Team car / Stealth RC10

LMK, I know Chad from Dynotech personally so getting the arms is no sweat

Another project I have on the side and maybe my favorite car is this B2 team car ex racer I bought from England a couple of years ago. I collect parts for it whenever I see them but B2's and parts for them seem to be even rarer than worlds cars, I gave it a few runs when I got it and it's been on the shelf since. But I'll drive it again soon. The main problem is driving it damages the wing with the original stickers that seem unobtainable and the even more unobtainable body :S. I guess the smart thing to do it get a B3 body . I'm currently looking for a pair of front arms for it

I am sure I have those as well-

..... which ones? 9105 or 9106, in either case I think I need to be your friend Tomorrow I'm going to visit the cars/parents (I leave them at my parents house since they have some acres and I have a track there) so I'll take pictures of what I have so far. The track is only about 13 seconds long for a modern 2wd buggy, I'd like to make it at least over 20 seconds eventually but it takes me a while to dig by hand. In any case by the time I get the older RC10's all operational the track will be mint and great for driving on and taking pictures and videos, I'm keeping it old time just like a typical late 80s early 90's club track, it's 100% loam dirt. Some days it's dusty some days mud you just never can be sure, like it should be

9105's

Hey Charlie the surfer, I have those towers now but I also made you (and everyone else) a video

The B2 might get a video soon or maybe the Losi JRX2 Pro

I like the video, nice! It's cool to see it in slowmo action, you get to see what the suspension is doing and how it's reacting. Cool stuff!

I would move that motor wire in, it's a bit close to that wheel!

Nice choice on background music BTW.......

Thanks guys, yeah the motor wire I noticed too it's because I had to make an extension cable between the small deans and a bigger one to run a modern battery and it made everything a bit loose but it never quite reached the wheel. I made a very similar video 20 years ago with a VHS that could do frame by frame slow motion :0 and the same music so this is kind of a remake tribute. I'm going to see if I can upload the old video also. That cars now quite ready for racing just yet but I thought I'd put a battery in it and get it running yesterday just for a quick drive. The shocks were kinda clagged up with 20 year old oil and sludge so I just put some random oil from a Axial kit in it that was marked 30 weight other than that nothings been changed in 20 years and the gearbox was so smooooooth, really quiet.

Now I'm building a second one to drive more often, still need lots of parts for that one though. I'm surpised how well it drives compared to a modern buggy, really really good rear end traction but it was pushing the front end a lot under power

I'm building my second car now, I bought a old beat up RC10T that had a stealth conversion to raid the stealth and I also have buy sell access on here now !:) I'm still not sure if that's going to help me or send me bankrupt lol, crazy good stuff for sale.

What I just realised after pulling the truck apart is that it's got the RPM worlds front tower on it! and I just bought the fibrelyte one!, strange how things work

Ha ! thankfully this forum lives. Family life happened.. I just found a box full of half built RC10s and weird parts which I can no longer remember what the crap they were. Should be able to figure it out now and continue on
