Hi all, has anyone out there fitted b3 suspension on to to a tub chassis ? Got a spare tub and loads of b3 suspension bits, don't look to hard, has anyone tried it ? Thanks all, have a good one.

Welcome to the board.

I am sure it has been done before, but I can not think of any that I have seen recently. Most common upgrade to increase the track width around here is the use of either Dynotech Racing or (Seabass)BigJeepzz A-Arms with either B44 or B4 CVDs.

You can get a lot of ideas from the Wha'ts Old Is New builds (WOIN or OIN)

If you already have the parts I would not be afraid to start mixing and matching. I think you could cut down a Goldpan nose plate to fit the B3 bulk head, but I could be wrong.

Good Luck and post up some pics of what you are doing.

if you have a bunch of parts, just start throwing something together.

im not sure about b3 but if its the same bulkhead as a t3 then yes it will work on the front.. you must trim the inside of the arm to fit it on the mount. i did it with t3 arms on the front of my buggy for my mega wide project. (still did not finish this project but i did mount the arms)

Thanks for that men, I will give it a go see what we can make, just wish I hadn't got rid of all my old one's, mip 4 wd, conversion, full rpm chassis, rpm worlds, all different cars, but that's another story, post some pics of my 10T soon and the B3's thanks all, have
e a good one.

Hi all, its finished take a look, sorry about the body !

Please post more pics!! Under side and tranny area, bottom, front, just more and info on how ya mounted the tranny please.what axles or cvd's did you use? How it handle?
I like it!

Hi, will take some more pics later, handles like b3 but its got loads of steering, goes very well with brm 12double in the back, front was easy to do all b3 bolts right in, rear was harder, tried to redrill tub but no room for b3 arm mounts, had to cut tub behind bulkhead and use b3 rear plate, everything behind bulkhead is b3, more later folks, have a good one.

Hi all, as requested more pics !

Kool..to make the rear work you had to cut off the back to mount the new section to use the tranny.I have a b4 and I want to run it in my rc10 runner plus I like the long arms.I tried the rc10 t with buggy wheels but its just not right.and handles even worse.lol.I had a b4.1 I used for my graphite woin build but sold what was left but the tranny.I like the better ratio it has.(wish someone would make a alloy case to put b4gears in).thanks for the pics it gave me some insight nice runner !
