Default ScaleReady's 1.55 Ultra4 Baja Bug Build
OK, it is a 1.7 rig, so in the land of confusion that it lives in on this forum, I found it a home here. This is just the beginning of something good. Lots of metal work is in the future. Hopefully this thread doesn't grow too much moss, as it will be a slow build up. Please follow along and I hope you enjoy!!

I hope there's a Knight Customs engine involved.

Thank you guys! Wheelbase is 11-3/4 I believe. Whatever a stock twin hammers is. As far as small front wheels, no go.

There are multiple reasons for not doing it. I wouldn't have matching wheels and tires anymore, as I am not aware of a 1.55 or smaller M/T classic lock wheel. Gearing would be off, and I want to keep the tires all spinning the same speed. However, they do make a nice set of wheels designed just for these sand scorchers.

Thank you! I'll snag you one when I get home. The wheelbase of the hammers is a bit long for these, however it does give it the stretched out Baja look really well.

Thanks man!!!! I'm gonna keep the metal work tasteful and realistic. Which is always my goal when I do anything. I agree, bugs are badass. I used to have a '66 Baja w/ an 1835 in it. Now I have a '63 that I am dropping to the ground.
