Team Associated B44

We wrote about the much anticipated 4wd electric buggy from Team Associated, the B44, when it was announced a week ago. Team Associated have now put the full information from their new car online, including lots of up close chassis pictures such as the one above, but strangely there was no overall chassis shot or from the bottom either, perhaps parts haven’t been finalised.

Statement – JConcepts & Associated B44

Announcement - JConcepts and Associated B44

Just as the title says – On July 10, TTR/Associated announced the upcoming release of the new B44. This new vehicle is based on the BJ4 Worlds Edition and was a collaborative effort between TTR/Associated and JConcepts. The B44 was a collaborative project only. JConcepts remains an independent company, and our business will not change as a result of this collaboration. Both Jason and Brad have ties with Associated going back 15+ years. This has led to a close working relationship between Associated and JConcepts on the B44. JConcepts will continue to sell the BJ4 kits, parts and accessories to support new and existing customers. Look for more new and exciting products from JConcepts to fit the B44 and all Team Associated vehicles.
