NOS B3's found at local hobby shop

Post by Diggley »

If anyone's interested, I thought I'd pass this along.

(I wish they were Sand Scorchers)

If your looking for a brand new RC10 B3 in the box, I found not one, but 3 sitting on the shelf of a local hobby shop.

(www.glennshobbycorner.com)

Unfortunately, they are still priced at 1999's full discounted retail. (about $199-$210)

The only back up parts I saw there were a set of sport model (gold) shocks...NO WHEELS, chassis parts, etc. I checked...

It may be a good alternative to E-Bay if you're searching for that next shelf queen.

PS, for you Losi dudes, there was 2 Losi "Spec Class" (NOS/mint) vehicles there...Blue tires?..YECCCHHH!...*cough*..I think they were about $150 or so.

They've got 2 onsite tracks there also. A carpet indoor oval track & a paved touring car outdoor track.
Projects and shelfers:
Late Edinger, RC10B2, Dual Sport, GT, Kyosho Turbo Ultima, Triumph, Tamiya Sand Scorcher, Blackfoot/Monster Beetle, '67 Beetle, Nikko Rhino, Traxxas Fiero, Slash, Hand-built Dune Buggy..all on here somewhere...

I wonder if they'd be willing to deal. Clearly they're not moving at those prices. :lol:

Make a deal for all three. Then you solve the extra parts problem. As long as the shop owner doesn't figure out to open 2 of them, bag the parts and put them on ebay. :(


...And that Bolink Legends kit in the photo!!

Ive been trying to sell my new built B3 Team car for $150 for some time and no one seems interested,I just thought no one wanted them as there arnt really vintage.New in box kits would be a great investment to put away for 10 years or so.

You can buy the thunder tiger car for about 80$ NIB. It is the same thing as a B3 except with bushings and front shock tower.

I wouldnt pay over $100 for the B3 NIB after finding this out unless you wanted the box and such stating it was a B3.

I had and sold 2 phoenixs, RTR NIB with decent battery and charger and a fair radio at $100 is a steal.
