ya i love those things! the only problen is that there are not flat4 aircooled motors in those. it would be better if they used the stock based engine. thats a cool site you can get parts from there it seems like.

[chug_A_bug]

ya they are really cool and that is too bad that they don't use a flat4 base but there is a cool game on there you can play :) and the parts list is cool too

[bow]

ya that game is awsome its a shame about the motors but nvere the leess they are sweet

[chug_A_bug]

haha we are like little kids playing a bug racing game :)

[bow]

lol im racing the real ones in my head vrooom vroom!!!

[chug_A_bug]

NICE NICE ME TOO I want one of those front clips but that's like 600$ Canadian :bawling: then to ship it here would just kill ya

[bow]

im in the same boat man i live in the middle of the U.S. so to ship here would be CRAZY but i think on my race car im gonna build some rear fenders like they have to cool the brakes. i theirs are for the motor but i think it woud be cool to apply the same concept to the brakes. what do you think kool idea or no?

haha ya guys we just want a funn cup car but with a T4 motor though
ya that's a Cool Idea about the brake vents, I'm going to put some on mine too when I can get around to that part for me it's getting it to run and turn then body. and I want to flar the fenders too love the job that you did on them too.

[volkdent]

The reason they aren't aircooled base is that they want reliable motors that don't leak oil all over the track and are relatively inexpensive. They run in the rain a lot, and oil and water just don't mix. I based my conversion on the idea of these, but with an all steel stock body. Looks like a bug, drives like a demon!
