My RC10B2 races restoration.

[m_vice]

Ok, started this new built because I had all the parts ready for it. This is my B2 racer back when it came out. This was the car that made me shelve the tub RC10. I had it converted into a B3 later on and decided to restore it back to a B2 because I believe it had more historical significance than the B3. Don’t get me wrong I love the B3 but the B2 was the first radical change production car and it won the ’95 WORLDS. I really thing this is a very interesting car.
Hope you like it !
More pics coming soon.

Some more pics, I need to take some more in the sun light next time to get more details. This car was a great racer and I remember my first race with it I took the first place on the A-main. The B3 came out really quickly after the B2 and that’s why this one is still in very good shape (plus it has a couple of new parts like chassis, front tower, ball cups and front arms).

Looks outstanding. Great job.

Nice, the B3 made the car understeer while the B2 made oversteer available. I proved a point in the UK indoor nats and proved that I could keep with the 4wd biggies easily. I only lost the A on the last lap against a heavily modded YZ10 on high grip grey carpet. My favourite car and I now have a B£ which I have restored thanks to Tom. B2 is my favourite 2wd car.

Haven't updated this one in a long time, this car was my original B2 that I had updated during the time I was racing it. Now it is sporting a new short chassis and got the original tires on it and for the moment got a B3 body.

Mig, I have some of the correct front tires if you ever want to shelf it

That's a good looking B2! I like the original RC10 but the B2's and B3's are what really get me excited .

I know. Makes me grin (even when I'm losing) in the local racing scene when everyone has a B4 and my B3 is tearing around and holding its own. Of course I'm using a brushed motor and nimhs vs their lipo/brushless setup so who knows what she's capable of?

Nice pics and ride, Miguel.

Are you going to replace any more parts on your B2 to newer parts? I myself am workng on a b2 project. Picked it up for $75 on ebay! But just needs alot of work. Just curious if you were going to do a full resto? Or partial? Know of a place where I can buy 2 B2 unpainted bodies? Thanks!

The B2 was produced for a very short time, and as a result the shells NIP are quite rare. The B3 shells work however

This B2 was my last race car and I will be keeping it as you see above. this car is almos completely restores now. I will probable change the body in the future if I cna get my hands on a new one. As Charlie don't surf mentions the B2 bodies are very hard to find so I have a B3 on it now.

I am going to be working on a B3 soon, fell free to ask any questions and good luck with your restore.

Nice Miguel!
Not to hijack your thread as this is quite beautiful!
I myself will be doing the same here soon. Since in essence my B2 became my B3 before I retired from racing with AE and did not have enough servo saver and other items to keep both my B3 and reassemble my "prototype" early pre-retail B2 with the parts I got from AE, I decided to buy a B2 off ebay which should be here this week, and put my old B2 back together with all the original parts I kept all these years. I still have two of my painted B2 Team Bodies and wings from back in the day as well.

Hopefully here soon, I too will also be able to add my old B2 to my collection alongside the B3 and B4 on the glass case!

Very nicely done here m_vice!!!

Now I feel really lucky I scored an NIB B2 body and wing off ebay last week for $20 I do have another new but slightly scratched up B2 body if we can convince somebody to make a mold

Some good stuff Ruffy, I love my B2. The B2 has one of the coolest bodies in my opinion. I know eventually I will get one.

He Ruffy did you guy use the 3 piece front wheels for extra traction?

[Ruffy]

We used to use them on and off as it allowed the car slightly different traction levels in the front and also allowed the car to fly over the jumps a little differently due to the added weight and rotational mass up front. Kind of really depended on the track and the jumps design if I selected them or not.
To be honest it was a very small fine tune as you could only tell sometimes by means of a stopwatch, although sometimes it just plain out felt better.
I still use 3 piece ones on my vintage cars today.
