Let the modding begin

Man that is really cool looking. I've always liked seeing the old super Beatle builds. You should start a build on it.

I have been wanting to do a Kyosho Beetle build with my son for a few months now, but Kyosho informed me it only comes in stock about once a year.

So I started grabbing a part here and there to do a conversion with a Turbo Scorpion chassis, and now I just need a Scorpion. We will be starting the build hopefully on Nov 6th if I can get the chassis that weekend, but I don't get paid til the 3rd. If we don't get it by that weekend, it will be started the weekend after that as I have him two weekends in a row.

I will post a build series here, with links to vids on YT of everything except the painting. It's a bit too much a pain to film and paint.

This will be a build my son will do a lot on, as it goes together quite easily

Amazing how cheap they are.

 

[Tunedfrog]

No doubt, I figured why not?

When I installed my snow blade on my ATV I noticed a spring missing so I had to order a set. Two were cheaper than one..

I am just amazed I typed in beetle traxxas stampede in ebay and there was actually a Beetle body specifically for a Stampede, not to mention finding one with green tree frog splatters on the front of it. When does that EVER happen?

 

[Tunedfrog]

I guess you got my back brother...

You know it. Can't wait to see it on the truck. You're gonna have to put some decals on it.

 

[Tunedfrog]

I still have a bunch of Traxxas and Stampede decals.

Why stop there, damn it... OK NOW I'M DONE....
