This is a nice lightly used monster beetle that will be a runner with hopups.

Nice car Mike. Are you going to throw some of those custom aluminum rims on it?

[mikea96]

Not the first style i have listed but one of the other styles that should be ready in a day or so.

Nice Beetle you got there Mike. I always liked those green shocks on a beetle or blackfoot. Those wheels will look sweet on there.

[mikea96]

They are a very smooth shock and hard to find but i got two cars this week with them.

Here is my style of wheels that will be mounted on this when it is done. I have enough parts that i think i will build two beetles. One original and one with sand scorcher decals.

Car just came in the mail today and it is 10 times better than i expected and it has new robinson racing full 48 pitch tranny kit and sliding axles.

Love Monster Beetles, was my first real RC. Enjoy it!

[mikea96]

Well i have most of it all cleaned and ready to be re-assembled but i decided to make it more stock and have sold the trinity shocks and have the robinson rear for sale since i ordered the new scorcher. I will have some pics up soon.

[mikea96]

Some new pics of the project after teardown and clean. Im waiting for the other two new tires to arrive.

Looks great Mike! Are you going with the same body thats pictured in the first post? Love those wheels

[mikea96]

No i sold that body so someone could use on a shelfer and i bought a new sand scorcher shell.
