Vintage Associated RC10 B3 racing at WBMCC

[ste_lazzaro]

Hi everybody!
This is my ride for the indoors Vintage series at WBMCC, wearing a brand new Deja Vu 2 body!
..well, it is a repro..

That's the coolest B3 I've ever seen, loving the rear shock tower & wing mounts!!

Unsure if youve seen mine, thicker cf and schumie boss cat wing mounts. A suggestion put the B4 layshaft in as using a b4 slipper makes a huge improvement on lap times.

Sweet! What's the rear shock tower??

[The Doctor]

Aah, another car I wish I'd never sold...

[ste_lazzaro]

Thanks guys!
The rear shock tower was done by a friend of mine from a 3mm fiberglass sheet.
It allows using the Losi XXX wing mounts, better than the standard steel wire as it doesn't get permanently bent everytime you crash..
Thanks for the advice on the layshaft, does it fit without any rework?

Don't think I've seen it.
Link? Pics?
Cheers mate

Yes layshafts a direct fit. Links below and is posted by Kyosho Fan2. Did an event at Taplow and did 4wd and made the A but esc died so put my B2 down after Ellis Stafford gave me a few tips on springs on the car and with the B4 slipper in car was flying, was actually fighting my way thru the field and chasing for the lead until my esc over heated but showed how good it was.

Nice car mate!
Thanks for the advice, I have quite a lot of B4 spares so I will put together a new slipper for the B3.
Cheers!

Show me please, id be interested in the spares and diff if up for sale.

[adey]

I would sell the car and spared complete but not seperate. The diff has longer out drives too stop the driveshafts popping out. I believe it was made by Paul worsley for the team guys at the time. I can send pics of the car too anyone who wants them via email later today.

Why don't you post them here?

One question Stefano:

Do you still use front and rear B3 axles?

Wonder if there's a difference between B3 and B4 wheels, if b4 would fit without changing setup... !?

Using b4 wheels narrows the rear end, but i use losi axles to give more droop, so doesnt rule out losi wheels which i havent tried.

What about using B4 cvd's and spacers? ...or maybe just the spacers?

[ste_lazzaro]

B3 arms are too short to use B4 hubs and wheels.
You should use B4 arms, hubs, wheels and of course axles.
If you don't already have all the parts available I think it is not worth.
It is not hard finding B3 wheels on the bay...

Front is compatible..
