Ace-Garageguy Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) I was looking around for some ideas for an upcoming 1:1 client build and stumbled across these. I like 'em. Edited October 28, 2014 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Buckaroo Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I saw this one at the Last Good Guys show I was at in Spokane WA (2013) . I am not a V-dub fan but this one really caught my eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkypeanutbutter Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Called Volksrods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) Called Volksrods. Really? Honest? They have a name and everything? Wowee gee whiz. Just FYI...yeah, I know. But thanks. I'm not busting your chops. Guess I shoulda been more specific. I wasn't looking for the done-to-death Volksrods, but something a little more imaginative and challenging. You'll notice, please, the first 2 cars and the last one are front-engined. The one in post #2 has some skills in evidence on the unusual hard-top chop, too.

KingSix Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 That first one has been a dream for a long time now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarana-X Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Are those first ones real? They look like really well done digital renders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 28, 2014 Author Share Posted October 28, 2014 Are those first ones real? They look like really well done digital renders. My guess is that all the photos in the first post are digital mashups. Pretty nice work, especially the first one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) I know it's an R/C, but here's one I did this summer. The Baja Bug body is made for the truck version of this platform and had full fenders, so I had to chop the fronts off and bob the rears some.

crazyjim Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I REALLY like the second one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 what scale is this and where did you get the wheels? thanks. The car is a Traxxas "1/16" Ford Fiesta (now discontinued, but shares 95% of it's parts with the "1/16" Slash 4x4), using a Proline Baja Bug body for the 1/16 E-Revo (same chassis, different suspension parts), then the rolling stock is from HPI Racing's line of Vintage Trans Am wheels, tires, and bodies with all 4 being 1.9" tall rims then the fronts are 26mm wide and the rears are 31mm wide.

FASTBACK340 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 There was a rotary powered VW similar to the first image about 2 years ago. The first two designs appear to be reversed-images of that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Jon Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Cool concepts, that drawing looks great Bill Somewhat Jag D-type style, but I could see it being mid-engine even? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
