DT-02 Beetle
I know there aren't many fans of the Kyosho Beetle body, but I picked up a Team Bluegroove repro off ebay, a set of cheap Gmade plastic wheels and made some mods to a DT02 chassis to come up with this still-in-progress creation. The project is in mid-build form (as evidenced by the sloppy nature of the rear), but features a RC10 SC10 tranny with gear diff and V2 slipper unit in the back. It really is a mashup of a bunch of different things, including standard DT02 tub, DT02 front suspension and HPI Blitz shocks front and rear.

I love builds like this. Parts from half a dozen cars and yet it comes out looking factory-fresh. Awesome work. And I like the Kyosho shell, it always looks more purposeful than the Scorcher.

I'm always happy to see your wild mash-ups, and this one looks great! The stance/proportions plus large windows beckon for Willy at the helm! Awesome job!

Thank you all for the kind words! Life has been hectic this summer, so I keep saying I'm going to take some action shots of my builds, and I never seem to get around to it. With that said, I'm hoping to take a few before the weather turns to yuck. Oh, and mrmtodd -- Willy is indeed destined for this bug!
