|  dboy1k's build, take 3 the love bug
After the smoke cleared and the battle was over here is my bug  this chassis was created in mind that it would be cool to look at as well as drive. it has met all of mine and my five buddies that have ones need and cool factor, it does not look like anything we have ever seen before so this is why we created it"we could be wrong" but i have not found another one yet.so here is my build chassis:the beetle juice xj90001 and a half links: the dogmans remote:4pk esc:2 fxr's motors:45t handwounds wheels:dh vanquish 2.2 lockouts: jp customs tires:panther foams:crawler1 shocks:losi 4in servo:jr8711 steering link and battery tray:KK      |

Wow that looks great. I like the creative use of yokes for shock stand offs / mounts. |

Great build !!! I gotta try those shock mounts. Does everyone(5 guys) run that style of shock mounts with the Juice. I'm guessing yes if that is what pushes it out past 3"? |

Dboy and trucknuts do. krawlfreak and I run the regular fuel tubing mounts. now that the side panels are on, it is a true 3" without the shock mounts. |

I really love the use of the bug body on yours..Kinda like Nataliemorgans old rig..She used a bug body surrounded in tubing and was an awesome truck also | |

There is a vendor on this board who sells a product that has been around since 2003 , was for sale in 2005, and yet its claimed they invented it in 2008. In the end there are only so many ways to build a crawler. Nobody is plowing any new ground anyway. Most Twin side plate chassis are so similar in idea, its hard to tell unless you hold them up to one another. There are rumors that some well known chassis company flat out copied another companies geometry hole for hole and just changed the outside shape. Then again there are only so many areas to make holes that would give great link geometry. | |
