DOH!

Looks very nice! Is that one of the reproduction bodies? I've got a Tomahawk I'm converting into a beetle, but always on the look out for the real deal.

Happy late b-day! Nice catching up with you on the phone a few weeks ago!
Cheers!

Did I log into familyguytalk.com again? Shat....

I gotta find one of those bodies! That thing is pretty cool!

I don't know but I want it!
Actually I think I have one of those bodies? Looks pretty similar. I never knew what it was for.

I'll send you a 2x4 block of wood for your sofa, just drop the car in the mail for me :D . RCH made a bunch of hop ups bitd for SRB'S. Here is the mono shock rear which looks to be the one on your car. http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=85445&id=470 oh cool! That's the same one. e...

ah man I love that episode.

Nice hop ups on this SRB. CRP butterfly chassis, RCH front end with CRP shock extention kit, and a very cool, and hard to find rear mono shock system that I think was made by RCH but can't be for sure. Look to be CRP rear cage and nerfs. I'd be willing to bet there might even be a Thorp diff in tha...

Here's the score for today. I know nothing about it other than what I was told. It's supposedly a CRP Sprint car conversion for an SRB. Anyone seen one? I've searched around here and tamiyaclub for a bit, but not finding anything. Wondering if anyone here could point me toward more info. http://i47....

Wow, where did you happen upon that find?! Awesome! Are you going to restore them all? They were local finds. I got the two used/painted buggies through word of mouth. Everyone knows I'm into vintage R/C and VW stuff, so word gets around. I got the mint car a day or two later from another local guy...

Thanks Ruffy, Very light anodized tub and nose piece Front spring cups are solid, not split, as are the rear, but they are not the cup type. I have not been in the shocks yet, I will post back with those results. Bulkhead does not have the cutouts if I am not mistaken. Small diameter shock seals nu...

Crazy cat girl? Meh, I'd still wreck that.

I think that is the old Proline bug body. I think Bearrickster has some better photos in the Losi section. Others might know the exact name/part no, but not I :) Ah! Thanks for the help! I did some more digging and found this: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=7825&hilit=proline+1...

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f164/shutupanddrive714/RC%20crap/baja_body.jpg Anyone know who made this body, or have a part number for it? It's a baja bug body but has a sort of cage and bikini top instead of the normal bug roof. I know they haven't been made for a long time, and I've been tryi...
