Looks rad so far. When I first saw the picture without the body, I thought I was looking at a Yeti. It certainly appears that you've found a way to save more of those pretty fenders than I did, so kudos to you! My Bug body has proven pretty durable, enduring many blown jump landings and harsh encounters with rocks, so paint her up nicely, because she'll be on there for a while.

im taking pre engineering this year in school and we will have access to 3d modelling software and a 3d printer.. i think this might have a brighter scale future than i origionally planned... im thinking full interior etc etc will have to see what i can manage. im going to practice some on my buddies computer with his 3d printer and see what i can do |

Nice video, but I will have to say I was a bit disappointed, I thought I was going to see some VW action. Also your front end is pretty stiff you should try some softer springs. It does not look to be moving much. |

| Re: Got bit by the twin hammers bug
i tried some other shocks because i dont have any soft spring for these (the spring i have now are traxxas green for a jato shock) the other shocks were plastic and couldnt withstand the abuse. these alum ones are MUCH stonger and work better than the plastic ones i used before. i have been looking out for softer springs though

Now that's new. Can't say I've ever seen a Wraith cage with TH gear done. Very nice! Now, how bout some pics for those of us with short attention spans and limited patience? Lol.

alright well a lot of custom parts had to be made and please dont laugh because they are all guesswork and cut freehand without too much thought yes the bottom skid plate is part of a street sign video up as soon as i take one |
