That's not to say the B44.1 isn't fast - clearly, in the right hands it is very, very fast.

The FS2 is not cheap though (either to buy or in spares) and I do think it is a bit fragile - shock towers especially.

HTH
It does help thanks, at least I know Im not the only one struggling with a B44.1

I have also noticed the cost of the Kyosho parts compared to the AE as well, thats not so good....

At the end of the day though, I want to race and be competitive. I want a shaft driven 4wd that is fast and strong. The B44.1 is clearly very strong, I have given it some serious abuse and it keeps getting put back on the track and driving away unscathed. But I am struggling with the performance element.

Just a shame that the Kyosho kits are nearly £400 and the spares cost more too..... If it means I can be more competitive though....

I havent given up on the B44.1 just yet though, I will see what the verdict of the other drivers are once I have got them to test it for me.
