Default Bugs and Beetles Thread - Show us yours, and go ahead and talk about it.

Lots of bugs out there, let's see what kind of VW Beetles are being run. Show us some pics and tell us about yours.

Here's mine. SCX10 chassis and Carisma MD10T body. Nothing fancy. Link to the build in my signature.

Tamiya CR01 with "a few" mods. One of my favorites.



Older shots, very capable and tough rig.
