Doug`s Bug ( monster beetle pro )

[Gamefan]

Nice!

Can you put up a complete parts list of me so I know what upgrades to get?

 

[DougStar]

Hey @Gamefan
Depends on who you order from and what you want to do. If you order from DDM there are very few part description so you have to be careful about what you get. Theres none of (this is on road or f1 or evo).If you order from rc car online you can mail them ffom the parts page you on and ask if it fits. What do you want to do to your beetle ?

 

[Gamefan]

Hey Dougstar!

I am leaning towards swapping it all out with alloy parts and convert to on road slick tires.

 

[DougStar]

These are the diffs i bought from ddm coz they did not have stock of just the housings
And the steel gear

And gear plate

And the break 97 when you order this part says you need a 97 break square
don't buy an extra your car has one already

That should sort you out

 

[Gamefan]

Thanks Doug!

 

[DougStar]

Which parts did you add when you got your beetle besides the fg pipe?

 

[Gamefan]

I have the alloy engine mounts. Nothing else as I wanted to see how it is stock. Now I am tempted to tear it apart and rebuild all in alloy parts.

Who makes great slick tires for 5th scale?

 

[DougStar]

Alloy diff housing are stupid money

This is €302 so i don't think is worth it. So Thats why i have not gone there
After small and large engine mounts diffs and the alloy gear plate and carrier and now the srvo saver the only other ones ill go for is a clear body and alloy hubs back and front. I have not read anywere of the diff housings going south most losi rig on this forums still run plastic diff housings . So i don't think you need to worrie.

rc car online offer HT version of the monster beetle pro here are the parts they would add

 

[Gamefan]

Sweet!

Thanks Doug!
