I was hoping to use a M-02 or 04 chassis to build this, but no luck. So I made the chassis and used left over M05 parts and a combination of Yeah Racing & 3Racing M-05 parts. I made the chassis as narrow as possible.
The dif & pinion gear are the large & small gears that fit inside the dif spur gear. The axles were shortened and I used a spacer w/super gel glue to hold them together. There are 2 pick points on the front suspension using the 3Racing adjustable camber kit. The front & rear suspensions are self contained on the aluminum center blocks, which are held in place with 2 screws. The wheel base is adjustable. Widened HPI Fuchs on the rear, and narrowed HPI Fuchs on the front. Full lock to lock steering, and the back tires clear the inside of the body. With a 2:1 gear ratio I went with a 85T crawler motor, HobbyKing esc ($10.00) and 2S lipo.

that looks cool .. i wanted to do a vw bettle body on my m05 but got side tracked by other cars

Nice, that looks like a quarter-mile magic bus! I love seeing stuff like this...modding a chassis to custom-fit a particular body and making it look right is quite an undertaking. Great work.

The best part? You've built an RC that's unlike any other; nobody else has a car quite like that one.

That is awesome! Will you build me one? Seriously!

Man this is truly one of kind! I love it! You did a really nice job on all the custom bits and good tip for shortening dog bones. Where were you a week ago when I was customizing a TL-01 chassis to fit a General Lee body?


Nice job!

This is killer mate congratulations,love the Fuchs wheels... A discrete powered by Porsche badge would be sweet..

Very cool!!

Glad to see some bus fans.
The bus build was part of a Bonneville Salt Flats tribute, and goes with this build done last year. http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=33754. I have a soft spot for car haulers.
SFC K: I've been sliding the bus around on hardwood floors, the Super Glue gel is still holding the axles together. The second option was to put a couple of set screws through the spacer into the axles.
Bully: The bus is similar to my '68 VW Crewcab running a modified 911 3.2.
mk-Zero: 231hp in a bug must be a blast.
thanks.

Love it!

Nice build!
