For the 4wd B44.3 there is a new 3mm shorter aluminium chassis plate with corresponding top deck. The new setup helps create more on power traction as well as make the car turn more fluidly in the corners. Finally from Schelle is a small bottle of synthetic bearing oil, which is the same oil used on their ceramic bearings, but can now be used on all your bearings for its very fine low drag characteristics. Comes in a handle bottle with fine tip for precise application.
