well I just sold a bud the 2 2s packs I was using a Y cable for and ordered another 4s from yuntong canada. I also ordered up a saddle pack lipo for the b44 (I wanted 2 but he only had one pack left in stock, may he gets another order)

I also have this little factory team 18B with a brushless. I had an 8000 kv motor but just changed to a 6800. it's still stupid fast but at least some throttle control.

I have had zero problems with either rc, other than I made a wing for the b44. buddy lainched off my wing with his zx5 and ripped it. he broke a front arm in that collision so I guess the Associated won that round hehe. I broke a shock shaft first week on the b44 impacting with an 8th scale head on. only problems I have had and I run it a lot.

the RC8 needs little done other than shimming the center dif and putting some ca on locknuts so they don't fall out. the Golden Horizon steering top plate has worked flawlessly as I have hit a few things pretty hard and not a single problem

The B44 has a few mods, the grub screws to hold the front arm pins in is the best long term protection mod. The undertray is a spur saver. I know the ZX5 guys are buying up spurs 3 at a time, yet the way the b44 is sealed up so nice, I have little wear showing.

And my pinion looks like new still on the RC8. RCM pinions rock. I saw a Century pinion shred this weekend on an Xray buggy (I lent him an RCM pinion and it fell off. we found it, and it fell off again but was lost to the track gods)... Al should be placing another order soon Mike, he's getting me a new pinion gear hehe... got any 17's in stock? lol
