If you are using the box setup the car will understeer and lift the inside front wheel on corner exits on our tracks, it won't feel as 'planted' and stable as it could either

The Azarashi is mad

And if you went too far, use a sanding drum on a Dremel and take off the CA. Easy and reversible

Ooooooooooooooh it's mine indeed !!!

Yes I fitted a Tateego body shell (oOple made a repport on it during the last Worlds in Japan). It requires some mods on the main chassis plate and some little extra cuts on the body shell but it's quite an easy job to do. I think very soon, Team-Azarashi will update their website with B44 fitment how to do

If someone want further pics or details on how to do, please let me know...

I think it's more extreme. Well, it doesn't feel the same.
Cutting spike takes away front "twitchyness" () but still allows grip roll because the yellow compound is sticky enough to grip even without spikes.
Gluing the side allows the tyre to slide on hard cornering. The outside front tyre can't dig on the track and send you on 2 wheels K-2000 style

Try it. You don't have to go crazy, 5-8 mm is enough (covering the "minipin" letters on the side) and remember it's reversible with a sanding drum.

I will give it a try!

But I ordered the B44 anyway, couldn't resist

Thanks for the tip!

Got my B44 all built up now, Havent got the shell sprayed up but it now has the undertray and rear wing on. its a very nice kit to build even though i think the instruction manual isnt the greatest. Looks wicked!

I don't think there is a official dealer of Team-Azarashi in Spain so the best way to buy one should be to order it directly on www.team-azarashi.com
