ED... I plan on collecting as many as my meager budget can get a hold of. I really dont have much in any of them. The ratrod arrived yesterday but it's gonna need a total rebuild. the body was trash as it was damaged beyond repair in transit to me. Its a shame as it was an original Sand Scorcher she...

Jeff, Yes you are easy but why you think we're friends....Birds of a feather flock together... Jim, Well on the frog I'm only into it for $20 for the Brat body, so I think I can get it done for a little cheaper than price of the a new Brat re-re..We will have to see! I may not go with original wheel...

Picked up a few more Tamiya buggies...Heres the new Frog I got for free with a Bug body on it...



and the new Rat Rod Vdub Grasshopper...

There are a lot of people just parting out the re-re kits on ebay...Is how I got the tub for the first Hornet...A buddy of mine just picked up a vintage Brat shell minus windows and rollbar. I just have to talk him out of it as he bought the Brat re-re which had the hard and lexan shell. I'm sure he...

Well a Bug body would fit but already have the 2 Hornets...Plus I want a Brat Re-release but dont wanna shell out the $160 for one. Pretty sure I can build on cheaper as I got this frog for nothing. The receiver is on 72mhz and the plug is the old style G I believe was the name. It's also held on by...

Also have a Frog coming from a buddy that had no use for it...I'm thinking Brat conversion.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/monsterbeetleguy/P1000717.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/monsterbeetleguy/P1000719.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/monsterbeetleguy/P1000718.jpg

the front body mount is just a standard black nylon post. The rears are some leftover Monster Beetle rear mounts I had still on a tree. They need mounted up a little higher as it wobbles a lot, but is still a hoot to drive! Here's a pic. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/monsterbeetleguy/Pictur...

I just won another Hornet for less...well more if you figure in shipping...

The tires on this one are actually AJ's...the rears are quite a bit taller and wider than the stock Brat tires. The fronts are AJ's as well but closer to Brat sized...Thanks for the comments!

Just a pretty much stock King Blackfoot with a Monster Beetle body painted by a good buddy of mine in a Sand Scorcher theme. It has a Tamiya Sport tuned motor, DTX-4 ESC, and TXT-1 shocks and chrome King Blackfoot Rims with Pro-line Moabs. My buddy also added some Cul-tech billet mirrors and hand pa...

I picked this vintage Hornet at a local auction for $15...It came as front and rear ends but no chassis tub. It came with a few pairs of spare rims and tires too and a cool old pit box. I ordered a re-re tub and had it back in rolling shape. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/monsterbeetleguy/Pi...

those wheels are a major improvement over the kit wheels. You would have thought they'd come up with some new ones instead of using the ones from the Mu Type X CC-01 chassis. Keep posting the pics. Cant wait to see it painted!

bump for my post in the gen. forum...

I've been thinking of listing my TMS dually crewcab on ebay and was wondering what a good price would be. I was thinking $150 obo. pics can be seen in the readers' ride section. Maybe Hoopty or melvinsarmy can help me out here..

yeah it is amazing what people will do with too much time on my hands. I do believe you are right about the 10L front end. I've yet to run it yet. Only the front rear axle is driven but I dont think it would take much to make the rear as well. Just dont think I'm gonna tackle it. Makes a good conver...
