I would've loved to have used it, but it stuck out a little too far from the body.

Hmm, fake motor might work...

Great job! More importantly that first pic brought to mind the Bugs Bunny cartoon with Gossamer and the mad scientist! "Cummmm Baaack heeeerre rabb-itt!" Coincidence that it's a VW?? I think not.

Taa Daa!!!

Th, Th, That's All Folks!

It works great!...one of the smoothest transmissions ever..turns on a dime.
Next stop: THE BEACH!!..for some glamour shots..

Man I love that body. The manx imop was really cool. You did an awesome job on the motor. That is one sweet looking ride great job.

That is one hell of a cool project - great modelling skills and vision

Thanks,

I'm glad that it's finally done.
I got lucky on the motor, most of it was just spare parts. It's not quite a perfect 10th scale replica, but I can live with it.

Now I can finish up a couple other projects..

Thanks,

I was just lucky that a lot of odd (mostly) spare parts seemed to work well together.

I probably added a few more new parts that I had originally planned, (front bumper, wheels, tires, body) but that's the nature of the hobby I guess...


I might have a little vision as to how I'd like a project to turn out..but, it's the patience part I have trouble with...

Very cool!! Maybe this one will make it into RCCA as well

Just when I thought I was done....

But hey,..I finally found a good use for a crappy Kyosho Kelron chassis....

Just a little more fine tuning..

Thanks!

I might just send a picture in.

Pre-beach high-rez test shots..

AWESOME!

Team CRP comes through again..super fast shipping too!

My fabricated Ultima/Aluminum tubing axles failed the moment I hit the throttle at the beach..the last photo showing the LR tire throwing a rooster was from the diff unloading.

I can't wait to floor this thing the next time it's in sand!

If anyone has a ton of spare parts and wants to build one of their own, the axles are from Tamiya's Hummer/Mustang series: (45mm)...all steel, perfect fit with Triumph/Ultima/Dual Sport rear suspension... & shiny too!
