Thanks. I can't wait to run the short version. It should be very interesting to drive. I just need to paint the body, program the ESC and radio and I will be off to the track.

I am a little worried about the very light front end on my B2. I know I can add some lead to the under side of the bulk head but I dont know if it will be enough.

I remember back in the day I would put up to 3.5 oz's of lead weight in the front of my B3 for better turn in and to keep the front down. I usually put it just in front of the servo on either side.

Your buggy is looking great!

Here's my B3 runner I'm trying to finish up:

Love the battery cut outs in the chassis, they make a big difference. I was thinking of doing that to one of my cars, but with the new lipo's taking over, what's the point now?

Very nice car BTW!

True about the cutouts but this buggy is from back in the day so that's why.

Thanks!

All my old SMC 4200 packs are going south. I had 12 and now only able to save 5 after getting rid of all the bad cells. I wont be going back to std cells.

The funny thing is I have old 1200scr's and 1400scr's that still work as well as they did new!

I only need to paint a body now, it's all trimmed, I was hoping to paint it today but was busy playing PS3 COD 5 on line . Oh well, you have to have your priorities!

This thread is very useful for me and the pictures really helps alot since I have a (what I thought) B3, but it appears to be a B2 that has been upgraded to a B3.
Great pictures and a great looking car, thx for posting

I was at the basher track yesterday and a 1/1 drag racer that runs a Savage plowed into my B2 and busted my new and ONLY carbon fiber front tower!

Stupid drag racer has no concept of a racing line! Only knows how to punch it in a straight line!

I will show pics later, I have to upload them to photobucket!

Rod,I know where a few are--I'll check to see if they are still there.

Carbon fiber?? More than one?? If so, that would be sweet, I would take two. You da Man!

Asso_man was kind enough to give me a link to one on eBay! For now I am running the stock tower.

I love my B2, just rebuilt the 19 turn and put the tower on. Good to go for tonight! While my son is doing MX, I will sneak over to the RC track!

wow rod, nice job. i want to see this one the next time i'm by.

[aconsola]

I've still got one of each of the b-2 front towers if you still need them. I think the LHS has more of both on the wall, but I will be unable to check before the weekend.

the rest of the parts in that thread have already found new homes.

[slotcarrod]

Thanks guys for the offers but I think I will get some from the famous Mr Reggie Hammer as he found some other items (again) that I need! It will save me on shipping from one location. I owe this man many beers, he is a treasure to RC10talk!

Anthony (Vintage AE).... You can piss off! LOL jk! As you can tell, you are not the only one to bust carbon fiber! (Just to let the guys know, Anthony busted the carbon side plate on my crawler, I'm not mad and it's all good but now I get to tease him for the rest of his life! )

Some pics of my new painted body on the short RC10B2.

[Charlie don't surf]

I like that paint!

[slotcarrod]

Them's my colours! Many people just pull over when the see it coming! Sorta like good old # 3!

Those are used wheels that I baked the old rubber off in the oven! I put some new Losi rubber on. Wheels still look good for the second use eh?

I ran this thing tonight, man I love how this car feels on the track, just so dialed!
