Thank you for purchasing this Team Associated product. This assembly manual contains instructions and tips for building and
maintaining your new RC10 B44.1. Please take a moment to read through this manual to help familiarize yourself with these
steps.
We are continually changing and improving our designs; therefore, actual parts may appear slightly different than in the illustra-
tions. New parts will be noted on supplementary sheets located in the appropriate parts bags. Check each bag for these sheets
before you start to build.
The Factory Team B44.1 is the next generation in a long line of race winning 10th scale 4wd buggies dating back to 2003. The
B44 project came to life as a cooperative effort between Team Associated and J Concepts’ Jason Ruona and Brad Reelfs, culmi-
nating with Team Associated driver Ryan Cavalieri winning the 2005 I.F.M.A.R. World Championships in Italy with the BJ4 World’s
Edition. The production B44 Factory Team continued the winning ways with Jared Tebo winning the 2007 I.F.M.A.R. World Cham-
pionship in Japan along with Ryan Maifield and Ryan Cavalieri in a 1-2-3 B44 podium sweep.
Team Associated designers optimized the B44.1 for the latest generation of racers using LiPo batteries and brushless motors. With
the advent of this new technology, R/C cars are lighter and more powerful than ever. The B44.1 is geared for strictly LiPo batter-
ies, with no cell slots in the chassis and a carbon fiber battery tray as standard equipment. The center section of the battery tray
can be replaced with an optional (not included) ballast weight for more rearward weight bias. Motor installation and adjustment
is a breeze thanks to the cam motor mount system. The blue aluminum rear hubs add durability and new camber link adjustment
options. Lastly, the B44.1 comes with the latest JConcepts Punisher body and under tray.
