Hello, I am a new member on this forum and write from Spain. I have several RC cars and i love old school offroad racing cars. 90's decade cars are my favorite. Associated cars is my favorite. I runed several races in 90's with a rc10 b2 and then b3 car. I Sold this cars and never have other. I have good memories of this car, but never had other since i selled it.

Recently i found one B3 and bought it (no bad for 8 USD). This is my start point:

I have some spare parts and almost locate all needed parts.

Welcome aboard.
Wow, this is going to be an awesome build. Can't wait to see this one come together.
I have both B2 and B3 and I absolutely love how those car drive. I didn't think anything would top the original RC10 but with the subsequent versions, you can really tell the AE guys did their homework. The second generation cars are a dream to drive imho. :D

    Rc10 b2 with some b3 parts ( no full conversion ) was the car that i use in my last competition years. I remember use losi hydradrive in this car. Very help in my race time. Spanish tracks used to be very bumpy and loose, and hydradrive was a great help.

    This car will be my new backyard runner.

    Hi, thank you for follow my build. My first RC10 was a B2 car that sustituted a tamiya madcap that i used to race in local club races. B2 was my first real race car and let me enter in more competitive races (regional races and some Spanish Championship races). When i bought my b2, i choosed betwen a losi xx and a b2. At this time I had the posibity of see and try both and choosed b2.

    Regards.

    Welcome aboard Juan and nice project indeed. Should be easy to find all the missing parts.
    Nice avatar too :D The picture was taken by a good friend of mine in a photo studio and it's depicting a car I bought from Masami and which is still in my possession.
