Thanks TF! My son is 10 and it was his first time masking/painting/decaling a body himself and he picked the color lol

Both cars look great!
So cool that you got your son involved too!

Curious if the B2 is still a B2 or if its been converted to B3. I really like that one!

Thanks Mike! He has his own Plasma Edge 2 I built for him, but he did some repairs on it recently, but his first body work (thanks too TF for the reply)

So this is a real B2 that was raced (chassis 2 of 2 for buggy, and then the two B3 Trucks were also raced)-I have a lot of the original paperwork from the sale, including this letter from MHOR and the ROAR nationals in 1998, this was a 5 chassis race team and I have them all with over 50 pairs of wheels and tires and all the extras and pit box and that andys body with a vintage clean unpainted one. None of the buggies though have bodies, so I'm going to try to source some vintage ones, this one is a repro.

Such a cool find!

Such a cool find!

It's really probably once in a lifetime find, really wild, but grateful Mike Here's some shots of the tires and wheels we've gone through, there is still a full box with another 30 pair (with foam inserts as well - unused):
