What options are available if rims can't be found (different axles)?
Thinking about picking up a B3 but if I can't find wheels...

Re: RC10 B3 project
Since wheels seem to be a issue does that mean that tires are as well? I have the original wheels - will current tires fit on them? Is there a difference?mikea96 wrote:You can use the wheels off of the thunder tiger BX which is basically a B3.sneako43 wrote:Are there no aftermarket wheels available for the B3?

The thunder tiger front rims are more like B4 rims the rear are the same as B3.

Re: RC10 B3 project
Nice to see some love for the B3... my mate's been running one that was passed onto him by another racing buddy - people must think we are some sort of 90s throw-backs when we turn up at race meetings, Nathan with his B3 & myself with my Worlds RC10.
Unfortunately he broke a rear wishbone mount & needed to replace some front steering arms, so asked me to look out for some.... i'm amazed how hard it is to find spares for the B2/3 - I've got some hopefully coming now, but it would be easier to find the same parts for my Ali tubbed car

Re: RC10 B3 project
Come on lets see the pics. Also where did you get those 2 shells, as I am in need of one so please PM me relating to the Deja Vu shells.
Anyway mine is a B2 with B3 front wishbones and a shock tower made from 5mm carbon fibre with a mod to fit the schumacher Boss cat wind holder so I can save my wing if I roll it. Ive also added four brass plates under the cells and goes down the cell holder perfectly and held in by the side foam tape that comes with the buggy kit. Each plate is 50g and totals at 200g and is now identical in weight when I ran it in the 90's. Ive also made a lipo holder plate to keep the lipos in and used a B4 batt holder to lock it in place. Its set for carpet and is using a 5.5 LRP X12 and is rather rapid. I will be doing the biggest carpet event in Europe in January and should do rather well with this. Now all I need is a shell and game on

Re: RC10 B3 project
Whats up iwth this thread? Any progress yet?
Speaking of the TT BX Buggy: does anybody know if we can use the body of this car for the B3? I think it should fit, since it´s the same platform....

Re: RC10 B3 project (update 11-24)
Her a couple pics of the Deja-vu shell. I also picked up another B3 Worlds conversion with the Deja-vu shell, proline front and rear widebody wheels and the rear shock tower all for 19.99.
