Monster beetle!!!!

[Hemiclod]

Here is my Tamiya Monster beetle. Body still needs paint and detailing. My older brother had one when they first came out in 1986. Always thought looked cool and was something a little different than the norm with the beetle body and gold wheels especially since the chassis is the same as the Blackfoot and Frog.

Very cool. What color are you going to paint it?

Very cool indeed! I'm a sucker for bugs.

Awesome.

Me, too!
I have a Losi Mega Baja still brand new in the box, that's been in the basement for over 10 years now. One of these days, it will see light of day and spew the fumes of nitro!

Well currently tossing around should I do box art or do something a little different incorporate flames or some kind of graphic. Have not decided just yet. Open to suggestions lol.

I have a slew of inspirational Beetle images for when I paint our Kyosho Beetle body. Here are a few I really like.

I do like the true fire…I’m an airbrush guy so I could do that for sure, that’s pretty much what I was thinking as well something along those lines.

BREEEHHHH you got to make a second body for it like the "Outlaw 04"

Yeah, that one is my fav. It would take some custum lexan shapes applied to the body to make that happen, but wouldn't be too hard.
