And here we go! Kicking this off with the front suspension. Getting the parts out and putting the steering/carrier blocks together PXL_20241007_170450450_Qg2rpG9L47.jpeg PXL_20241007_172202594.MP_8aidNeQf0Z.jpeg PXL_20241007_173425809_QRBiueWT6B.jpeg PXL_20241007_175915835_6gZHxAiw1U.jpeg Steering b...

Ah, that makes sense. The thought crossed my mind, as the wheel and tire bags were not grouped together as they typically are, and they weren't tagged. Really appreciate the info, though! Cool to see how these kits bounce around other enthusiasts. I do want to make this 100% original, so the hunt f...

Please don't feel like you have to do anything here. I have no negative feelings about what went down in the past, or what I have in my possession. Having said that, if you have the 6877 edge tires, I'd definitely be interested in a trade. I love the wide fives, but feel like they're wasted on me. ...

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 ...

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...

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...

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 ...

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

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...

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.
