i like that mate the wheels look so much different than mine in white nice id love another but just cant imagine having more than the beetle its hard enough keeping one running well
 
ive just got hold of a tamiya 1/10 nitro scoobie and im getting 2 lunchboxs in a few weeks one for me to be converted to run lipo's and a brushless and another for my 6 year old daughter who has driven my bug and loves it plus im getting a blade 450 3d at some point to try helis,,its a good fun but costly like a crack habit
 
The white is a nice touch, is it the Rovan plastics..



Can't be that gullible, they didn't send you funds to bale you out when a business deal went bad..:rolleyes:

I have found that KM BLACK plastics are pretty awful, brittle & break easy.

However their nylon parts are a blend of nylon 6/6 and super flexible.

Although not accurate i bent and twisted by hand 2 parts (roll cage and wishbones) from my HPI baja and from my White clone...

The White KM plastics are MUCH MUCH more supple...

Here is a video of it jumping!
