depends what equipment you have and what level you want to race at
the xxx4 will accept a stick pack battery the B44 will only accept a saddle pack battery config but will perform better on the track (especially if there is any kind of bump on the track) |

Where will you be racing it? How many people there race each car?
If more people drive a certain model, then you're more likely to get some advice, and if you break a part, someone is likely to have a spare. Get a car that no-one else has, and you'll get limited advice and a smaller chance of anyone having spares on the night. |

I would recommend B44 - mainly as its a very popular club car. Doughty is right in that you would need saddle lipo packs for the B44, but I think in the long term it would be a nicer handling car, which is easier to setup.

And the B44 is cheaper, the difference is the majority of a lipo saddle pack.

Thanks guys for replies.
I have raised another question about saddle LiPo packs. Take a look at this, for example. Will I have to use one piece, or both? If I have to use one piece, which is 4500mAH, what will be the difference in run-time with a 4500mAH LiPo stick pack? Or will it be the same? |

You use both parts of the saddle pack. They're just the same as a single stick pack but split in two for those models where there isn't enough room to sit a stick pack in. Instead, you have a saddle pack with one part on each side of of the model, or if the model can take a stick pack , you just put the 2 saddles next to each other to form what looks like a stick pack.
There's no real performance benefit as such between a stick pack and saddle pack. But saddles give you may options when it comes to the balance of your car, because you can put a saddle on each side of the car, where as with a stick pack, it's usually the battery down one side, and your electrics down the other. I'm just using NIMH stick pack batteries in my ZX-5. |

Right, okay.
But what confuses me is that how can I link both of them up? I mean there have to be one Dean connector to connect the ESC... do I have to buy a Dean connector with four wires? |

If you click on the picture below you'll see that there is a black wire with bullet connectors on each end, this goes between the two packs, connecting them.
