Mja75 B3 vintage racer build.

As much as I love modern buggie after coming back to RC 18 months ago after a 25 year break I still think the old school buggies look best.
Vintage racing is taking off in the UK so I though I'd better get a car sorted and as I've just about always driven AE it had to be a B3.
I'm using a 13.5 Reedy motor and a Hobbywing V2.1 ESC with a Savox taking care of the directional stuff.

RPM ball cups FTW!

A few upgrades along the rebuild route, B4 threaded body shocks along with a B4 layshaft and slipper.
Modern tyres are miles ahead of retro stuff so a set of 2.2 wheels from JCracing (spoked, of course) and a Penguin reproduction body finishes it off.

Here is the start to my project racer. I started with a Composite Craft graphite chassis that I drilled for the Stealth transmission. All of the nylon was already dyed, but very poorly, so I re-dyed it all. I used Andy's arms front and rear, Houge...

Ok so I am starting a new build on an old buggy. I'm going to see how much new technology I can inject into this vintage dog. Lots of new tech AE stuff , such as VTS slipper clutch, B44 aluminum rear hubs with carbon c towers,b44 CVA axles, ceramic...

Last post

I'll be interested to see how that aluminum top shaft holds up under the torque of that 7.5 motor. :shock:

It's been a good while since this car has seen any action but I feel this is long overdue. This car is an ongoing build in progress and after it's last (and first) run I worked out a few areas that needed more attention.

This car was pulled down...

Wow this thing is sweet talk about needle in the hay stack :o :shock:

Picked up this nice early 7001 10T with offset B stamp chassis, thin shock towers and half hex ball cups. I will have the chassis re-annodized and i need to find some narrow front wheels and tires and some correct rear wheels and tires.

Last post

Well I've got this all torn down and I have started to clean and it is in really nice condition. I will take some pics tommorow of the progress.

I started building this thing about a year ago and it was going to be my ’09 VONATs car. I’d stopped working on it when I realized I wasn’t going to make it, but I thought I’d go ahead and finish it before moving on to another project. I suppose...

Just an FYI - I ordered a pack of those stand-offs from Sheldon's and they are the same 1 ones used on the RC10 chassis. All 6 are tapped for 4-40 screws.

So I’m wanting to sort a car for next years UK vintage race season. I’m looking for something with plenty of and easy spares availability, it’s kind of leading me down the road of a rere. I’m a bit cold on the Schumacher reres and was wondering...

Last post

Good choice :)
I've gone Schumacher in 4WD with a Bosscat and I've already got 2WD and truck covered with a B3 and a T3.
In hind sight I'd have gone Procat or XLS as Bosscat parts are proving hard to find.
