Default Buy now or wait????

Ive finally saved enough cash to buy a shiny new B44 but have been put off little with reports of weak rear top decks and new front wishbone designs etc. Will A|ssociated be bringing out an updated kit soon with these improved parts or will they just be upgrades? I guess what I want to know is shall I just go and buy one now or wait a month to see what happens? Your opinions are appreciated!:confu sed:

since i bought the b44 4 week ago i don't regret it, i love it
as i know parts been breakage and replaced and that natural.
Since i had the b44 i have not broken front or rear shock tower even tho i got spare part for it and not broken any since i got b44

One thing i am surprise is there is alot of b44 racing last sunday at teesside i never saw a a broken b44 while i was marshall for my team

i am sure someone will have a say about b44

Thanks. Any other b44 owners have a say? I really want to get one ordered but just need a bit more convincing!

front wishbone are just an 'ease of use' thing, the BJ4 used the same method as the curren B44 system and thats fine, still is fine.

I have a feeling that the top deck breaks are coming from the balls working theirselves loose and this generating extra force.

check them often, add some threadloc maybe, also use a washer with a bigger diameter if you want to space it out.

Thumbs up

Get one bought mate. Dont mess about. I got mine at launch and have raced at 8 or 9 meetings. Only cracked one front shock tower so far! Nothing else has broken. Its a really good kit. I'd reccomend it to anyone. I have enough spares to build another car but dont seem to need them so far. Oh, and it handles better than all the other 4wd buggies I've owned.
