RC10B3 Team? Want to build B3 Worlds

Post by JamieB »

Hi Guys,

A long time ago I picked up an RC10T3 truck and then an RC10T3 Factory Team truck.

More recently as part of a purchase I picked up what I believe to be an RC10B3 Team car. Can you confirm this is correct please?

I want to build a Factory Team version and race it next year. Any advice and will the parts be easy enough to obtain?

I don't know much about the B3 Worlds car, most of the images are missing so its difficult to find information. Anything you can help with will be appreciated. Thanks.

And here are my two trucks.

First glance, looks like you are missing the blue anodized rear chassis plate, motor plate, and steering tube/nut. You can check the manual and any part numbers with an asterisk next to them denotes FT parts.

If the B3 has the blue parts. Should be a factory Team. (i dont think the offered a worlds version). But there was a basic/Team/Factory Team versions.

These versions?

9003 Basic Plus kit (with bushings, but no motor or MSC (Manual Speed Control))
9013 Sport kit (with bushings, motor, MSC and B2 Sport body)
9032 Team kit
9021 Worlds Upgrade kit
9043 Factory Team kit

My one has blue kick up plate at the front but is missing the rear chassis plate and motor mount. The car does have the blue turn buckles. So someone has either got the Team Kit 9032 and added the turn buckles and front kick up, or had a Factory Team Kit 9043 and removed the rear chassis plate and motor mount.

Both examples are as likely as the others. Is there anything else I can check to find out one way or the other? The Factory Team used Graphite chassis, suspension arms and rear shock tower. I have a mix of blue screws.

I guess I will never know for sure what this started of as. Not massively important, just would be nice :wink:

FT versions also had the stiffer carbon parts. it's hard to tell if that's the case with your cars....
The blue anno'd stuff is super expensive and hard to find :cry: So if your racing the car I wouldn't bother .

anyhow, nice cars and keep us posted with your progress.

more than likely with the scratches on the rear chassis plate and chassis and how clean that front blue chassis plate is someone placed a new plate on the front with the other parts. I'd say if I were to guess that yours was black chassis plates to begin with.
