My new b44!

[Benjab]

Hello! This is my new secondhand b44! He said i would get a few nimh saddle packs but i didn't get them It came without electronics and my vxl esc is too big so im gonna buy a new one (maybe 60a ezrun).

I think its really hard to install servo and motor. Ive tried 10t bl carson motor, vxl esc and a nicad 1800 mah battery that i made into a saddle pack. Pretty slow and it started to snow but it feels good! Enough text watch my pics. They are pretty bad because its dark and i used a webcam!

I think you'll find that there's plenty of room in there for most electronics. How are you laying yours out? This is how I do mine, I think it's a pretty common way of doing it.

Note that you can use the stock aerial mount in the corner - the plastic is soft enough that threading in the 4-40 screw is no prob. Also, make sure that you can still see the programming lights on your esc if poss. I also like to put the switch under the "cheeks" of the body, since you can reach in and switch the car on or off easily w/o removing the body.

Cheers and good luck w/ the new ride!

Emergency funds to buy a victory Coke!

Nah, it's to bring the car up to 1588g...

How heavy is the coin. Like 5g'?

Nah, its a pound fifty!! Reminds me of the olden day when we used to weight up cars with coins.

Each weighs half a pound of course...

actually, it seems 1p and 2p coins are the best value: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coins_o...Specifications

THank you! I sanded a little bit of the plastic on the esc so now i doesn't hit the spur gear! Now my layout is exactly like yours! But my switch is build into the esc so i have to remove the body to turn it on and off.

The car has proline wheels and schumacher mini pins, but the wheels are wobbling (i think its called wobbling) so the car is shaking a bit. Can i solve this problem? I dont have a wheel balancer...

And where can i get some onroad tires/wheels for the b44? Ive tried 1/10 TC wheels but the rim is to small so its hitting the a arms.

Good to hear you've got your electrics all sorted out. Nice!

Just logically look at all the various parts to figure out where the wobbling is coming from. One thing to double-check is to make sure that the ballstuds for the upper links are nice and snug on the decks. Use blue locktite! If they are loose, you're soon to break your deck, and the wheels will move all over the place. (learned the hard way!)

I wouldn't worry about balancing wheels too much - jsut make sure that when you mount the wheels the foams aren't bunched up or anything and you should be generally okay. Your mileage may vary, though..

For running on the street, you could look into a set of Dirt Hawgs, but in all honesty just run your minipins down and run them for bashing on pavement, since you've already got them.

Cheers,

Okay. THanks alot! But i cant remove/install my pinion gear without removing the blue battery post (i think its called) And i cant remove the post without removing the undertray! Is my pinion gear way too "long"

Its also impossible to adjust the servo screws! I have to remove the upper deck and its still hard! How do you tighten the servo screws?
