Rc10b2 factory themed build

Post by mikea96 »

Wanted to build my version of a factory team themed rc10b2. This is being built from an original barely used b2 and a mix of new parts. Here are my metal parts after coming back from anodizing.

The rear chassis plate is different between the b2 and b3. The b2 version is straight on both sides, and the b3 has a built in motor guard on the left side. They can easily be made to look like a b2 version by cutting it off though.

Like Jason said the the b2 rear chassis plate was narrower with out the motor guard built into it so i sent out the original black b2 parts and had them re-anodized in blue.
