TEAM ASSOCIATED "B44"

[burgie]

The MIP conversion to the gold tub rc10 was NOT an official Associated release...it was a conversion for the Rc10 to make it 4wd.

When the car was reviewed in Model Car magazine, the bloke who reviewed it was well impressed with the quality of the conversion, but not as impressed as he might have been because he had to cut his lovely new gold chassis.

Apparently, when people asked him what car it was, he simply referred to it as "an MIP 4wd" prototype.

Up until this time, as most of us know, Associated have always said they will never release a 4wd buggy, so this B44 car is their first 4wd car. I do think it's a little lame of them to call it "theirs" when they have previously worked hard to ensure everybody knew that they not only had nothing to do with Jconcepts but were not even interested in the BJ4.

It doesn't put associated in a good light to my mind.
