Anybody still run one of these?

Nope not that I know of, but I will be running a B2 at the next Petit if its happening next year. This car is a better car than the B4 so I would hold onto it if I were you. Better quality product.

Like Welshy I still race my B2 buggy with decent results :thumbsup:.

These cars despite the 1995 design are already lipo ready and can handle easily the power of a modern brushless motor (7.5 on mine ;)).

Looks nice!
Not quite a B3, but I am still running a T3, have enough spares to keep it running for ages hopefully!

I was racing my B2 until last year, but I'm now down to my last pair of wishbones. I don't dare race it again until I find a decent spares supply. Does anyone know where I can find any? I think I got DMS's last pair.

Also do the B3 wishbones fit, and are they significantly different?

At the front you can use the B3 wishbones without any modifications, but always use two arms of the same kind.

At the rear if you want to use the B3 arms you also have to change the rear hub carrier because the arm is a little longer and the hub has a different offset that compensate the additional length.

Probably also the Tunder Tiger Phoenix BX ones will do the job as this car actually is a B3 :thumbsup:.

My suggestion is also to use the RPM front bumper, because with the original is quite easy to loose the front e-clips and when you hinge slide a litte out it is really easy to break the front arms.

Its easy to get spares from eBay USA, you just have to look to see if they ship worldwide.

I have a pretty mint B2 Team car with some B3 parts, still a very fast car. The build quality of the thing is very impressive, I guess they were still made in the states during this time?. I only drive it once in a while due to the parts not being all that easy to get. I plan to change it back to 100% B2 soon
