During the design and development stages Associated used their extensive and well-proven skills to make a 4WD competition buggy that is better suited to production. The results of this optimization are realized by you, the customer, in a more cost-effective vehicle with more readily available spare parts.
The B44 is built on a 2.5mm woven carbon fiber main chassis and top plate. The composite front bulkhead and rear chassis plate greatly improve overall durability and increase the ground clearance, further enhancing the B44's performance.
Area 51 designers also improved the BJ4's slipper clutch. The result is the B44's externally adjustable dual pad slipper clutch, which transfers power to the ground more efficiently and effectively.
The B44 employs a hardened steel CVA drivetrain with lightened ball differentials for unparalleled acceleration. The B44 soaks up the bumps using Factory Team hard anodized aluminum threaded shocks with gold shock shafts. The shocks mount to durable 3mm woven carbon fiber shock towers, making the B44 more responsive and giving quicker handling.
The B44 gets the full Factory Team treatment with blue titanium turnbuckles, blue aluminum shock bushings and blue aluminum servo mounts for a car that looks as good as it is fast!
