here's the last of the B1.5 shelfer pics. i don't plan on doing anything else to this, unless a nib novak polaris receiver comes along. at that point, the airtronics receiver will be pulled in favor of that.
i had fun building this one, probably one of the favorites in my collection. now i got to get the runner finished up, and the wheels are turning for B1.5 #3.
I'm liking it. Is this the next big thing to come outta the board? A WhatsNotAsOldIsNewer WNAOIN build should do it. Got to get going on mine. Since you started this I liked it and gotta get one into runner status.

giving me too much credit there.
the body can really only go one place since it's so tight to the chassis. not much room to shift it around. that's just where the tower ends up since it's mounted to the backside of the bulkhead. i was going to make a cover for it, but it's not that noticeable.
the viper is probably the only AE body that was gonna fit on this tub. which works out fine for me, especially since i was aiming for a factory look with #1. if the body didn't dart in so much at the front of the front of the servo, it would be a lot better. if that was more flat like a b2/b3, the body could be moved back over top of the shock tower like a standard buggy. though the front would end up a bit on the short side.
eventually, i will make my own mold to fit these cars properly if i keep building them. it's already been discussed with Robert (ROH73). at the very least, we'll make a viper mold and i'll alter it as needed for a more custom fit.
I really like this thread . Really nice builds.
Regarding the T2 chassis i have found that there is two types.
One is clean (no holes) out the sides except for the antenna mount
and the other has two extra holes on the left side i think (seen from the rear looking forward, bottom down)
Is this first and second generation chassis or am i way wrong and what are the additional holes for?
The other holes are for the mechanical speed control that came in the cheaper T2 sport kits. but i would guess all later kits, whether it was the team or sport version, received the tub with the msc holes.
This 10T was supposed to get a restoration, but inspired by the old/new builds in this thread my project has taken an unexpected turn. This will end up being a runner that I'll take to the track for the occasions when we have a turnout for 2wd....

Greg, use a losi cvd axel and rc10 cvd inner shaft, you can space the outer deeper into the
tranny outdrives, the B4 cvd axel will work as well
My preference is to get the car to legal buggy width and I figure I will need narrower arms to do this....

The arms I got years ago and had sitting in my stock they were used but show absolutely no wear not sure what brand they are they look to be gpm units
So I'm in the middle of restoring an RC10 B3. It was only lightly run up to this point, but has a mix of parts from other cars. A lot of B2 parts, and shocks from a B4.

Pretty much got this car wrapped up. It's all original team car stuff except the RPM front bumper, rear bumper, gear cover, and the Lunsford turnbuckles. Oh, and I opted for the factory team gold shock shafts. I took it out and ran it a bit, and...
Kind of surprised I didn't have a thread for this.
I got this truck a few years ago. Pretty solid. Even had Lunsford turnbuckles. But, no trans. Thankfully, i bought a b2/b3 lot shortly after getting the T3 and ended up with trans for it. I tore it...
