Nice score, I raced a T3 4 years years ago, and loved it. (Though as a 14 year old I wasn't very good :lol:) I was shocked when I found out that they came out in '97, they will still easily hold their own with the T4s and B4s.

Have you found wheels? Those are a biotch to find now. I found an original B3 body not too long ago.

I found the white proline fronts and white proline rears which i think are what came in the factory team kit. I found the bodies buried in a stack of bodies at a local hobby store.

No, I will not help you with your dorky short course truck…sorry, it’s against my religion. If it's not a 1/10 scale buggy...I don't care.

I saw you put up some stuff on ebay, you are still building your B3 right? Wish I had some extra cash right now, I've been collecting parts for one as well. I could REALLY use your chassis, the one I have acquired had battery slots cut by hand and they are pretty hack. I'll be watching.

Are there no aftermarket wheels available for the B3? I checked the Team Associated site and only found fronts. I checked some other sites with no luck.

What options are available if rims can't be found (different axles)?

Thinking about picking up a B3 but if I can't find wheels...
