Not wanting to hijack but some gratuitous shots of my recently back on the road b3 team....

Keen to see how you all like the black wheels and neon ball ends!!

Not especially in keeping with the original but i think it looks ok!

looks very tidy with some factory team bits and nice rpm plastic...

quick update the order is now confirmed and i will get getting the 5 spokes in b3 fitment with correct recess for front bearing and hex drive rears

he has them in black, white and yellow!

i have a b3 team which i bash the hell out of mainly on asphalt and grass

managed to get job lot of schumacher minispikes for about usd 3 per pair - they grip super well but admittedly are likely to wear quicker than the hawks given the tread pattern but at the price i didnt mind!

So having studied the various clips of the process i finally received my dye yesterday and set about getting my white wheels dyed black for my stealth look b3 team attempt. The rears were TT and the fronts the nasty Duratrax. (I thought I'd try them anyway.) The good news is that the rears turned ou...

well done ive bought from dan before very nice guy and i emailed him when i saw him sell his b3 team!

you should be able to get a replacement chassis easy enough

ive got the same car and am using a brushless set up with 10.5t motor on all the stock b3 team running gear and so far no issues

Living over the atlantic means i get stuffed when it comes to postage but i think you must be right about the height

however, today i managed to secure a protoform blast 2 shell which looks great but i expect it wont fit

will keep all posted on results!

thats the question i have no answer to! im wondering if there will be enough sill or whether the bottom of the shell comes up short and shows the vertical side of the chassis?

i actually have a deja vu tu body that was original equipment with the kit. i had it pro painted as well.

i dont want to run it with that shell anymore because its so hard to find now so am looking for something that i can bash with!

Has the lower profile rear shock mount so wondering if anyone knows what aftermarket shells might be a good fit?

good news is that i bagged myself a roller now so watch this space....

some subtle mods

carbon fibre shock tower supports (atomic carbon)
Titanium screws
White losi ballcups
Blue trinity motor mount clamp
MIP shiney CVD's
Front one way and clicker layshaft

bloody hell

bad news for me as ive ordered the TT wheels a full set! keen to learn of the alternative front wheel

right yellow it is then!

ill get pics up as soon as the new bits arrive!
