Default Why aren't B44.2's not fashionable

Out of interest, why on earth do you not see that many B44.2's? I say this because whilst everyone was talking up the DEX410V3, Yokomo Bmax3, Xray XB4 of late - and in particular the prototypes at the worlds, it was a B44.2 with an alloy chassis and a gear diff conversion that took the title. Likewise it's still Neil Cragg tha took the national title.

I am pondering on getting a 4wd car, and am rather baffled by this - anyone know whay that is the case?

There a bit like a ginger step child I guess
I lost faith when they ran a kyosho at the 1/8 worlds they shoulda had some faith In their own product

Apart from winning the worlds , i reckon Associated are in a good way at the moment.
They dont need to talk up there chassis simply because its done the task it was designed to do.

They will possibly incorporate there added items in the next kit. I.e the alloy chassis and geared diffs.

The talk at the moment is of the up and coming models from Losi....and so on . This does detract from the Associated camp somewhat.

I run a B44.1 , and happily may i add. The B44.2 im sure is a great car.

So in a nutshell , you pays your money and take your choice.

there were loads running at York this week and last, Neil Cragg, Rich Lowe, Greg Williams plus a few club racers. depends where you run and who the local top drivers are I guess?
Most are running gear diff's and ali chassis now.

Default I must confess

I have a bit of a soft spot for the Associated. How much are the geared diffs? Not only that, but are geared diffs the only way to go these days?
