The rear top deck is a known weak spot on the car and Associated have acknowledged on RC Tech that they will be changing this to be stronger, they are also looking at releasing new front arms and pins that do not use the chassis to hold the pins in.

people have also been breaking the front shock shafts but no one has them in stock at the moment, you can adjust the B4 shafts to fit the right length though.

DC can't the B44 till the end of the month, and no other shop bar apex has them... But apex want 240

so I'm waiting on cml and DC

Where can I get a front one-way and what difference will it make?

if not dms-racing has them for £215 and p&p is only around £5

Just a quickie for those who know, what would be the best pinion for an 81t spur and a 9*2 brushed motor on the B44 for indoors, for tracks like yorcc and batley

So you buy the kit and then have to go and buy the extra parts to stop it breaking?!

The new front arm are more a cosmetic change as you can do that yourself by using a set screw to plug the a-arm and shorten the pins as most of the team drivers do.
The top decks are indeed an issue but i think there will be an running change because they have only to change the design slightly.
The breaking shafts should be caused by the hardening, and the non-availability could show that the are already "made new".

Sorry, I was very grumpy that day!
I'll mod my wishbones (does anyone know what size screw is needed) and try not to break anything else.

M3 or 4-40 set screws as used in pinions will do the job,
