The Factory Team B44.3 is the third generation 4WD buggy from Team Associated. This platform has already generated a whopping 3 IFMAR World Championships and 4 ROAR National titles, not to mention a slew of other Regional wins. The A-Team has taken the best parts of the previous cars and, along with some new features, stuffed it all into a tight little package.
One of the coolest features is the ability to build this buggy in either a Front Motor configuration (FT) or a Rear Motor configuration (RM). Both of these have advantages depending on track conditions and can be built with parts supplied in the kit.
We got our hands on one and will be supplying one of CompetitionX‘s famous step-by-step builds. We’ve also listed the support gear going into this build below:
