Buxom Melons: Class 2 VW Beetle

[johnnyh66]

Thanks Mr.J!
Yes, I'm really liking the power of the winch... it moves pretty fast though so I'm using a Rogue Elements Snatch Block to cut the speed in half (and double the pulling power! :twisted

So, after looking at more pics of roof racks, I think I'll just stick with this one.
They all go at least halfway over the rear windows.

the roof rack is mounted.

Johnny,
thanks for the link to this build. I LOVE this car.
So many great ideas, and so much money to spend that I don't have, LOL

Very nice vw build.

Thanks guys!

Melons had to donate her GripFab wheels to my Class 3rig and the Steelies are back on... this time with scale hardware.

No they go in two hands!

BTW, yes, you can bend everything past the plastic part. Just be carefull about it. There is a resistor inside the plastic sleeve and if you bend it in the right spot it'll break. If you have any problems shoot me a PM.

I had a blast at today's gtg, Melons cog feels better but still not where it was.

By far the coolest VW rig I've found on here yet. Love the red on the tubes.

I added more weight to the wheels but she's still not where she was... the cog is better, just not there yet.
So I picked up a Pro4 3300 to replace the Pro4 4000 in Hera and was going to put the 4k in my foff and the 33 in Hera... but, I think Melons will rock the Pro4 3300! :twisted:

Joy!!!

and done!
The low end seems just as good as the 14t Puller but the top end is at least x 3! :twisted:

 

[johnnyh66]

Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick!

I just got back from one of our comp spots and I was wrong...
The Pro4 3300 has much better low end control than the 14t Puller.

I love this motor!
Between my latest round of cog mods and Tekin... all I can say is
Buxom Melons is better.

Melons competed in the first stage of the Northern Indiana TTC Sunday, it was a blast!

IThe score aren't up yet but I do know that I did not place in the top 3.
I felt that I drove pretty good but I blew one course after hitting an unseen gate, the rest was downhill.

Melons' performance has been up'd with the Pro4, I really like this motor. "thumbsup"
