HOT – Team Associated B44.2 Factory Team Buggy – Ready To Win

Team Associated has raised the bar yet again with the HOT B44.2 4wd off road buggy. The already awesome, 2 time world championship winning and 4 time national champion is back with new features make sure it wins even more races!!

The B44.2 Factory Team kit takes the next step in drawing out every opportunity to maximize the 4WD buggy’s potential.

The big news on the B44.2 is the new Factory Team 12mm ‘Big Bore’ hard-anodized shocks. The shocks feature threaded collars, machined aluminum shock caps with bleed screws, and are completed with TiN “Gold” 3mm shock shafts.

The end result is a 12mm shock that delivers a plush and compliant ride that keeps the B44.2′s tires planted on the ground.

The B44.2 also received an updated 2.5mm carbon-fiber chassis that is 8mm longer and 3mm narrower than the previous model. This not only improves stability and overall handling of the B44.2 but also accommodates the new LiPo quick-change battery mounting system, and VTS multiplate slipper assembly.

The engineers in Area 51 have once again evolved the B44 to keep it a winner, while everyone else is just trying to keep up. If you’re ready to step up your 4WD program, the B44.2 is ready for you!
