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.
