[B3.is.King]

To be honest there isn’t really much to any of these buggy’s... and after 10 years out of the sport I don’t see any real advancements (apart from electrics – lipo/brushless) in them to make me want to buy anything over my B3.

All that I can see it that manufactures are making these buggy’s easier to drive, thus buy the latest and win. Although saying that, you’re never going to beat someone who knows their buggy really well and has had plenty of practise with it just by buying this year’s model.

And the tuning never really begins as there is nothing to tune on the B3 apart from the pinion and spur gears and the spring rates but this is done at track side, what I like to call track maintenance.
Oh and to keep this retro I’m still going to run brushed motor this season or at least till I run out of material to lathe off....


Now back on topic

The only reason I have been trying to fit these different shocks is because I had them spare and they add a slightly different stance, plus it opens up options with regards to different springs. (oh plus it’s a little winter project J whilst the weather is real bad)

I will give the losi axles a look, but I think you have hit the nail on the head with the washer idea... maybe I could shim the wheel side axle over 2mm or so as that would keep the dog bone in the output axle at full drop.
