what he means is that you could actually buy the same car.

the other ones in front were either discontinued or prototype... no idea who was driving the proto

I didn't forget about the S4. I was just sighting examples of competitive cars that have the shocks mounted up front. The S4, BX Worlds, XX4, X-5, etc. are all good cars with the shocks at the back.

I did notice that the S44 has the shocks mounted up front.

Rich L, we gotta have words! That was meant to be a secret test!

It did feel different, but I wouldn't say it was better or worse so I went back to the kit set up after that final.

You noticed that 1 of the S44's has the shocks mounted up front the other 2 S44's currently built have Losi shocks hanging out the back The kit has been cleverly designed to allow either option to be used, you can even swap back and forth in minutes if you wish.

Oh, and there B44's with Atomic Carbon upgrades we're not supposed to call them S44... Ooops I just did it again

Huum just like the new 'YOKOMO" shocks are mounted that way also,heard the car is very different to drive that way!

im thinking of buying an s4, would it make a big difference if i used AE shocks and mounted them on the front of the wishbones rather than the rear?
