[Monster Beetle, today one more piece]

Nice job Mastino

Are those the lunch box tires?

Smifffy I saw that other thread and the other guys pretty much nailed it.

These wheels are narrower than the stock wheels which I don't like.

You want to make sure you pay attention to the outside diameter of whatever tires you buy, I made that mistake and ended up with tires that looked to small for the monster beetle so I went back to the original tires.

Post up some pics when your done

That Monster beetle came out great, I like the wing!

Jack it's a Trackmaster belt drive transmission, they used to make them for a few cars back in the 80s. It's pretty cool and can handle lots of power.

I believe Trackmaster went out of businesses years ago.

I got this one on eBay

Didn't catch the rear tires till now I wish I dyed the wheels instead of paint they have a lot of chips

As far as the lipo, I don't really bash it just back and forth in the yard

I'm in no way connected with this, just thought it was cool so I figured I'd share.

Wish I was rich I'd buy it all and start building
