wow racing this car !! man good luck id be to scared to crash..this cars a real work of art. id like to see you do a youtube video of it running and post it for us to watch
Yeah I think the only thing thats gonna break in a crash is front arms, the B3 front bulkhead is really flexible so the arms never break but this front end is pretty rigid
Gave it a go today, just had a problem with one of the front driveshafts bending due to binding at full lock. I set the servo limit to not go to full lock but had a bad landing off the jump which forced it to full lock. Problem with full lock is it goes over centre on the steering link and can get stuck there. So i'm just sticking some limiters to the steering knuckles to stop it turning too far.
Until that happened it was going alright, put the baldest tyres I had on the back and it was impossible to spin out really, just counter steer and give it more throttle!
Thanks! Raced it in 4WD stock at the race meeting today, had the same problem with the steering locking at full lock if I landed the wrong way off a jump, I think i'll have to modify the steering rack so it can't happen, just need to make a rack with the link holes a little further forward. Apart from that it went pretty well!
Got a couple more pics, there's a video too of one run which i'll get up soon.

B34 looked ok, your lines are ok, I think you were down on power. Wide open track needs pony! If the car has pony, then you are not putting down the power and need better tires. Nice to see it's holding it's own.
Yep lastenfield it's the 89 worlds track which amazingly had remained mostly unchanged for 20 years. That was the last race meeting on it though, this week it's getting completely redone.
Yeah it was a lot slower than a couple of cars running 13.5's (they should be running 17.5). I was running brushed, probably undergeared. Only had 10.5:1 FDR, motor was only warm.
Thinking of trying a one-way in the form of a Losi XX-4 clicker thing adapted to the rear pulley on mine to see how that handles.

wow im glad im not the only one that still uses brushed motors.. can brushed motors compete with brushless motors of today?? i was thinkin of racing again ...nice video, glad i got to see it in action..

if you got a short technical course a brushed moter like a quad or tripple wind may handle smoother and allow you to make less misshaps. I raced my hotdog project with an 18 quad motor on an indoor event not long ago. Only on the long straight you could realy tell how serious the difference between brushless&lipo vs brushed&Ninmh really is
Damn long name... Thanks to Eau Rouge for first dibs on the car. I've located a bunch of nib parts (chassis, chain drive parts, alloy hardware set, etc) incredibly quickly as well as the manual and parts list, it's all about being resourceful......

If I ever do get around to building the new one I have, I certainly wouldn't try to paint it myself.

the fantom EXT came with the crc II body or BW spider and both of them are soooo goood loooking compared to the stock body
Asked this in the RC10 buggy forum but maybe it was not the best place. I took the advice of those that answered my question regarding updating my B3 to brushless. I purchased a Castle SV2 sidewinder and 4600 4 pole motor. What gearing should I have...

Awesome, I installed the new motor and speed control last night, got the body painted over the weekend and should have the radio, battery and charger early next week. My wife got me the remaining items. I asked for another battery and reciever for...
Purchased this used RC10B3 on a facebook group for $120 shipped. It came as shown, with a new body, which I thought was a great deal. Overall, it did not see much use, or any. Sadly, while the car was in near new shape, someone had to take a pair of...

I've had a Tekin G12c III in my World's Car for the last 22 years lol. Nice find.
Hi all,
This is a B3 that I picked up cheap a while back. It was advertised as a B2 but looking at the front arms and various bits it seems to me that it is a B3 factory team with three B4 or T4 shocks.
I plan to make it a runner using the the...
I rently found my 1998 RC10B3 which i owned from new aged 16. My friends dad picked it up for my from the States late 98 i think along with a Trinity Epic motor with RPM guards (i think?)
I seem to remember work meant i gave up racing it...

Definitely keep it, we all have cars we regret selling!
I won an ebay auction and picked up a B3 for $80 after shipping. I want to have a little fun with it. I would like to do lipo and brushless along with some bumpers and anything else it needs, and just beat on it and see how it does.
I heard thunder...
