Hi all,

B3 FT with WORLDS.
 

Hi all,

Pictures of the B3.

Click to enlarge..........

Excellent Restore that !!!

B3 shell mould was taken from a brand new associated shell !!! So should be pretty spot on !!!

Cheers Stu,

Yes very good fit mate.........:thumbsup:

Nice job :thumbsup:

looking at this has made me jealous.

I've got a B2 which needs a complete new front end. Where did you ge your parts from, are they easy to come across?

Parts.
 

Hi Benson,

Parts are hard to come by in shops Benson. There are a few on ebay occasionally but some are very very stupid prices.

Theres a battery bar on there at min. He wants 38.00 plus postage :woot: I got one for 3.15 plus 2.00 post.

.....:thumbsup:

I know, I watched a bettered and brusied B3 go on ebay 2 weeks ago for £117.

I'll keep my eyes open...

I've noticed parts from the states on ebay are cheaper than here in the UK, that might be my only option.

If I can get mine to look anything like yours I'll be well proud.

Nice restore, I recently bought one off northy, then won a job lot off eBay, I've bought a tbg proline shell. Now the question is do I go easton, padavis, cragg or drescher paint scheme?

Cheers Benson for you kind words,

You will find parts matey....:thumbsup:.

Cheers Westie,

Got to be Cragg or Drescher. I was going to do Cragg as I have Drescher and Cull RC10s, but getting the red right is a pain as most look brown in metallic..... I also have the B3 sticker sheet new in packet but couldnt bring myself to open it, let alone cut and put the B3 stickers on.......

I say Drescher................:thumbsup:

Really nice looking car. Here is one of mine, I have five all together, two runners for racing and three shelfers.

Stunning Chillout,

Lovin the front blue fleck tower and transparent shocks. Very nice matey....:thumbsup:

Thanks, here are the other two shelfers. I don't get to show them off, so your thread gave me a chance. Cheers.

Yeah Baby,

Like I say to the Mrs. GET EM OUT !!!!!

Thats 3 get the other 2 out................:woot:

Looking good Chill.

Get your B3s OUT !!!!!!
 

So if anyone else has a B3 they wont to show,

LETS SHOW THEM HERE !!!!!!

GET YOUR B3 OUT !!!!!:thumbsup::thumbsup:

I wonder why I regret selling xfactor that b3 lol

Il get some pics up once finished, maybe get the decal sheet copied? So everyone can buy them?

It's turning into an AE forum now :woot: looks good Mark I too have been looking at these on Ebay and you can pick up a bargain now and then.
As for the decals I might know someone who can help I'm going to send mine off to see if he can copy them so I'll let you know 😉

:thumbsup:

:lol::lol: Wait till you see the next build Im starting this week :woot::woot:
:thumbsup:

Yet another stunning build Mark! Love the Rory Cull inspired paint scheme!!

The B2 & B3 series buggies had their fans Bitd but never seemed to be remembered with the same affection as its arch rival, the Losi XX. This seemed to be reflected in the prices that these old buggies change hands for (i.e less than XXs). However I've noticed in recent months that they are suddenly fetching quite big money... in fact the general prices of old vintage racers seems to have risen?

Certainly having watched quite a few of them lapping the track at this year's Revival has renewed my interest for them. I remember the B3 & B2s being more lively & possibly trickier to drive than the Losi - they certainly looked that way - & more spectacular to watch going round:thumbsup:

Again xfactor (Mark I suppose) you leave me lost for words, you really do a great job!!!!!

The XX was always the car which handled best! I'm sure we'll see a restore to the same standard on here very soon.

Also, If this is to be raced at the Revival remember the B3 FT came out in 2000 and the current cut off is 1998!!! If it's a shelfer then no worries!!

Cheers Dan and Bretts,

I have my RC10s Drescher and Cull cars for the revival next year Bretts and more being built and started this week....:blush:

I was going to run the B3 but not going to now. Just leave it on the shelf for now........

Thanks Lads....:thumbsup:

Don't want to jack the thread, but you chaps may be able to help....
I have some new (a lot actually) of NIB parts, probably enough to put together a new FT B3, only thing is I'm not sure I have the right chassis. I have three new chassis, only one doesn't have the holes for the mechanical speedo - was it only the FT that didn't have these holes? if so I have the right chassis to start the project.

I bought a pair of genuine AE composite front arms,AE composite rear arms
and a pair of AE 3-3(all B3 parts)from rcboyz on E-Bay USA for around £10 delivered from the West Coast to me in UK.
