Baja swine flu bug
This is my Superchamp chassis bought very cheap on ebay cleaned ballraced etc. The Monster Beetle Body was in a sorry state, I should have started with a new Blitzer body wouldve saved some time but I dont like waste I suppose.
Thanks to toykid for his advise sometime ago and Volksrods car was an inspiration. Rad alloys look cool.Bumper made from and old cooking pot. I wanted some running pics but the hump battery was lame. Any ideas for decals?
Thanks for looking!

wow!!! This is so awesome! And I really like that the body 'sits' low (at least it look low, COOL!) Looks SPLENDID without decals imho!!

Whoa! Fantastic lookin' bug! Silver decals/stripes somehow? Or just some numbers? Probably best left alone as it looks great.

No decals pls , leave it stealthy. The SC rear end looks really cool. Best SC Beetle I have seen
Road Burner

It's always cooler to know that you made it look this good by means of restoration. Buying the new body would have been too easy. What an awesome looking ride!

very cool bug! The stance is both realistic and fuuuny at the same time, Nice!

That looks really nice, I like the back end, the S Champ has a bit more going on rather than just the SS plastic cage. As for decals - looks pretty fine without any !!

very nice and clean, love the exhaust coming out of the back. where did you get it from?
Trevan
That's fabulous!! I'd leave it as it is - I don't think decals could improve it.

This is indeed one tuff bug. I have to agree that they look so cool with the SC rear. Well done.

I think I will follow your advise no decals, The exhuast was bought on Ebay I think the supplier is a TC member. I had to modify to fit,Thanks Legos the Kamtec body had many uses. Thanks Toykid for putting on T101 cheers again guys for all for your nice comments!

Love that bug mate! The simple one colour style really suits it. Tough as nails!!

Thanks Delux I really admire your bugs too If I could mask as good as you I would probably be more adventurous. I have a new body I want to try a different style paint job maybe you could give me a few tips, pretty please.

did you make the roll cage?
tuff bug
Thanks I made the cage from pub straws Moon under water

maybe some midnight pumpkin decals??? would look good with the blue on the black background, and flames up the side
