These are B4/T4 hubs.

Only difference between a B2 and B3 chassis, is the B3 has two extra holes to accommodate a rear anti roll bar.

Sorry for poor image, but have circled hole for ARB on a B3 and is not applicable on B2's.
P.S. Just noticed your edit

Forgot to mention, i found the best way in the 90's at the highest level of keeping the front wishbones in one piece was to do the method on both b2 and b3 and use two metal wishbone plates, you will need to cut away an area of the wishbones to do this but does add a bit more strength.

Brass thin plates that are a perfect fit for the battery section, basically i use several to get the car up to the weight of scrc or nimh batts as the batteries used then were much heavier.

So its a straight forward mod, the thing is I raced it last week for the first time in 15 years with all the old gear just 2 new nicads, so the thing is do i play about with the B3 or just by a B5M and modern electrics...

Another thing to consider is parts, as they aren't as readily available as for something like a B5M. It comes down to the amount of use and your ability to keep it running as breakages and Wear will take its toll... I race vintage in vintage class once a month ish with a vintage car, but a modern buggy week in week out. Oh and modern electrics all the way unless it's a shelfer or used once/twice a year.. |

As per above, personally would choose wisely, B5 isnt easy to drive and didnt like it so would advise asking to try someones before buying. Im running mine as my sponser cant get me the new sworkz in time for the next event and mods arent expensive but does mean i wont come last.

maybe I should use if for a few weeks and see if Im going to stick at it. I'd like to but I guess its the family. Then take the plunge...
So if not a B5m what should be on my list, my first time racing as a kid I only raced Cougars, then when I came back in 2000 I bought this B5 from a guy for about £70 and it seemed a great car, no issues at all. I have an 13 triple in it, running on nicads and its plenty fast enough in a straight line, but I guess the newer cars handle better. |

Back on track now, a decent amount of progress the last couple of days. It's on the final straight :-)
Front clip now on, made up a decent steering link (remember from my b44 that the stock link had a tendency to let go) Got this little monster to power it up. Should be plenty with a bit of boost. And how it's looking atm. Rpm front bumper too :-) |
