hello, i'm currently running a B44.1 and race indoor on carpet once a week and was just wondering is there any benefit to doing the big bore spring conversion or is it purely for cosmetic reasons.. thanks

Not sure I agree. For bumpy astro then BB is a great way to go but for indoor carpet a BB spring conversion works really well as the extra damping is not really needed. Its what I run on my X6 cubed indoors as does my son on his B44.1. However I do run BB (Losi) on my astro B44.1

Thanks for reply's guys but cutting42 could you tell me is their any noticeable difference with using the BB springs, iv'e just watched a video were the bloke says as the standard springs compress they bend like a banana causing chafing on the shock body were as the BB ones don't, if this is the only benefit i think i'll leave it ?

Great question, trouble is I am not sure if I am good enough to really quantify the difference
![]() That said I mainly use them as I have 4 cars (mine and sons) with either full BB or SB/BB springs and they all use the same Losi BB springs so it is convenience mainly. |

one of the main reasons why people swapped from std springs to bb springs is their is a larger range of springs so you can tune the car better
running in doors their isn't any advantage as it is a smooth surface
