I picked up a Team B2. I'm just wondering if it's race worthy? I know it's the driver too...but there's this freakin' Losi XX-CR that's been kickin' butt at the "for fun" races and I just wanna beat him http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif This Protrax Rustler just can't do it(I still got 4th out of 9, not too bad...but I wanna win! win! win! http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif )It already has CVD's, bearings, Novak Reactor ESC, and some kind of stock motor(Fantom I think). Should I get the B3 upgrade kit? Or is the car good enough as it is? I don't have it in my hands yet(should have it next week), but I'm just wondering if it's just gonna be another backyard basher or not. Thanks!

The B2 is race worthy. Just get a good ESC, Stock or Modified motor(whatever you go with)and some good tires. Id go with Pro-Line for the tires, Novak for the ESC, and Trinity or Orion for the motor. Oh yea don't forget to rebuild or get some new shocks, thats a big plus to have! Other then that you will be ready to kick up some dirt at the Losi! LOL.

Go Team Losi!

Might want to look into some good batterys if you don't already have them. Hope i helped good luck with your AE. It should be more then race worthy. Just cuz its old doesn't mean its no good.

your b2 could beat a xxcr, and you could also upgrade your b2 to a b3. check out associateds web site for more info about the conversion.

Okay, cool! Thanks! http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif I'm already looking at new shocks, RPM front/rear bumpers, the P2K motor and anything else that might need to be changed/fixed. I'm not sure what packs to get. I currently have a Duratrax 1500, a Dynamite 1700(this pack rocks!) and some kind of Sanyo 2000...I'm looking to get 3 Duratrax 1800's(affordable http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif ), or I could go with 2 Trinity 2400's. I like Proline tires, but the rules say you gotta use slicks, I'll go check to see if proline makes buggy slicks! Thanks again all. I'll let you know on January 28th on how we did! http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif
