I was thinking about it. If any come my way that is.... I had an original gold RC10 in the 80's. i wasn't around for the 90's or 2000's so I am not familiar with what was available during any of those time frames. I have a Novak 410-M5 ESC that is pretty nice but not sure if it would be correct for this car. I assumed it was a little older than the car.

Not exactly sure when the FT came out, but I think you'd be good with an Lrp v7.1 or Quantum esc and Lrp phaser receiver combo.... with a Reedy Ti mod and some 3000 cells. Or a Novak Cyclone esc and XXL receiver.
Sounds expensive
The XXL receivers seem reasonable as far as price goes (eBay)... maybe I could convince somebody to trade a Cyclone ESC for my 410-M5
With all the love for blue builds going on around here lately, I figured I better start this one soon. I've been collecting parts for a little bit and while it's nowhere near as hard a process to locate these like some of the gold pan vintage stuff...

BUMPING this old thread. Unfortunately the pictures are all gone. I would love to see these pictures if the OP feels like sorting out the links. It's a long shot, but it sounds like a lot of great B3 option parts are in those photos.
As the title states, does anyone know a good choice of motor for an Associated B3 Factory Team car? It's a shelfer so I would like to search for an NOS motor, just wasn't sure what to search for. Looking for info on brands/models that were available...

My B3 has a Reedy Fury 12x2...I think. It's period correct aside from the fact that it appears they meant that motor for touring cars. :lol:
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...

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...
Looking for any help sourcing factory team shocks for a T4 team truck build. Can be either the old 1.02 front and 1.39 rear shocks or the most recent 12x27.5mm and 12x36mm shocks. Is there anywhere FT shock kits can be bought? Or is the only way to...

And what the heck is up with AE discontinuing big bore shock kits, which they still sell with many of their kits?
at least one of the sets exist
the kashima coat bodies are pretty cheap online so a set can...
I picked up this Team truck last week.
I was thinking of building another mid electric but this one is supposed to be a runner so I'm keeping it Nitro.
The shocks need seals.
Rear CF tower is cracked.
It needs a clutch bell and brake cam.
The plan...

Geez I've been totally sidelined working on an MGT E conversion chassis meets New Bright body project for my son.. I'll be back on this one soon.
This build is starting with a nearly new FT T3. I placed a half assed bid on eBay, and won. I was surprised, and actually a little mad at myself for buying it. When it showed up, I didn't even open it for a couple of days. However once I did I...

I figured since the FT turnbuckles were asked about, this would be a good place for this 8) 8F67CC06-6EEE-4EB2-88B9-E454C35401A2.jpeg
