Yeah I seen that on eBay this afternoon surly who ever put it on must have seen the mistake (must be a mistake or they are mad!!!!)

[Chooch]

I live on a golf course... I may have to find a sand trap to terrorize... Lol

I'll rake the trap when I'm done...

And they deleted the rear window...

Colour me confused. Silver wheels, and I can see a window gap at the rear of the shell?

[Chooch]

I upgraded to alloy wheels, comes w the gold, gonna use those for my original MB...

There's an opening in the shell for the window, just the "glass" does not have a rear window piece...

[Chooch]

My only other upgrade was ball bearings...

That's because the body and glass are from the Sand Scorcher. It's not the original MB equipment.

How costly is it to duplicate a mold? Wonder what happened to the original beetle mold. Did it become the Blitzer Beetle mold? It's really the one part of this rere that I hoped would be brought back so we wouldn't be putting stickers over the extra holes in the hood and roof.

[Chooch]

Yeah, I noticed that extra hole too... Haven't come across any reason for it as of yet...

[RCcoachworks]

It's there because the body has been repurposed so many times it's got mounting holes for three different models.

Son of a mother!!!!

Just paid for my 2 coming from Stella. Only to.d her indoors about one of them...lol

Are those painted wheels or aluminum? They look very nice!

[Chooch]

Those are aluminum... Very light, very true...

They were $80 for the set...

I ran it in the grass today... Tomorrow I'm gonna find a big empty parking lot to open it up in...

I think I'm gonna change the rubber to another set I have, because the asphalt tears up the spikes on the stock tires... So that being said, we shall experiment...

Bit pricey, but wow, they look good

[Chooch]

Yeah, I wanted to do it w the original, but as a teenager, either you don't have the money or something else was more important... So now... I did it...

Well, I'm here tonight for the very same reasons, haha.

[RCcoachworks]

Got through everything tonight up until the shocks. Have to pick up there tomorrow night!

[Chooch]

Must be the spot... That's where I was last night...

[RCcoachworks]

Yes, shocks are not something I want to build when I'm tired

[Chooch]

They weren't as difficult as I expected...

[lee1980]

That mean there's just a hole for rear window?
