Thanks mate.... your beautiful B2 pushed me the entire way

I appreciate that. Always fun to watch a tight race play out! I really love the custom stuff you don't see often, or sometimes ever see. Different level of creativity.

Congratulations @Incredible_Serious !

This won't have the cool factor of the custom builds I've seen win in the past, but most of my builds are box art/build manual style, and this is the first one I documented the build on here. Thought it was fitting to have it be the first I submitted for BOTM. The RC10 B2 was my second ever hobby gr...

Thank you, I really appreciate it! Most fun I've had with a build in a very long time. Nostalgia really is something!

I can finally mark this project complete! Was able to track down a set of Flat Stubbies NIP!

Had to go slightly older with the servo. Found a barely used Airtronics 94151. Did the 95155 ever really exist!? Never had an opportunity to buy one. Maybe someday. The 94151 was what most of the pros ran bitd. There is a 94155 Pro series that is period correct for the B2/B3. IMG_7072 (Large).jpg I...

Thanks, I appreciate it! Learned a lot watching a TON of builds on this site over the years. Figured it was time for me to contribute for once

One last post. Thank you to these wonderful Team Associated employees for packaging this thing so well nearly 30 years ago!

Alright, everyone, this is it. Woke up this morning motivated to get the body done. This is a body I had on another car, so it isn't perfect, but the paint was close enough to the box art/Matt Francis design, that It was worth putting on this ride. I removed the stickers that weren't correct, and be...

I must keep running into post picture limits. Just needed a few more to wrap up today's progress. For the tires, I have to thank jcwrks for trading me for the correct fronts. Rears will prove to be a bit more challenging, but until I can track down the Flat Stubbies, a set of XTR Pro-82's will take ...

Alright, we're in the home stretch! I'm getting excited and sad as I get close to wrapping this up. I've really enjoyed this trip back in time, and now that I've done my two favorite cars from my time racing, I'm not sure anything else will come close for me. Now that the majority of the chassis is ...

Speaking of databases..was there ever a B2 variations thread? I know Rod had the 1st version with white steering parts in the 25 years thread- but this car would be a 2nd version by my count (black steering, no MSC holes in chassis, alloy shock caps) then the late version- just curious. Can't wait ...

Alright chassis is together! PXL_20241008_124310872_C46nFyGI9L.jpeg PXL_20241008_124331431_2X3eGqbF2O.jpeg First white part is a silly one, but I dig it! Rear hub spacer. It was black in my later B2 kit back in the day. PXL_20241008_124351830_14L3qcwv01.jpeg Time to build the best shocks in the indu...

Stealth time! Sorry, I didn't get many photos of this part. I got into a groove and was just wrenching away. PXL_20241007_221911982_lsAeapoi52.jpeg Added the rear arms to the bottom plate and installed the trans and motor plate. Slight change to the instructions here, too. PXL_20241008_115241692_8Fa...

Okay, the build continues. Time to mate this front end to the chassis and begin working on the servo saver. PXL_20241007_194224202_IpdWSl3t8e.jpeg Completing the servo saver, making sure to trim off the extra plastic from the part trees. This is a step I didn't take all that seriously as a teenager ...
