Default Which bodyshell for B44?

At the moment I have the standard shell on my B44 and it only just clears the fan on top of my Novak GTB. In fact if you lightly touch the shell above the fan you can hear it rubbing.

So, can anyone recommend a shell that has more height to clear the fan?
Would the D4 shell fit & is it taller or are the J concepts, Azarashi shells the ones to get?

Thanks

Where have you mounted your speedo mate? behind the servo or infront of the motor?

Just back the outer mounting screws for the fan out a couple of revolutions. The body will then be stopped by the screws before it touches the fan

The D4 shell fits easily (use it myself)

Speedo is behind the servo.

Good idea about backing the screws off, but does the D4 shell give you more clearance anyway?
Thanks

I think so, but not 100% sure. i guess it will depend a bit on where you place the ESC. Should in any case be no biggie.

Good luck!
