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!

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....

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.
