[hobbes]

thunder tiger bought team associated a couple years ago.

i'm just reentering the world of rc's after a 10 year...break...

Are you pulling my leg?

Edit: nevermind, google confirmed what you said.

Thank you.

So quality wise, its the same?

Are all the components of the Phoenix compatible with the B3? The front shock towers look different between the two but will the Phoenix tower mount to the B3 bulkhead?

Bumping this thanks to a screwup tonight with a $@#$@#$Q@#$Q$'ing stripped screw in the front nose brace that wrecked the chassis mounting hole. Now I'll need a new chassis.

The part # for Thunder Tiger provided earlier in this thread does not return any results on ebay and this listing for example doesn't have it. This looks like a B3 chassis but is it?

I know I have submitted a link to ebay so please have mercy on me and don't drag this to another subforum like the ebay section please.

Tower has it too:

This is a complete parts list for the Phoenix BX:

I picked up a B3 a few months ago and from what I've read, this list should keep your buggy in good shape.

Hate to bump such an old thread, but can anyone confirm that the Thunder Tiger chassis will indeed allow me to bolt on the front and rear halfs of the B3? Broke a B3 graphite chassis last night

Yes it will bolt right up, seems like a tweeked re-mold of the B3. The material TT uses isn't the same as the 'ole Asso composite, just a bit weaker. It should get you by for a while. If you run a short chassis, I believe Sheldon's Hobbies has a few of the originals

Is it best to just call Sheldons? Any idea on part number they would have so I can call in as informed as possible?
