This "customised" beetle is an interesting case.
Basically it's a Mardave Marauder which has had the chassis shortened to fit what looks like a Kamtec Scorcher body with Tamiya (Blitzer Beetle??) nosecone and the engine moved to above the gearbox.
It sold for £107!
There is no drive from the engine to the drive gears and it looks like no easy way to implement one. Also, how would you get a starter on it?
I've seen very tidy unmolested Marauders go for significantly less than this. In fact I myself bought 2 for £150 with a large pile of NOS spares. I think the Beetle/Sand Scorcher connection has something to do with it.


Looking at it I cannot see how that would ever work! - And they say it will function with a little 'know how'... I wouldn't know how. :unsure:

I never get why people would bid that much if pictures of the bottom are missing. :huh:
To me that's an obvious giveaway it's not looking too good...
TGB shell? Not very well cut in any case. And replaced screws indeed.
Still wouldn't mind having it of course. Issa nice motor too.

:silly:

Just keep on saving you know where you might find one :whistle:

Yep - holy grail for me it is, the Evo (young Skywalker).

If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem mate :)
