VW body

[RichieRich]

I have an unpainted Dahm's Bugsy body. I'll see if that works. I think the wheelbase might be too short though.

Dahm's body is too short and too narrow. It'll probably work good for a tamiya frog.

a 10t front body mount on the rear shock tower works pretty darn good for bug body.
the pics do a crappy job of showing the tower and body mount, the body posts attach to where the body mount would screw to the front bulk, and it attaches to the tower via the holes in the mount where the posts would normally be at if it were used on a 10t. kinda hard to explain...

my favorite bug bodies are the dahms buggsy and cyberbuggsy bodies.
i can still remember when you could buy them from dahms...

I had a Dahm's Bugsy body on an Ultima/Outrage/Triumph (Frankenstien) project for about 13 years.

It used an old JG (John Gudaven?) mount that I had for the rear & RPM 10T mounts in the front.

It was a racer/beater buggy that I later gave to my son. The body has since been replaced by a Proline Warthog...go figure..

Those Bugsy bodys were tough as football helmets!

I may clean off all the decals & recycle it for another project.

the only buggy that i know of that is a direct fit (wheelbase) to the rc10 is the old proline vw, which was discontinued many years ago.

That one is on my list.

I really liked the proline vw body with the flat top roof wing. id like to find one of those.

Very sporty! I wonder how well that would work on my rc10t project.

[Mr. ED]

not very well: someone posted a picture some time ago of an rc10T next to an SC10 (same size as slash) and they are very different in size
