Hey all.

Is there an easy way to lower the front end of my MB?

The body is sloping slightly back and i think it's possibly easier to lower the front than to try to change the front body mount.

Any/all ideas welcome!

Sounds like you have the blackfoot body mount in the front instead of the Monster Beetle one. The Monster Beetle mount is slightly shorter

Is there any way of telling if the chassis is BF or MB?

I think there may of been a body swap...

MB will have the yellow CVA shocks, BF will have the black friction jobbies. MB has a rear bumper thing where the blackfoot does not. There are probably others, but off the top of my head that's it. Have a peek at the pictures against each of them on the 'cars' page. HTH. David.

That's weird, because mines got yellow suspenders and a bumper.

Suspenders? That is weird []

Any chance of posting a link to a pic of your MB chassis?

Shodog,

Where did u get those wheels on the mb? the silver ones on the foot are nice too, but the yellow ones are sweet![8D]

[Shodog]

TBF those wheels were made by tecnacraft back in the late eighties. they are no longer in business. It's a shame because they look so cool.

Thanks, Shodog.

I got a beetle, then.

It sits funny, tho.

Never mind, eh?
