I can get these wheels in denmark: http://www.morfars.dk/rc/wheelset-bu...ml?language=en

Do you know if they are any good?
Is the suspension wobbly at all? Check those upper ball studs in the chassis plates - if they are loose, the upper link will move around quite a bit and amplify the problems you're describing. Loose ball studs will also break your upper decks pretty soon, so it's worth double-checking.

It's possible that the foams are bunched up or something like that inside your wheels, or that the wheels just aren't round anymore. Hmm. Try turning them slowly by hand and see if they are round or not by watching gap between the inner rim and a suspension link or something. If they are wonky - you should be able to spot that pretty easily.

Unfortunately, I don't think those wheels will help you, as the fronts for sale are 12mm hex drive - and the b44 uses a 3/8 inch (about 9.5mm) hex.

B44 front axles are compatible with front wheels designed for Losi and some Tamiya 4wd cars (those for the Durga, Baldre, and 5..x cars - possibly others?).

"Real" Associated B44 front wheels, however are not compatible with the cars I'd mentioned above since the B44 hex is a bit "thicker" than the ones on the other cars. Thus, the B44 wheels have a slightly "deeper" recess for the hex to fit into.

Keep looking...

Cheers,
Ty
