i dont like that beetle body too much,i would like the mt version better.

i think they can still be got through hobbythek germany but i dont know for how long more.....

they are expensive enough as the last one i got was 150euro or more.(expensive because getting rare i think)

that rat desert body would be my next choice i think for my beetle would be nice to add to the collection.

thanks dc2man, we used the og beetle mold and then just made our own roof,hood and side scoops, now that we have the molds it is pretty easy, but making them was alot of work...

dc2 man

man that beetle body is sweet,the bonnet vents look mental.........


nice work,i can imagine how tricky the first mould must have been man.

victory-rc

dc2 man

yeah man i get you,wait till you see the engine that im getting for my birthday in a few weeks may the 26th,the g270 cad four bolt raceported/blueprinted engine,its going to be scary,i spoke to people in germany who had them and even in hobbytheks shop they were telling me it wasnt a good choice because it was just too powerfull and hard to control lol my delight........they are very nice and genuine in that shop because they are not always trying to sell you the most expensive stuff the whole time...... man its going to be insane with the jetpro pipe......weighing in at a hefty 750 euro its not cheap but sure the way i look at it is its a one time solution for power with out spending money here and there on upgrading this and that to the engine in search for power the whole time.

i even have the rims upgraded to elcon reinforced adaptors to take /handle the power

man stay tuned here because these videos with this new engine are going to be INSANE !!!
