Thank you Mr. Ed.

This is what I have so far on making my custom chassis.


The strips on the sides will be attached with short countersunk screws.

Mr. Lexan has a section in the Buy/sell/trade area where he sells several vintage bodies. Once your post count goes up you'll get acces to that section. Otherwise there's allways the Parma alternative: 1/10 BUG w/Wing - Clear Body - #10340 Mine's trimmed a bit at the fenders and rear, but you get t...

I managed to get in touch with Mr. Lexan, he sent me a link to his Bug bodies. Very nice, but I decided to keep the body I have. I have decided to attempt making a new chassis using aluminum from scratch. (Mr. Ed, if you do send that chassis that is fine, I may need it as a back up if plan A fails.)...

I then rebuilt it using all Avid bearings in the differential and for the wheels. http://i1101.photob...

I'll have to start looking for a chassis then. :) I'm going to have to take pictures so I can open a thread on it. I am also working on a Tamiya DF02. Bought it as a Monster XX truck from Target for $99 ($43 out of pocket as I had a gift card). I like it but it is all plastic as well. Since I would ...

Hi guys, I'm new here. Signed up just because of this thread in fact. I have an old Outrage that was purchased as a "Stadium Baja Beetle" about 12 years ago. I recently bug it out of the closet and decided to rebuild it. I tore it all down, cleaned it up, ordered all new bearings and a new...
