getting the b44 to flex

[branstonpickle]

hi need to get my b44 to have some more flex to help on slippery low grip polished tracks is the best way to get more flex to cut the top decks on the join points or have people found outher ways to add more flex thx

Personally I run the chassis as stiff as possible and let the suspension do the work, but I guess you could make some top decks out of thinner / more flexible material like GRP if you wanted?

do you use the 1-piece lipo cradle.
if so change it for the b44.1 cradle that will give more flex

yes it has the one piece brass cradle and brass straps was thinking of removing all the brass from the car

The cradle was made to stiff up the car
On my old b44 I brought the new b44.1 cradle and I got the b44.1 ballast weight and I drilled two hole into the chassis to fit the ballast and this makes the handel SOOO much better because the weight is in the middle

When i started running my b44.1 i found that they was plenty of flex.
When i ran it indoors on a low grip shiny floored surface i noticed that i did not require anymore flex but as nick is saying about the cradle i have never used one before, but i have never noticed the lack of flex due to the fact i have always run mine outdoors and never required more or less flex.

I use the b44.1 because Of the new chassis it has alot less flex and it is better indoors and outdoors

I cut the slats out of the top decks, and milled slots in the middle of the chassis.

Also seperated the battery cradle to make it 2 piece

Its so much more forgiving when it flexes.

slats are cut and have put some o rings under the top deck for some added flex seems to twist a lot more now but will need to put it on the track to see if it has all worked
