dazzi220 Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 (edited) kool, its got to be worth it, the engine is soo good, and the qaulity, german enginering is the best out there, so this should be a wonderful piece of kit, if you got the cash ddazzi get one, i tihnk youll love them too, ← cash is'nt a prob, I like the look of em but don't have anywhere to run it really nor the time, so I think i might be wasting my cash, sooner get a new savage.....or a revo I got my eye on Edited April 27, 2005 by dazzi220 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badobsession Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 hi all have just surfed on to this forum was looking for some fg s etc on the web . have got in to fgs offroading last year and now have 2 its a bit addictive they are so much more reliable than nitro 3 pulls and your off . love the beetle shell looks to good to bash,i had a show shell and a bashing shell for the marder. i started with a marder and then got a set of monster tiers for it this took it to new hightes then i got a pajero this we soon destroyed as it was hoped up with a 26cc and with the marder racing it we just pushed it to far. then i got a monster beetle conversion and changed the marder . got a new 29cc engine and a new shell for the jeep. now back from the dead just running the 29cc in but what power it can lift the front up looking to get a monster truck or the new beetle pro . we have got some wild vid and lots of pics if i can find how to up load i will the only thing i find with the 1/5th scale is the amount of room you need to thrash them we have tried lots of parks ,bmx tracks, all have advantages and disadvantages but we like the beach the best down on the hard sand they go like rockets . only last weekend the beetle out ran a 250cc trail bike the boy was gutted . any one in the ayrshire area ?????? thanks will be back ................. javascript:emoticon('') cant find how to up load any one know how????????????????????????????????????????javascript:emoticon('') Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monstrous Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 just ordered this shell for my monster beetle (dont worry its not gonna be that awful colour), i like the little bolt on sideguards, i think they will look good with the bigfoot tires ordered it from hobbythek, pretty good, it was £55, a new clear marder shell on modelsport is £62 Monstrous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
