Man the beetle is cool - Nice ride Cyclops.

Hey marder69,
Does the bottle dealy make a difference in your opinion?

 

[cyclops1970]

Well my beetle have been mutanted
i made my own chassi .250 7075 t6 alloy and strenched it to the lenght of a leopard , using the leopard front axle mounts because the chassis is flat , a Monster Truck front arms and Chop Suey has made me a Custom front shock tower so now it's 95% alloy just need the rear lower arms im thinking of something right now so we'll see
Thanks . i'll get good pics soon .. outside instead of inside on my dirty bench .. hehe ..

I got a 26cc heli engine with a adjustable timming cover in her and the throttle is responsive anyway because of the way they are tuned, the bottle wont add any power ! but it just helps with smoother running! when you back off the throttle it sucks the excess fuel back in! Then when you power back on it pushes a double rich fuel mixture through!
