My RC8 and B44

[pipeous]

I have the kyosho plastic spur here which I ordered from RCM. I can't say if it was just the spur I got or if all are the same, but the holes didn't line up on mine properly. I had to file the 4 corners outwards a bit each to get the screws in place. I spooled it up bench test and saw dif lube so decided to just put the stock gear back in, otherwise I am running stock combination of gearing and it has plenty of torque and lots of top speed. I will be testing it out on an actual rc track this Sunday and will know better as to gearing but I don't think I am going to worry too much about change since it'll have as good, most likely better top speed than a nitro, and for sure it has more torque. I was trying to clear both doubles at the BMX track with a short run up and only traction kept me from doing it... well and avoiding the big rocks lol

Thanks guys. The B44 is a hoot to drive. I have a XXX4 here as well that needs a new chassis, but the B44 is just so sexy. All that carbon and aluminum stock, nice easy slipper to adjust, just need an allen wrench to stuff in a hole. The one complaint I have is the motor mount. It is a real pain to adjust the motor, remove it, or change pinions. I left the 17 on last race even though a friend offered to lend me a 20 because it was a big job. We both run B44's and he understood. He was overgeared and fried his Mamba lol, Other than that, it is very durable and drives amazingly well. it's very balanced. Stock up on some front shock shafts if you buy one. The shocks are a bit exposed to front end collisions.... I lost to a Losi 8. That said, a full speed head on crash with a brushless 8th scale and that was it for damage.

ok I have the camera in my pocket and just need to charge the batteries. I'll go take some pics in a bit, then I am off to help a friend break in some rc's for the cub scouts demo we are doing this Saturday... wow I am dis lex ick today. I had to edit this a few times and there's probably still mistakes
