New Kamtec Baja body!!! What...(prototype)

[Scorchio]

anyone remember this variasion also by UVA

OMG Pete! Thats a flashback []  Remember seeing it in volksworld but never in real life! I'd like a black one to take me to my place of rest when I finally pop my clogs. Ever seen a wizard roadster with baja front end? I did but only the once, and I think theres a good reason for that [+o(].

woundering if it will be available in clear lexan

 

[minijosh]

Hey Kamtec send me one of your bug shells and I'll snap some pic for you. I'll send the body back also. No joke.

[Cul-Tech]

Hey this is cool, whatever the final designs are it will be nice to

have choices for different Bug Bodies for builds. Thats a lot of B's.[] I Smell a new Bug crawler in my future.

[Badboy]

Here some pics of mine. Just semi cut!!!

From the rear

I think Kamtec-Keef has done a awesome job!!!

Thanks Keith for making my dream come thru!

This is the Badboy Baja body!!!  =)

Hi chaps. I have made this prototype mainly to BadBoys pics he supplied.

So lets call it:

Class 5-1600 baja body!!! =)

I think this body is 100% better than the last one and i would buy it (think it looks great any for sale yet keith)

this is the UVA baja wide eyed car built in the 1980s

 

 

Pssst, noticed the TURBO?!!

Cool![H]

 

Grtz Intercooler-Dee.

[Bigwheels_inc]

LOL Dee 

i was waiting to see if anyone noticed the turbo and as far as i know it had a 2ltr camper engine fitted

So this thing would have been one rapid Bug

Just a thought here, I can make up a 3D computer model of an VW engine in such a way that it could be produced in lexan (wont be perfectly detailed but better than nothing) as I've already build one that would just need adapting. I just need someone to CNC the mould plugs (hope thats the right word) from it.

Can anybody do the CNC bit? & does it sound do-able to you keith? 

P.S. I did't notice the Turbo Dee, shame on me [:$][].

I would absolutly buy a engine to my baja!!!

If we can get it 3D modelled I can get it made. Let me know more.

Badboy and Keith - I was a bit unsure about the front of this body at first, but after seeing what Badboy has done to it I reckon it looks great.  Having the right front bumper makes a big difference.

Heres the latest pics of my new Baja class 5-1600!!!

And side view...

Tomorrow I´ll post pics finally painted (hopefully)...

Heres where I´m heading...(and yes I´ll have the bumper arm(?) in black instead of grey)

Hopefully I´ll have it done soon with radiogears and stuff so I can run it fast...

Cheers

Looking superb!

[Dr.Robotnik]

Wow badboy this is amazing. Well done Kamtec Keef too. You both seem to work really fast to a very high standard which is very impressive to see. Keep up the good work and thanks for letting us all share. Cheers

I'm

currently digging through backup CDs to get the engine I built, I'll

have to do things like merge the alternater tower with the fan cover at

rear so the lexan can lift of the mould and then export it as an .STL

file so ic can be made on a CNC. Hope that made sense, will dig a pic

out. 

[Old Busted Hotness]

An engine like this one? []

 

 

[Scorchio]

OMG! That just way cool!!!! Think I've seen it here, did you build it?

Anyway

no nothing like that one LOL. I could model similar but was thinking of

an alternator belt shroud just to make thing easier all round. Heres a

VERY rough and ready knock up of what I had in mind.

 

 

[Old Busted Hotness]

I like it! Looks like it'll fit in the Scorcher cage nicely [Y]
