Chassis differences - lunchbox/beetle
Stav_98 replied to Stav_98's topic in Monster Trucks, 4x4, Wheelie Rigs and Crawlers
Hi Percymon, This is the vehicle for fun and not the one for starting my racing career (thinking of two purchases) Visiting the local club tomorrow (I hope) who run GT12, M Chassis and 1:10 Tour Cars - Thinking of the 'M' to get me started on some racing. Cheers. -

Morning all, Thanks for the responses! I'm edging towards the MB over LB at the moment as I quite fancy the thoughts of tinkering; I also love how it looks. Will sleep on it for a few more days Cheers. -
Been an inactive user for a while so my list isn't too timely 2016 is the year of: An M-05 chassis build (Golf or Monte Carlo - still to decide) - approaching my midlife crisis so this is to get me started with a little track racing at my local club. Restore the Astute I managed to kill in around '92 Source and build either a Monster Beetle or Vanessa's Lunchbox Hoping to buy the first and last items this week.

Hi all, I've a few quid to spare for the first time in ages and am thinking of a coupe of Tamiya RC builds, one for starting my racing career and another for fun. I was around when the original Monster Beetle and Vanessa's Lunchbox were released so am thinking of heading down that route for some fun. I was wondering whether the Monster Beetle (2015) and Vanessa's Lunchbox share the same chassis? I ask the question due to the price difference between the kits (some £40 something) . Supply and demand or a little more hard wearing maybe? Many thanks

Afternoon all, I'm hoping for a little help / advice please, I've had a poke about and I think the answer is 'no' but would like to check. Following a clear out a few years back I've decided its time (for sentimental reasons) to attempt to get my old Astute back in action. I think most bits are there but do know I'm missing Part 3 from C Parts 0005355. I'm not too sure what I'd describe the part as (I'm not technical with this sort of thing), maybe a hub)? Typically these seem to be the only parts I can't find in the UK. Does anybody know if there's an alternative? I don't believe there's a straight alternative but wondering of there's a part that could be butchered? Many thanks in advance for your help. Stav
