Is the b3/t3 platform still competitive in club racing ?

imo yes

Of course. I think the existence of this forum, and the number of people building up vintage cars of all types, Team cars, CE's, World's Cars (Associated and RPM), JRX2s and Pros, AND running them in club races points to a huge yes. No reason to retire perfectly running hardware!

Yes/yes! Just use new tires and tune your suspension to the track!

Yes....

I started racing competitively 2 years ago, 2 months before the 08 VONATs, and I was racing my Losi XX and RC10T and was quite competitive against the higher powered modern cars...

Thanks everyone.

I just got a pretty good deal on both a t3/b3 and was wanting to know how they did on the track.

Im sure with my skills a new b4 or rb5 isnt going to help me

Will proably be bending some ears on setups if thats ok.

Couple questions. Newb stuff of course

Will b4 wheels fit on the b3 ?
Any chance of putting a b4 slipper setup on the b3 ?

Already put a b4 wing and mount on. Wasnt too crazy about the wire thingy.

Will post some pics up soon.

A B4 top trans shaft and slipper assembly will all bolt right on in place of the B3 parts. Remember to get ALL of it. Shaft, inner & outer sliper hubs, slipper pads, spring, spur gear etc...

As far as wheels, They are NOT a direct replacement. The car can be made to accept the B4 wheels, but you'd have to change out other chassis parts....

Thanks !

You wouldnt happen to know what pn#s needed to make b4 wheels work would you

Love your sig BTW

No, I sure don't.. I'm sure someone around here has done it.

If you're just looking for spare wheels fo the B3, These thunder tiger rims will bolt right on and are 2.2"...

Thanks again.

Still working on these units

and appreciate the help this far.

The b4 slipper unit is so much better than the stock unit.

Now for some shocks.
Would b4 ft shocks fit on the b3 ? Im looking for something with threaded bodies if possible.

Thanks again

i'm not sure if the b4/b3 shocks are the same lemgth. either way, ae prob has the right length
