New B44 With bleeder caps

Post by mikea96 »

I got a new B44 the other day and it had the bleeder caps in the kit. Is this standard on all the factory team buggies. Our the Jconcepts wheels a good replacement wheel to get? and i ordered a body from rcupgrades with there custom wrap and paint. Can't wait to start this build.

I think associated recently started putting these in the new kits as my B44 came with the standard plastic caps. The rulex wheels from j-concepts look good but I prefer the standard associated ones as I could balance them easier.

If you haven't already get some diggity lipo trays and shock towers as well. Invest in front arms and shock shafts as well.

I really like my B44 once I got it setup its a fun car to drive. That may change with my DEX 410 though :mrgreen:

Do the shock shafts break easily?

Started building and got to the shocks and they werent actually the bleeder caps, they are just like them but they are not drilled. My kit was also missing a shock piston.

Those are the bleeder caps. You have to drill them yourself, AFAIK.

All the pics of the new ones are drilled with screws and these didnt come with screws either.
