Re: hasegewa kubelwagon baja
thanks guys.
The engine came from a revell tuner kit.They actually run them in class 10 in desert racing. I have pics of a real race buggy if you would like to see them. I have not scratch built the exhaust or intake setup yet,basically the block is just put together. I will take good engine pics when I get to that part.LOL! I have to build the suspension and finish all the cage work first. Doug R

Re: hasegewa kubelwagon baja
I finally did a little more on my project.
I built the rear trailing arms,battery and equipment shelf,and did some more cage work on the rear. I mocked it up so you could see how it will sit and look. The chassis will be medium charcoal grey. Doug R http://s42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...al&media=image

Re: hasegewa kubelwagon baja
I just experimented with a quickie shock for a Pinto modified racer this weekend. What did you use for the spring, and how did you get it so even?

Re: hasegewa kubelwagon baja
Did that car really raced? If not, it's a good way to build a different model...
