I'm going to go out on my own here, and say that I love this rig. Mostly for the name. |

| Re: Buxom Melons: Class 2 VW Beetle Yes! A few months ago I gave Melons some love... replaced the broken skid, rebuilt the PL PowerStroke shocks (filled with oil ), new bearings in the Pro4, and built a new interior with driver and passenger. I haven't drove my rc's much this year... in fact, only out a few times before last weekend when I went to King Of The Guru's (only big comp I'm doing this year). I did compete in the first couple NWITTC comps but decided I just wasn't into it. Anyway, first night of Guru's I took her out for a shakedown... she broke axle pins, stripped the front diff, and lost a few nuts and bolts! I put her back together and rebuilt the front axle (new bearings and shims and used the old/worn HD OD gear set) and I took 3rd place in Class 2! Not bad for an old rig and a guy that never drives!
