Default MiD44 09 Spec is born!!

Hi all,

we're proud to show you few spyshots of the first MiD44 09 prototype.
The MiD44 08 had all weight moved forward about 20mm from the original B44.
The MiD44 09 is now 8mm forward from a B44.
The goal of this new design was to keep the same centre of gravity than the MiD 08 nimh with the use of Lipo batteries.
You can see that we have extra holes for the batteries at the rear, to allow the possibilty to add weight on the rear end.
The rear centre CVA is from a rear wheel, and the front cente CVA is the rear centre of a Bmax4.
I will fit electronics this evening and make lipo trays & straps this WE.

Will it be avalible thru Azarashi aswell? Looks really nice! This chassis is more flexible than the original one, is it not? I am thinking of the splitt top decks.

Looks like there is plenty more space for the electrics on this one than the 08. The old kit definatly made a great difference to my B44 and I would recommend anyone with a B44 to get one

Go on - use ALL the parts from the B-MAX4! Would love to see how a MiDMAX handled.

So, yesterday evening I've mounted all the electronics in the car.
It looks nice!! Battery trays and straps are for this WE if I manage to pluck up courage!! (I hate working the C/F!! ;-)

It certainly does! How much will it be and do you get shock towers etc?

We're only making prototypes. If tests are good and if Azarashi decides to put them into production...
You never know, but that won't happen before a few months at least.

I like the new design. One thing though...I don't care for the cutouts for weight under the batteries? I would think a solid or milled chassis would be better. A milled chassis with liPo cradles would be the best thing to do. For added weight have drilled and tapped weight that can be screwed in under the rear center CVA. This would make adjusting the amount of weight easier plus you could move the weight forward or back to adjust to different track conditions. This would take the Mid44 (lipo) to a whole new level on offroad.
