Rc10 b2 project

Post by mikea96 »

Picked up this lightly used b2 roller that I tore down cleaned up and added new front tower and new rear tires and bearings to the steering. I will replace some other parts as I go as well as some of the hardware.

Sweet! I think a B2 would be cool to have. That looks like a nice example.

Who do you race for ?
Me……. I race for me.
That’s impossible, I was told you need a sponsor to race.

Anybody seen any other photos of Cliff Lett's B2 from the 95 worlds? This is the only photo I have been able to find!

Got a couple screen grabs from the iconic Gene Husting RC vids.
Maybe they’ll be helpful. Or not :lol:

I bought one used years ago, like many years ago. Proceeded to add a brushless system and ran the you know what out of it. Rear tires are bald from the pavement.

It sure was fun, but the chassis is so beaten up now. Ah well, that was then. Yours looks very clean, nice car for an easy rebuild.

Very nice example. Are you going to run it, or will it be part of a collection? What electronics are you thinking of going with? B2 was always a cool car to me. Such a big departure from the original RC10, but in a good way!

Just a shelf car not a runner and I'm looking for green label Reedy Sonic motor and LRP ICS esc and probably use Airtronics servo and reciever.

Very cool. I may do a B2 build after I finish my Worlds build. Looks like B2's in this condition are hard to come by, though!

A few years ago those items were easier to find. I've had a tough time finding good electronics from the early to mid-90's lately. Good luck with your search!

Why not a Hammer Pro or G-12? Are you doing a Francis replica?

A Novk Tempest would be good for the B2 era. Both showed up at the 95 Worlds.

I tried a Tempest but it is such a large esc.
