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

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!!

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'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.
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.
