Quick update...
The Scorcher body is FINISHED!!

Now it's time to focus on the chassis and wrap this build up.

Nice Beetles, Doug!

Nice Beetles, Doug!

Thank you sir.

Here are some photos of the chassis with printed arms and rear guard assembly. I've designed the arms to yield a track width to match the Sand Scorcher's.

I saw that, very nice work, indeed..

just a few photos to wrap up this build(s).

That's really come out nice

Excellent work! Any updated pics for these two? Are they still that clean?

The short answer is no. Like most of the collection, they are covered with dust from setting on the shelf.

The boxart body was moved to the Sand Scorcher to finish that build.

The Blitzer Beetle has been converted to a boxart Stadium Blitzer and its orange/white beetle body was moved to the DT chassis.

This leaves one complete SS body set still in the box and I've been tinkering with a new paint scheme for it. I'm kinda, sorta, maybe slightly leaning this direction but it's still early so this will likely change:

There are other projects underway at the moment but maybe some day at least one of these will finally make to the track. Maybe.

Very cool! Need a Beetle family photo when you get them all finished.

Hello Doug,
A beautiful conversion. I am also in the process of mounting a Sand Scorcher body on a DT-02 chassis.
Can you share please your 3d files of printed arms with me?

Thx Dimitri

[XLR8]

Thanks.

Yes, I think so. What's the best way to post the stl files?

[diforce]

How large are the files? Maybe a E-Mail?
