Monster Beetle Is Here

[JESSE G]

HOLY CRAP!!!! That thing is insane, Does anyone know what the estmated top speed is of that thing.. For the same amount of $$$$ I could build a real monster Beatle lol There is a guy who has a shop about half a mile from here and they buy and sell bugs. The name of the company is Al,s Bugs me. Anyway they have a bug set up like a baja bug and there asking 700 for the rolling chassis then spend 500 on a motor and there ya go lol. That is awesome though Ryhton probally the coolest rc I've ever seen. That FG Monster Truck/ 26ccm is also very sweet. can't wait to see your vid of it :jet:

ok i'm lost, i saw this post for a monster beetle and i thought some1 scored an old tamiya....i saw the pic and i'm lost.

sorry i'm old

JESSE G, they rate them at 40 to 45 mph and they have a lot of torque

UltegraSTI, they are put out by a company called FG manufacturing in Germany, I think they just stole the monster beetle name from tamiya. This beetle is a lot bigger than the tamiya version.

Yes it was kinda spendy but I was looking for something I could run almost anywere with minimal restrictions, and this one foot the bill. I was looking at doing a mugen buggy and that would have cost about the same by the time I got the prospect kit and a nice mill and radio gear. The kids just don't get to eat for a few months, and then it will be payed for......lol

 

[UltegraSTI]

Food is overrated anyway...

 

[JESSE G]

lol yeah kids dont need to eat. I have 4 kids thats why I only have one nitro rc hehe. Rython that is a sweet ride. That would be cool to see that huge thing flying by at 45 mph hehe

 

[olds97_lss]

I have no kids and only 2 rc's... apparently I'm an underachiever?

 

[JESSE G]

[CorradoPsi]

Olds, thats just pathetic man. either get busy, or get some more RC's!

I'm at 1 kid and 8 RC's

 

[olds97_lss]

I have a sick wife who can't work (chronic migraine sufferer), 2 stupid cats and 2 RC's... It's pretty much all I can handle.

 

[RAMTech-RC]

These things are awesome. I finally have everything ready, so this weekend I'll be running mine.

 

[Ryhton]

RAMTech-RC,

You are going to love this thing, they are wild. Just becarefull they like to wheelie.

 

[lykan]

Nice.. let us know about durability.. from the looks of it it's a basher for sure..

 

[CorradoPsi]

ok Olds, ill retract my statement, you have cats. those things are just evil to begin with, and to top it off they make me sneeze and eyes water.

guys, we are definately going to need some video of those beasts.

 

[Ryhton]

What kind of servos that thing have in it? A servo for each wheel? I can't even imagine there tourqe them puppies are.. Did I mention I'm jelouse??

Ryhton- Ill donate some grapics to ya if yad throw a small "Andy' Graphix" Tag on on it. I could even have them set up so you could use them as a parma mask if yad like. Lemme know, That thing kicks ass!

4u2nv, sorry dude I missed this post, I already have the beetle painted but if you want to shoot me an Andy' Graphix I can run it across the windshield of the beetle. I like the look of the one you have on the truck lid you just painted. Looks sweet.
