ASSOCIATED B44 Ceramic Nitride Pro Series Ceramic Ball Bearing Kit The Associated B44 project came to life in 2003 as a cooperative effort between Team Associated and J Concepts’ Jason Ruona and Brad Reelfs. After Team Associated's Ryan Cavalieri won the 2005 IFMAR World Championships in Collegno, Italy with the BJ4 Worlds Edition, Area 51 shifted into overdrive to produce a true "Associated"-inspired 4WD buggy that would continue to dominate the 4WD off road racing class. The B44 is the result of this two-year development effort. This kit contains the following Ceramic Ball Bearings Four 3/8x5/8 Four 3/16x1/2 Twelve 3/16x3/8 Associated did a great job designing the larger 3/16x1/2 ball bearings as they are much stronger than the previous 3/16x3/8 ball bearings that were used on both sides of the hubs. Our ceramic bearings make this setup bulletproof. We have ceramic ball bearing kits for all versions of the B44 so if you have the other versions such as the B44.1, B44.2 or B44.3 please choose that specific bearing model from the drop down menu above.
