Classic Bugs

[CertifiedMike]

I kid and all, but I gotta say my local USPS is very reliable compared to other regions across the US, according to complaints I read on forums and such.

My post office/mail person are great too!
I've lived in other places where the postal service was should have been prosecuted for willful destruction of private property!

Oh and after posting that tracking earlier, it updated and it’s out for delivery today

Tracking says it's now in my home state of NH. 11 days from China....pretty darn good!

USPS came through! 12 days from China to my door. Impressive!
I won't have the time to attach all the chrome trims until Sunday.

Thanks! Looking forward to running it on Sunday because I'll working a double shift tomorrow.

I actually wished it was a hard top. I'm not a fan of convertibles or windows on roofs.

You said only 6s for the first run, right???
I hope it drives as good as it looks!

Sure........if I want a mound of molten plastic

 

[CertifiedMike]

Molten plastic was the REAL mother of invention!
UPGRADES!!!

How are the tires on it?
Suspension?
The exterior details do look nice!
I always had a soft spot for the bug so I like this one!

There's a video I linked on the first post. He does a good review and ran it at the end of the video. It seemed rather impressive !

 

[CertifiedMike]

I remember the vid, just wondering what you had to add.
I'm sure we'll know more after you run it!

Oooooohhh... Did you buy bearings for it yet???

 

[Chubaka]

That has no bearing on the first run.

 

[Xraycer]

Negative. The car only goes up to around 6mph. I doubt I'll need it any time soon.

Understood. The bearings wrre a thought only because of the prior comment.
I put bearings in everything. Wasn't sure how you "rolled".

 

[Chubaka]

Negative. The car only goes up to around 6mph. I doubt I'll need it any time soon.

But the bearings can make it a whopping 6.5mph. Maybe 6.75 or in rare occasions 7 mph.

Starting a scale town?

I still think this is right.
I'm pretty sure bugs had like 45hp.

This bug just looks too narrow, too tall, and too top heavy to go much faster.
