that body is the one TBG sells, with the BIG scoop.

Sorry to hijack this thread.

Can we just clarify real quick:

body #6133 is for RC10B2 (non-'Sport' versions)
body #6140 is for RC10B2 'Sport' Edition
and,
body #6142 is for RC10B3 (early)
body #6154 is for RC10B3 (later) - AKA the "Deja-Vu Tu" body

Does this seem correct?

[jwscab]

looking at the manuals and parts lists for B2, B3, your list appears correct.

Updates coming soon!

Phuu! Was a bit worried there

[mikea96]

Picked up a NIP set of RCPS turnbuckles and hinge pins today. Build pics coming soon.

Did you assemble the turnbuckles yet? I had some issues with mine. OldRc had 2 sets in stock. Ordered one and found one of the short turnbuckles had messed up threads. Just could not get the ball cup to thread on. Ended up ordering the second set and found it also had one that had a thread issue. Under magnification the threads visually did not look finished - very burr-y. Both were a LH thread. I guess they didn't check their parts 100% when running.

Just curious how you make out.

[mikea96]

Not yet i will find out i guess!

[tommy2c]

Well hopefully you have a good set. I'm going to try and salvage a set by seeing if I can chase the threads. If I'm unsuccessful I'll have some spares if you need them!

i would like to get a b2 kit also as its the car that came out when i got out of the hobby .. looked around for one but havent seen much yet .. would be nice to find a boxed one

[mikea96]

Ok big update here. So i got the new tranny attached to a new chassis. Also installed a set of new RCPS titanium turn buckles. The lower rear plate without cutout for the tranny will be ready in a few days. Just realized the screws on the rear tower are backwards...

[mikea96]

Motor plate should be ready today and i picked up a nice Reedy sonic also.

[uniquenamehere]

Did you make that stealth brace? Pretty cool!

[mikea96]

Nope the tranny, motor plate and that brace came from a Associated driver from the mid 90's

Damn! You must know someone who knows someone that knows someone to get a hold of these kinds of parts
