**RC-Fan** · 09-20-2011 11:41 AM

Love the bug body..

**The VXL** · 09-20-2011 11:59 AM

those look evil rc fan and snowslider yours looks pretty scale but i would remove the rear bumper for it to match the beetle body it just sticks out too far IMO

**snowslider** · 09-20-2011 12:25 PM

I think I'll buy the MERV wing...

**gdiddy13** · 09-20-2011 03:02 PM

hey rc fan, is that a summit front you have?

and where did you get the bumper below that? does it help with impacts?

Proline epics 2.2 if not wrong

**M5burndt** · 09-20-2011 10:30 PM

Yep, i'm surprised that not a lot of other people have them. Everybody gets the titus, but i think these look better.

**JTB488** · 09-20-2011 11:12 PM

Looked at them on there site, which ones are they? They list two different part numbers, one for the front of a slash and the other for the rear.

**turok** · 09-22-2011 10:57 AM

this is a hard plastic bug shell. it was made for the slash but would fit the revo.

**snowslider** · 09-22-2011 11:41 AM

**murdermaxx** · 09-22-2011 02:34 PM

After a little makeover.

**DareDevyl** · 09-22-2011 07:50 PM

**snowslider** · 09-24-2011 02:34 AM

^I love the red one!

**M5burndt** · 09-24-2011 09:34 PM

I havent had any issues with the 2.2 "Epic" rims so far, they've held onto my dirt hawgs fine at 65 mph (btw, if you plan on going that fast, balance your tires!!!"

my first ever paint job, so not near what I would like, but I learned at LOT! wish the green would show better, it's actually a fluorescent green and metallic black

**snowslider** · 10-03-2011 09:05 AM

C'mon, there must be more Baja's out there!

**nnap** · 10-03-2011 12:58 PM

Think i already posted this in the other gallery.

**snowslider** · 10-05-2011 10:49 AM

nnap- Thats a classic one!

**BikeMutts** · 10-05-2011 05:40 PM

1/16 Baja Slash with Merv bumpers/spoiler!!

**Powerman** · 10-05-2011 07:13 PM

I havent seen one like this yet.

**BikeMutts** · 10-05-2011 07:22 PM

That body is a lot nicer than mine. I don't have the engine compartment visible in the back.. Although they obviously came with the same sticker kit...??

**Powerman** · 10-05-2011 07:33 PM

I used a 1/18 crawler body. Carefull drilling the rear holes. Can flip itself over now.

**snowslider** · 10-06-2011 12:20 PM

Powerman: Your body:

**Powerman** · 10-07-2011 08:40 PM

Thanks, This is the Revo 3.3 Bug Body.

I like the 1/16 much better. 3.3 was the second body ever painted.

**-condor-** · 10-07-2011 09:11 PM

mine is pretty basic....

**snowslider** · 10-09-2011 01:50 AM

^ Me gusta...

(Thats all the Spanish I now about...)

**turok** · 10-21-2011 01:37 PM

love the tires

**AlHenderson** · 10-21-2011 03:38 PM

Powerman, that's a beautiful blend on your paint job, there!

What do you guys use for paint? (And, for that matter, what's required for prep'ing lexan?)

**AlHenderson** · 10-21-2011 03:40 PM

RC-fan, I LOVE those clip-keepers! How did you put those together ... or did you actually BUY them somewhere?

**shelbyzz** · 10-22-2011 12:03 AM

here is mine:

Thanks, I use sooooo many different types of paint I cant list them all. Just make sure it is for lexan or polycrylic(not sure about spelling). The biggest thing I do for prep work is I use denatured alcohol on the inside instead of soap and water. It provides a surface that the paint adhears to better than just water. It will remove any oils or residue that may be present. After painting I back everything with a light coat of black. For areas that rub I use the silver tape that they use on duct work. The shiny stuff not plain old duct taps. It sticks great and takes a long time to rub thru to the paint.
