I recently scrapped pursuing my poor man's scorcher based on the Hornet, in favor of something based on my favorite 2WD Tamiya chassis, the DT-02.

This baja bug project is still not complete as I need to add a rear cage and some other details, but here is where the project stands now. It features a Parma Beetle lexan shell, reversed rear arms, Blitzer Beetle front arms, 3Racing shocks and universals, Sport Tuned motor and Traxxas waterproof ESC.

By reversing the rear arms and using the Blitzer front arms, the wheelbase is as close to scale as I could get things.

The body has been beat on quite a bit as it's my runner shell. I'm working on another body for display.

That chassis fits the body well. Great work. Love the wheels.

Thanks guys! Chris, those are Traxxas Bullet wheels. They're just 2-piece plastic wheels, but they have an aluminum look to them.

The last picture, with the back all hanging out like that, it looks realistic like the engine hanging out and all. Nice looking ride!
