A friend built this up out of parts he had,an HPI RS4 M/T Beetle body,Traxxas Anaconda wheels/tyres etc...You'd be hard pressed to guess there's an Turbo Optima under that body!
Well done,Mark (builder)!

Love the way it looks, but don't those big tires touch the body while cornering?

LOOKS SWEET, here is a kyosho tomahawk that I picked up off ebay earlier this year that was overhauled frame was powder coated bright red he used the same hpi body your friend used with a little different flair, he cut out the motor section and added a wingit came out pretty cool even though the paint job is crappy. I have plans on changing the body to a kamtec tamiya bug someday.

wow.........really superb mod !!......

I guess the Turbo Optima's designer don't even think of such kind of modification........

That Tomahawk is BAD ASS,man!
I dig it
I haven't asked if the wheels rub...
