If you say what motor you have, i can give you a ball park range. Spur teeth is handy too, but stock spur im sure is 81 or 84 teeth.

Hi Danny, thanks for the reply. Im currently using speed passion reventon pro setup (blue esc/6.5T motor). So i guess having a 19T pinion should be alright then.

Ye but it will be on the slow side for top end if the track is large. You really want a 20 and 21 at least, to give you options. The 19 will be fine on smaller tracks though.

Has anyone use aftermarket bearings set for their B44.2? If so, is it better and any recommendations? Thanks...

A friend of mine swears by the high quality ceramics. I just cant justify it, I'd sooner just change them when one goes bad for sake of 50p or so.

Thanks for the tips guys. Will be getting the Avid bearing when my stock bearing is due for a change. Anyways i finally built my B44.2 and got it to my local track last weekend. Boy...does it run great. I used to run my SCT but running the B44.2 is totaly different ball game. Steering are smooth and it respond great. I did took out the roll bar and it perform better. Going to change the shock oil to abit lighter ones when i get back to the track.

what alternative none leaky shock o-rings are you guys using?


was going to get some whities , but £5 postage on a £4 item seems a bit silly to me

so what other options are there?

Could always get some associated O-rings and just leave them in shock oil overnight......the O-rings will soak up some off the oil and expand in size

When orings are swollen due to that is when you should change them as they are adding 'sticktion'
