PSM B44.3 Shorty Conversion chassis with AirMount

German carbon fibre specialists PSM introduce a shorty conversion carbon fibre main chassis kit for the Team Associated B44.3 4WD buggy. The set was designed with the goal to bring back a slightly softer chassis to the buggy in order to improve performance especially on low to medium-bite surfaces thanks to higher torsional flex compared to the standard aluminium chassis. Included with the 2.5mm main chassis comes PSM’s AirMount battery location system that keeps the shorty LiPo pack in place without disrupting equal left to right flex while being light of weight at the same time. An optional battery tray set for saddle pack LiPos is available also for those who opt to run a more conventional layout. Overall the chassis set scrubs around 60g of weight allowing to add balancing weights where needed. Included with the set comes the main chassis with centre brace, left and right hand shorty LiPo braces, the AirMount system as well as threaded inserts and all needed hardware.
