Marder to Beetle Conversion
Does anyone know which parts i would need to convert my marder to a beetle. I just need the side mounts, rollcage mount, and the beetle body, right? I know there is a conversion kit, but i dont need the tires, the gear, the exhaust, any of that stuff. I just need the stuff to mount the body to the car. Thanks

marder22....If you already have a beetle body then you will only need the beetle under tray. Part #6203. If you have a FG catalog 3 the part numbers are on page #18. The under tray has two body post side mounts on each side to secure the beetle body. Hope this helped with what you're looking for.

fg actually produce a conversion kit with everything you need to go from marder to mt stats. check out rapid racing i'm sure they have the mt conversion kit in stock.

RE: Marder to Beetle Conversion
The conversion kits are overpriced IMO- around 300 Euros. I would just buy another RC car. And 500 Euros for the Marder to MT conversion kit is a rip off, another 250 Euros gets you a complete FG MT, and considering getting a engine with a new model (obviously) plus get to keep existing model as it is, plus have another....

You'll need a 90 degree elbow joint for the exhaust and a length of pipe to run out the back.
Without this mod you'll just pump exhaust smoke in to the beetle shell, probably melt it and get all upset
