Tamiya Striker -- Overkill!!!

[tecnica2001]

I agree, the tires are off and on my Monster Beetle, as for the Beetle Striker,

i like the fast strike vehicle very much. try the cco1 crosscountry tires or the brat tires maybe. fsv...

FSV (Fast Strike Vehicle) is awesome - bring the small wheels back!

Somehow I had missed this thread... I love hot-rodded underdogs... even if at hear they remain uncompetitive, they are even more so appealing. Fantastic final result, you need proper outdoor shots to showcase the final package!

I have a set coming in the mail, black 1.9 wheels and BF Goodrich lookalikes...

Will do,
As soon as it gets a little warmer, I'm taking it to the beach....

Here's a little update as this project is almost done, just need the left front tie rod, and the nuts and screws for the wheels....

What's new:
Apex 1.9 wheels and tires that look like BFGs
Front and rear hex adapters
Headlamps and covered the opening for the switch with a piece of styrene....

I think the size of the tires are just right for this buggy....

[Mr. ED]

Where did you get hex adapters that work on the front?

This is the one I'm running, I have it on my Monster Beetle, without the little extenders and they work great, you would need he extension if running the shorter axle.
