how did you do your front hex conversion....if in fact that is what Im seeing?

car is coming along, still looking for some yellow rpm 4-40 nuts and rear bumper

I was wondering what options or mods anyone has done to achieve modern wheels on their xxx buggies.

its been a blast building, thanks to everyone for you help and imput.

well there has been a long gap for update pics, but I have been running this for a couple weeks now and really enjoying this, it does well against the modern cars and I couldnt be happier running it. I have a spec 17.5 system in it.

Hi all, putting together a B3 and wanted to see some shock ideas. Im really happy with the 12mm shocks on my "updated" c tub. Has anyone went this direction with their b3s?Becuase I dont have any shocks, Im leaning toward 12mm. Your thoughts......

what material is this tower?

Ok, so I've had some time away, busy busy. Im toying with the idea of putting 12mm associated big bores on this buggy. The problem Im running into is the rc10t front end. the buggy fronts are too short for this tower/front end. Has anyone tackled putting 12mm big bores on this type of front end mod?

Ok, so I need to work on rear springs to get the back end to squat a little better. I have the rpm front tower and rear tower that uses b6 wing mounts.

I got those but I hate to cut up this body so much......

ended up finding outdrives for my used trans, starting to come together, decided to go with the gt front end. not sure how this will work with the body.

here is a pic with the arms dyed, it took a while since they are made of nylon. My goal is to get the chasiss teal and black.

they are Klein arms from Dynotech

I wanted to stay with the teal and black anodizing, I have a guy in Michigan that does a good job anodizing. The chassis was a little scratched up so I sanded and prepped. The teal turned out good, its sometimes a crap shoot with anodizing.
