We've got a few B3's racing at our club. The B2 are sought after these days
Im in Lichfield at the moment - I have done some touring car racing at staffs indoor at the past - but I think my nearest 1:10 off roard club is in Great Barr in brum (poor track, small crowd, good fun though).
Your post made me do a bit of an Inventory - got 2 B2's both at FactoryTeam/Worlds spec, I never thought I'd have the gear long enough to see it start to rise in Value again! Skimmed a motor the other day - going to see which of my bits of kit still work. It seems that someone could still be competative with an older car - but it would probably more fun with more modern electrics, might have to do some shopping!
All the chassis I have seem solid enough - though I'm glad I never skimped on lubricants/cheap seals etc. Only had a couple of leaky shocks, most diffs seem ok despite some of them not turning for 4 years or more!
What does everyone here think of this new fangled spektrum style radio gear?
I currently have a 40MHz KO EspritII Vantage tranny, but many of my recievers are looking a bit worse for ware, serveral of my crystals sets seem too have packed in too, and the module that contains the crystal that goes into the base of the tranny is missing a lug (makes it a bitch to change 5 mins before your final!).
I'm thinking that I can either get a specktrum stlye module to convert my current tranny, and then move the new reciever between my cars depending on the event (save having loads of raido gear like I have now), or I can just get a new tranny thats specktrum from the get go (though I'm not sure of the torque and speed of the spectrum branded servos's that they ship?).
Ideally want to be running a buggy and saloon, have a steering servo permanently in each and then just be swapping the Speedo, motor and personal transponder between events if needed (just thinking I will struggle to find buggy racing all year round so will be handy to have the saloon ready to go)
