All New RC10B3 Factory Team Build

Post by **erichevy** » Sat Mar 14, 2015 9:35 am

I went a little crazy and decided to build a B3 FT car from scratch... piece by piece.... I'd hate to see how much I've invested so far, lol. It has been fun tracking down all the parts I need. There are only a few parts left to find. I decided to go with white wide body wheels too, even tho yellow is pictured. I have the rears wheels on the way but still need fronts. I have the correct rear shock bodies coming as well since the new ones I bought were a different color than the "old" front shocks I have. The only used part is the transmission, but I am rebuilding it and will be using NOS outdrives. Other than a body, I think I have it all.... finally!

I'll post as I go. I have another build taking priority at the moment so it may take a while

X2! There was a great period of time where you could get them for next to nothing. They were all over ebay. May still be, but I haven't looked in a while. Looks like a fun project.

I know what you mean... I ended up with about 5 of them!

I have three runners and another two in partially built status.

(I probably have enough B3/T3 parts to build another one or two on top of those;
everything was so cheap for several years - what was I supposed to do, not bid ???)

Very expensive way to build a B3. I would think you could find a NIB B3 still at a fair price?

I'm sure you are correct... I just got carried away... I actually won a used B3 on eBay and got a message from the seller a week later telling me the chassis was cracked and he cancelled the transaction. By this time I had already purchased a bunch of replacement parts.... One thing led to another and I decided to go all out. Should be sweet when completed tho

Thanks for the offer... I'm trying to build it to all factory specs tho... at least as much as I can.

Just picked up this Stock Trinity motor for the build. Only thing left to track down is the front wide body wheels in white.

Reminds me of my B3 blue metal build. Similar insanity.

I have a nice Andy's B3 body I bought for another B3 build still in the package if you are interested. Or you might be going all stock.
