Monster Beetle
This came up for sale by mrfreezeuk in the classifieds and I just couldnt resist buying it, just because of the sheer size of the damn thing 8-) Havent had chance to run it yet but have just ordered a 2.4ghz radio so it doesnt run away from me and flatten someone 8-) The car is fitted with a 26cc pull start engine, similar to those fitted in petrol strimmers. It runs on ordinary unleaded with an oil additive, like I used to mix for my old FS1E moped. I should get around 30mins on a tank full. Credit has to go to mrfreezeuk for the great Union Jack with flames paint job. He also made the perspex chassis side covers, upgraded the servo to a high torque version and the pinion gears as they all stripped the first time out.

I did think about repainting it, but the Union Jack and flames are to good to spoil. Maybe I will have to invest in a new shell, they weigh a ton 8-)
