Monster Beetle

8,419 RedBeard66  8.6 years ago

This is a dune buggy in its truest form the body is from a VW that would have been modified for sand use with the clipped nose and no fenders used by hotrodders throughout the 60's and 70's. The suspention mimicks that of real long travel suspensions in its geometry and basic set up. this was a lot of fun to make and I love watching the suspension work while cuizing the Dunes of Maywar Island. Thanks to Walrus for His radial heads on the flat 6 engine and Spiritus rapter for his antenna. I hope you enjoy!

    I play simple planes on an LG Stylo 5 and there is a little bit of lag but I would say that this is Mollie friendly
