Awesome that you have everything intact, and yes, that's very young to have such a car.

Welcome to the forum, nice first post.

Nobody maybe knows, but kinda curious how many of these in original good condition there is

A B2 is probably the rarest of RC10's, except maybe the original Worlds cars. They had a short production run before being replaced by the B3, and there was a kit available to convert them into B3's.

As such, parts aren't common either. I've actually passed on a couple B2 purchases because of this.

According to AE's timeline, the B2 came out in '95.

TBH, before reading this thread, I didn't know there even was a B2!

The B2 is an extremely well handling car right out of the box.
However, durability can be a problem. I've found that the front arms are very easy to snap and replacements are hard to find and expensive when they come up for sale.
For this reason, my B2 resides on the shelf.
Maybe someday I'll cut some new arms from delrin so I can drive the car again. It's a great racer.

Your car is a B2 Sport. If you haven't seen it, there's a 25 year history of the RC10 thread here: https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=13059

Cool car, RcFinland! Are you aware that we have a vintage racing series this summer in Finland? Today is the last day to register for the first race.

Since that is a digital servo, be sure to limit it's travel to prevent damaging it. They are less tolerant to being overdriven than analog versions.

Your old Hitec doesn't have individual end point adjustments but it does have an adjustable steering rate control.

There's vintage class on same days as 2WD 1:10 nationals. The first one is in Vaasa next week, the second should be in Vantaa in July. Check rc10.fi for details.
