Team Associated B44.3 Factory Team 4WD buggy kit

Team Associated introduce the latest incarnation of the World Championship winning B44 buggy in the form of the B44.3. The most significant changes are found on the new hard-anodized aluminium chassis, which helps lower the centre of gravity to improve handling and durability. The chassis has been designed to have symmetrical torsional flex to improve handling consistency — the new floating motor mount, floating servo mount, and chassis machining help to provide the desired flex symmetry.

Power and traction have continued to improve, so the B44.3’s drivetrain has been built up and refined to keep up with the demand of today’s high-traction off-road tracks. A set of four precision CVA’s transfer the power from the gear differentials via ball bearings throughout the car. Weight bias can be significantly altered by using either the front motor configuration with a saddle pack or the rear motor configuration with a shorty pack. The B44.3 is also backwards compatible with the previous generation VTS slipper clutch and ball differentials – both of which are optional for the buggy – making the B44.3 extremely versatile and adaptable to any track condition.
