Does the b44 suck that much?

[hummer11]

I was looking for a new buggy il really want the b44 for a carbon buggy $300 is good vs $300 for a lazer zx-5 sp. everyone says the b44 breaks too much. if you are and expearinced driver and you drive the cars the same way will they still break?

I built one saturday and my mate raced it today. Took a good few knocks, all in it's stride!! I had a go after the final and it seemed a very nice stable car to drive. For the money it is one hell of an out of the box racer. All i would suggest getting as an option is a front one way.
Hope this helps?

I've heard it's a rear top deck per run....... LOL ... but only in some peoples hands.

The ZX5-SP is pretty built proof and for my money handles better.

Pay's your money and takes your choice!!!

exactly where does the uppder deck break. if it is the ball stud cant you get a longer one and put a big washer on wither side?

Despite having a box full of spares I haven't yet broken anything on my B44 (touch wood).

hes tlkin about me. it breaks round the ballstuds. its the way the carbon fibre is created, it breaks down the reave of it. just rips it clean off. but ya can get stronger ones. the car is great so stable. but i would recomend some of the improvements to the build that ppl are making. such as the front hunge pins. and a front one way.

I have been running the B44 since December. I must say it is rather fragile. Last Saturday I went through 2 front arms AND 2 front bulkheads, that seems a little excessive. Never got to finish a race, no fun at all...so much so that I came home and started to put all my associated stuff on eBay so I could switch out. Not sure there is a better alternative to the 44, although the new HPI Hot Bodies D4 WCE looks pretty good, but not out till May. Some early reports talks about arm and shock tower breaks though. Just can't win...

LOL Andy youre my hero .. The X11 seems ace soo far to me

for the thread to be started it already seems that there is an issue with the B44 .. Stop being tight and just buy a BJ4WE if youre going to buy either ....
