That is just plain awesome! What wheels are those?

Thanks!

Front wheels are Pro-Line and rears are RC10 Kidney Beans again with Pro-Line covers. Tires are Tamiya.

Too cool! Everything, top to bottom, looks great. Nice to see the Tamiya modeling details on the RC10.

The Hot VW decal brings back memories of my first car, 69 Cal-look bug

Thank you much! My first car was a Cal-look 70' Bug. I have a 69' Convertible Bug now.

Great job! I love the look and feel of it. Nice attention to detail. Outstanding.

I take it from the engine shot that you aren't going to actually run this car?

Really inspiring build. Lovely work.

I now want to put a more scale style body on my RC10. Any thoughts for other bodies so as not to copy your bug?

[Vintagemishal]

Use anything that you like really. I am not the first to put a Bug body on an RC10, and hopefully there will be more, so go for it!

I have not run this car since the 90's, but did race it back then. I do not have any plans on running this car as I have others I can play with.

As Todd was mentioning in another thread the bug bodies were very popular around these parts (northwest USA) just like his- slammed. They were a great body for roll overs, they would tend to roll back onto their tires. Wish I could find more pics of the old racers

Here are a couple of my Bugs from the 80's. The Brown Bug and Green and White Bug are my Sand Scorcher racer and the blue and red Bug was a friends RC10.
