Any good tips or mods for the guys still running B3's, I literally just refilled the shocks (one cap did leak slightly after racing it) and put in new batteries.

B4 layshaft, vts slipper and a few rude tony weights and should be really good, full size servo, preferably metal geared as this adds weight to the front. I dont enjoy driving the B5 but get a thrill when using my B2 hence why im using mine on 28th at Maritime world cup event. Ok my car was modded well before the 3 came out we found the car was much more stable when we widened the front end, but didnt like a wider rear so preferred the same rear end on the B2 as it made the car easier to drive. I also used zero degree rear hubs and mounts (used 1.5 as well)as it made the car more agressive in and out of corners. I also found the standard gold shocks from the stock car were smoother and got a more dialed car. Corally ten double and it was a really fun car to drive, now lipos cause problems as you need to find the weight that the cells used to be but still entertaining never the less.
