Thanks, I may go with a set of those. The B2 still used the smaller diameter rear wheels?

It was the 2.175 rear wheel same as the rc10 worlds I believe but for 3/16 axle.

Perfect, I will do this upgrade then.

Got these on order:

Now to find original B2 rear wheels and the project should be done and ready for electronics!

You can use the yellow ones you have those tiresame are made for 2.15 to 2.2 wheels.

Ya, I know they'll fit. Could be a little tight?

The guy who had the wheels, actually had B2 2.1 rear wheels... so I went ahead and got them. I guess the project is now a mix of revert, and B2. I'm okay with that

Well, I'd say she's about 95% done. I still have some fine details to finish on the car: Bearings in the steering, cut the rear bulkhead, washers for the transmission to chassis connection, better aluminum screws, electronics, paint, and some other odd's and ends. Overall, I'm very pleased.

Looks good!

Thanks!!

Great job!

I would use Lunsford retro turnbuckles + white, squared ball cups
