This is the Team Associated B44.2 Factory Team 4WD Buggy Kit. The B44 is a race proven platform with two I.F.M.A.R. World Championships and four R.O.A.R. National titles under its belt and the B44.2 Factory Team kit is an example of Team Associated taking advantage of every opportunity to maximize the potential of this 4WD buggy. The biggest change found on the B44.2 is the Factory Team 12mm Big Bore hard-anodized shocks. The shocks feature threaded shock bodies with pre-load collars, machined aluminum shock caps with bleed screws, and are completed with TiN Gold 3mm shock shafts. The end result is a 12mm shock that delivers a plush and compliant ride that keeps the B44.2s tires planted on the ground regardless of the surface.
The B44.2 also received an updated 2.5mm carbon-fiber chassis that is 8mm longer and 3mm narrower than the previous model. This not only improves stability and overall handling of the B44.2 but also accommodates the awesome quick-change LiPo battery mounting system, and VTS multi-plate slipper assembly. The Area 51 engineers have once again pushed the B44 past the limit, while everyone else is just trying to keep up. If youre ready to step up your 4WD program, the B44.2 is ready for you! Features:
