if thats what you linked, the link doesn't work btw ;) ) should fit in theory, although I've not seen a BJ4 with one fitted.

Oh I like that Diggity designs brace. Can you get that in the UK, if so any idea where?

Well, I havent commited to buying my lipo packs just yet, still trying to decide which ones to buy... ... decisions decisions.!!! :confused:

I need stick and saddle, stick for the x-6 and saddle for the bj. Any recommendations (i know this isnt the thread fto be asking this question really)

Why are they worthwhile ?

On the steering block for instance, I don't understand why replace an rigid/precise aluminium steering with a b44 plastic one ?

more flex = less stress on other parts, less likely to break other parts...

So I guess you don't believe into all these blue alloy FT upgrades for some structural parts(like the optional FT B44 alloy caster block)

nope, if you start buying blue alloy bling parts the stress is just passed over to other parts that in most cases cost more to replace when they break! I've never broken a plastic hub/steering block on my car.

Less unsprung weight, less slop and as Mike said less stress on other components if you hit something ;)

anyone know if the front bumper of the B44 (as9718) is compatible with that of bj4we? Thank you

It doesn't fit

could work the B4's? I never saw the front bumper as a original spare by jconcept ...

Manual says AE 9562, would be B4/T4 Front Bumper

B44 hinge pin brace
 

Hi
Does anybody knows if the Hinge pin brace (associated 9717)from the B44 fits the BJ4we?:confused:

Anibal

just picked up a worlds edition with some well stange shocks on, I have a full set of B4 FT shocks, will they work?

Pete. You need AE 6417 Rear and AE 6418 Front. Not sure what the B4 are.

The Rear of BJ4 is 1.03 and B4 is 1.02 and front is the same as the B4. Ive just looked it up so they should be fine.

you might need just the b44 front spring platforms to raise the springs up on the front.
have you got a pic of these weird shocks?

Ohh yes, be on soon, they look decent, but arent right for this car. Got to be worth a couple of quid to someone. Just hope someone can ID them

Chris, love the car mate, what were those numbers (1.02) etc about?

Griff, what do the spring platforms look like?

The numbers are the lengths of the shocks that you need to be the same as the BJ4. The fronts are the same as a B4 however the B4 Rear shock is smaller than the BJ4 by 0.1 of a mm. The lengths i have quoted are from the thread to the top of the shaft.
Offset spring cups

If im wrong please somebody correct me. :lol:

thats the boys!!

I hate to sound like stampo, but, why would i need to raise the springs up?

Its Stampy......:lol:

You get more scope to raise and lower ride heights as the springs that you will be using are short i think. Rich Lowe will be along shortly to confirm!!

The Associated springs are fairly short and the bottom spring cup would hit the wishbone when running more droop at the front if you weren't using the raised spring cups.

so just order some b44 cups from M K on monday? lol

its a shame about the shocks that are on it ...... lovely and smooth! lol

got some you can have F.O.C pete..

Cheers ben!

The shock bodies on the B4, B44 and BJ4 are all the same, the rear shafts are the same too. The B4 and BJ4 use the same front shock shafts, the B44's fronts are a touch longer.

The raised spring cups are indeed to give you a greater range of adjustment, you can get away with the standard ones but you will be right at the bottom of the threads ;)
