Finally got a B2
Finally got a B2
well after offering reasonable offers to a few peeps on ebay for there extremly overpriced rollers or even rtr's i accidently stumbled across this partially mislabled gem not to far from me here in california. if i beat out a member here on the site im sorry...its kill of be killed. here is the link of what im waiting to arrive to me. http://www.ebay.com/itm/190705033055?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
do you think its a bad twilight zone episode for team associated to be re producing a buggy from yesteryear that is capable of beating their latest and greatest production buggy?

Looks like you got if for a decent price.
I remember racing against these with my TCP in the late nineties. Should make a great project car

Re: Finally got a B2
looks good. You can tell if it's a team buggy or sport by the rear axles, and bearings, since the seller says 'aftermarket shocks'.
1/4" axle and bones/bushing-sport.
maybe the guy is mistaken and you have a team car, which will have bearings and universals as well as the hard anodized shocks.

I'm definitely hoping it's a team car but just glad to have a b2 in my collection regardlessjwscab wrote:looks good. You can tell if it's a team buggy or sport by the rear axles, and bearings, since the seller says 'aftermarket shocks'.

Re: Finally got a B2
It's a 8000 kit, hard anno shocks, alloy caps, TQ wheels with Proline Flat Stubbies and Edge Front tires, universals and maybe even a salvagable Stealth II shell-
Looks like it's been well run!

Re: Finally got a B2
Great find! I remember when the b2 came out. I wanted one soooo bad. Been browsing for one and I have also noticed they are outrageously priced. Wonder why

Re: Finally got a B2
im hoping the black drips that have been started on the body are able to be removed and im hoping the body is salvageable. ill know more when i recieve it. i have a printed out manual and if its the racer kit(team) then it would be a 9000 designation. i ordered the correct wing kit for it according to the manual i have. im looking at the viper body and wing kit from team blue groove or just a stock repo body. ill post up some pics when i get it in my hands and clean it up. really excited to have it in my arsenal of vintage rides.

Re: Finally got a B2
its all good...so many part numbers rattling around up in your head it was an honest mistake. the more i look at the really limited pics the more i lean towards the 9000 kit...the carbon parts had a different sheen to them so its sometimes a dead giveaway for for the more optioned kits. should be here by the 30th. im gonna have to find a good set of rear tires for it for sure. i dont remember if i can use modern rubber on these wheels(2.2).Charlie don't surf wrote:9000 kit! Were did the 8000 kit come from in my head?

Re: Finally got a B2
The 9000 didn't come with carbon parts, they were option only- the never sold a "carbon" version as I recall-
Re: Finally got a B2
i asked him and it has carbon front arms....b3 arms
so i had to source some b2 arms so that i can put the correct front arms on it...i need to fint more front arms for this thing so i have spares but they are hard to find
