Tamiyastef 1967 Posted November 23, 2022 @Re-Bugged This looks great! The camber on the front wheel here is what is usually seen on the rear on 1:1 low ride beetles 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Works beautifully on both chassis! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willy iine 18805 Posted November 23, 2022 @Nicadraus I love your display space in your picture. Nice grab on the motor too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willy iine 18805 Posted November 25, 2022 @moffman thanks for your comments on the alloy wheels. Yeah, since it’s such a vintage shape, I thought it would go well with the shape and color scheme and gave it a shot. I also have 1.9” alloys coming to me for the Kyosho Beetle which is my last of the vintage buggy series. I thought real hard whether to do the Tomahawk or not, but decided on the Beetle. I should have enough cars now to do the little Akira’s corner in my pretend RC shop next summer. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had the same dilemma beetle or tomahawk and i ended up with the tomahawk simply because it was a xmas present and my daughter's asked me to do a list and they picked the tomahawk from said list I would have been happy with either both excellent buggies! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The tomahawk is a classic shaped looking buggy! Are you doing the beetle boxart or something different?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going to do my own colors and decor on the Beetle. I'm thinking a darker (?) metallic color and minimal decals.. Something like burgundy or gunmetal or dark metallic blue or orange something like that. Then going to let the car tell me what decals to attach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh man, not sure.. after seeing @Re-Bugged's master piece Beetle, I hesitate to even type I'm building a "Beetle".. Atleast it's a Kyosho and looks completely different. Thanks for the hope! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OoALEJOoO 3127 Posted November 27, 2022 @Re-Bugged That Scorcher looks incredibly stunning! Very very nice. @Willy iine It is great to see how you come up with new, interesting and creative ways to bend that plastic and make very cool accessories. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Picture or not, you still posted words which was your own complain to start with. Please help us keeping TC a friendly place.

Oh so you wanna chime in? Technically it's still a picture. So I didn't break the rules. "Please help us keeping TC a friendly place" - that's one of the reasons why the Gallery was made for. "Absolutely no words" to keep the politics out and keep the harmony going. Until some self-entitled member ruined it and continued to spoil it. So you're ok with that and not call him out? Instead you call me out for calling him out? Ironic. Not cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RichieRich 685 Posted November 27, 2022 I cleared out the comments in the "no words" thread to clean it up. Remember to let your friendly mods know if there is something that requires our attention. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willy iine 18805 Posted November 27, 2022 As I understood it, the gallery only thread is gallery only. If one accidentally posts words (I've done it too out of excitement) then I think it would be a nice gesture to edit the post and paste it here in the comments thread to continue on with the discussions. I like simple. ..but I guess no one asked for my opinion.. Happy posting. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
