oh and some adhesive clear vinyl A4 size to do my own images for my new shell! :)
 
aye i remember the krikke stuff, when i 1st got my MB Pro abut 7 years, they used to do the whole alloy set for summit like £500, i sooo wanted it all back then lol, think they did em in choices of red or blue.

the cash thing.. i wish! ..just had a nice lil rebate, so treated myself (or my beetle, which sounds better!? lol) :D
 
all i need now though is a rear wing, ones ive got already is white for my herby shell, i wanted a clear one that my beetle originally came with when new years ago, but theyve discontinued the clear wing now! :( ..so gunna have to get the black one as my shell (although not 100% sure yet) is gunna be black & orange or black & green..not too sure :s
 
black and orange mate works every time as for the rear wing i wouldnt bother with the poly fg ones they crack in hardly no time after a few rolls id recommend triple a racing's wings they are as close to unbreakable as you can get my bugs landed on its wing so many times but its still strong and straight plus it really suits the mb pro shell which is also the shell i run

freeprawn sell all the triple a racing goodies if you want one,,should be the last wing you ever need

just had nother look, yours aint classic dude as yours bends in at the front like the original Fg one, the classic one points out, cant seem to see the one you got & thats the one i like most due to its shape, typical! lol
 
never even noticed that mate im lost now i brought it from mike1970 at the lsor event in feb at essex so maybe worth asking him mate he maybe able to help you find one but i do like the high downforce twin style ones there different
 
Daz, the pics of Ren's bug don't do it justice. Having seen it in the flesh its absolutely awesome mate and a real credit to him. Its like the perfect bug that everyone aspires to own :cool2:
 
cheers dwarfy its taken a lot of work and time god knows how much money stoped counting that years ago but its a great tool and fast as you need and then some with 99% reliability which is as good as it gets,,got new gears to try next time out its running 20/44 now so should keep the front end down a little bit its not like i aint got the power to pull a taller gear
 
oki doke ta mate, aye i was looking at the double one, looks nice, gunna have a think on it, cheers for info dude ;)

talking of gears, been toying with the idea of getting some elcon heli gears as theyre meant to be much smoother & quieter but thats gunna have to wait for now!
 
couldnt resist, ive always said i gunna keep my front end stock due to the flex but.. well..

http://rc-car-online.de/shop/en/pro...ium-alloy-front-suspension-kit-2wd-1pce-.html

couldnt resist it as the price was good (about £170 for the lot) even used id be hard pressed to find it at this price. I already have an alloy front shock mount so will prob throw that on ebay for around £20 or summit as its in good nick so all in all, the whole front end new would have cost me about £150 :)

here monday :)

now my beetle is pretty much 100% alloy except for body mounts & bumpers which im defo keeping plastic for obvious reasons!
