I know you don't realize because you haven't spent a lot of time with Chip, but trust me. You have no idea that you have just sealed the fate of this RC.

The first time I met Chip and he took his brand new slash out and gave it the "durability test" by spinning around in a circle like a discus throw and launching it full force across a blacktop parking lot. Keep in mind Chip is one of the biggest people that I know.

It's called Slash bowling Charlie.

I can't believe you hacked up that body. I would have gladly given you $100 for the body.

The check's in the mail, go ahead and send them my way

Really though, I might just have to buy them all to save them from the awful demise of having someone rip a huge hole in their ass for a shock tower. Bug bodies were NOT supposed to go fast.

 

[Webbage]

No, you'll just chop off the sills, rear end, arches, front fenders and front headlamp panel off to stop em catching on your crawler tyres. That's so much better than cutting a hole at the back for a shock tower...

Not the bug bodies, all of mine are still sitting in the original packaging on the shelf. These babies are a piece of RC crawling history. I found out why Chip did the deed, he just bought another bug body over on that other forum. Ask Chip about my bug bodies, he was trying to trade his entire hobby room for my entire hobby room the last time he was up here lol.

Careful, you're staring to exhibit symptoms of Rolex's Syndrome

poor Rolex, he gets bashed more than his savage! lol

 

[Webbage]

We would sit him on a shelf and muse at his beauty but the rest of us folk get a kick out of bashing the hell out of things

I've never been much of a VW fanatic. I saw a load of Bug bodied trucks at the UK Nationals and thought they looked cheesy, so I decided I didn't want one. I just don't like Bugs for some reason, I've never really known why, I think it's because I don't like the old0fashioned styling, it's not the type of old fashioned styling that appeals to me.
