Big G 25-11-2010 07:42 PM

gnr racer 25-11-2010 07:45 PM

Is it worth the money?? for what it is

KRob 25-11-2010 07:56 PM

The B44.1 isn't in the UK yet but will here soon
Should be middle to end of next week :-)

jamiew 25-11-2010 08:21 PM

Was gonna pre order one from je spares but think there all taken.

anyone no of anyone thats got any pre orders free??

markwilliamson2001 25-11-2010 11:00 PM

Apart from the v2 shocks, mine is almost a b44.1 anyway, so I am not going to bother parting with any money :woot:

I also havent got on with the new motor mount, which while being much more secure, I found it much harder to set the mesh. Not knocking the product as such, it just didnt suit my method of working!

Good luck with your choice :thumbsup:

I was not aware that CML had sold out of their first allocation/shipment, we added more to our own first delivery earlier this week to ensure we have free (available) stock when they arrive without any problems, give us a call if you are stuck finding one available

NitroArgi 26-11-2010 07:25 AM

Yeap!
 
I got mine late last week...haven't start building yet but there are some new features that I like with the car.

Setup is different with heavier oils and 81 middle spur, lipo chassis is narrower in front and loved the blue anodized screws

Other than that the new manual is an upgradr but shocks, slipper are just like my B4.1 and the quality in B44.1 seems a little bit better....loved the Punisher shell up close!

If you need anything else (pics etc) let me know

Regards
Argi

NitroArgi 26-11-2010 10:35 AM

Plus it makes sense to just sell your "old" B44 and add some cash to get the updated one...I did the math and for me it was cheaper to buy the B44.1 instead upgrading my 2 year old B44 to the new specs

stuey 26-11-2010 02:24 PM

I just bought a B44 off a fellow Oopler, has lots of upgrades already on the car. The only thing that looks much different for me is drilling 2 new servo mount holes, and changing to a 81 spur. Luckily for me anyway! What seems a bit strange is that the Punisher shell will only come with the kit, so how will you get a new one once the kit one needs replacing???
Not that I want one, think its fugly personally but each to their own :thumbsup:

NitroArgi 26-11-2010 04:14 PM

JConcepts will sell the Punisher shell seperately...however it will NOT fit the B44 since the front part of the carbon chassis is narrower in the B44.1

We are still taking pre-order from the 1st batch, as KRob quoted, due mid to late next week.

Sweet, thanks for posting the link.

frefon 27-11-2010 03:19 PM

the rear of B44.1' chassis is it narrower (lipo cells are centered als steering servo)?
Can you post some pics to see difference between old and new chassis
thanks

bondy 27-11-2010 07:33 PM

Sorry ! my intention wasnt and never is to make anyone look like a fool.
:bored: smiley faces and lol's meant it was in jest. not making a fool out of any one.

anyway my apologies !!!!!! :blush:

MHeadling 01-12-2010 11:36 AM

I pity the fool! :woot:

Anyway can we have some more build pics NitroArgi :thumbsup:

Big G 01-12-2010 01:30 PM

I obviously can't speak for CML or anyone else, but in my business we say products will be in mid-november and they just got sent out yesterday. things get delayed through bad weather or misrouted shipments. loads of reasons.

what difference does it make if now it's here or not. you can't buy it from CML so you will need to place an order through a shop such a MK Racing or DMS Racing. Many more shops will be stocking the kit. These shops will be receiving their stock today/tomorrow/Friday...

Like Wezzer has already said he has no idea who you spoke to who told you they weren't on the boat. Obviously it wasn't him. Making posts on public forums demanding a phone call back or an apology won't get you anywhere.

They probably will eventually. Associated make a chassis film sheet. Part number is #9787.

I was actually lying all along just to cause a big fuss, it's all my fault.

Everybody happy now?

Good :)

This will be my last post on Oople.

See ya.

Stop teasing, wheres the rest?

GRIFF55 01-12-2010 09:15 PM

Isn't that an undertray in agri's b44.1 box?

KRob 01-12-2010 09:28 PM

Don't worry, an undertray is included.

Unfortunately as it's a JConcepts part it is not available as an Associated part number...

But don't worry about that either because an undertray comes with the Proline Bulldog shell so just get one of those and you're sorted :thumbsup:
