Unfortunately the PROairRC kits are no longer made. I picked up this vintage Tamiya FF01 VW golf on ebay a few months ago, dont know why, lol. I have a soft spot for old tamiya touring cars. So after removing the shocks and staring at it a week I decided to go all out and make the air ride kit work with it. Using tons of parts from the recently killed mod rod project we make it happen.

Back in the days I used to have a full size golf blue with gold wheels. Brings back good old memories. Love it. Take care bro. Much love from 🇨🇦

Made my rc impala bounce with 30kg 360' servos on shocks running on a garage door relay on 12v 2amp supply press the buttons and it had some kick nothing major but enough to make it a low rider :) so I absolutely respect this build =D

I love the looks of it. And I am excited to see some rose videos of it but I would most definitely get a new golf GTI body and paint it up like a touring car with a Hott brushless motor in it and some rubber tires! And let it rip!👍🏼

Idea for you ... Kitchen aid vac pump shocks compress on pull an if springs in place should rest itself on air intake . You could get what's called disfuzer's an air them next to spring shocks on an rc vehicle .🤔

This is cool. I've seen a few vids with them mounted in scale crawlers. Have you seen or considered one of the SupaScale set ups? I ordered one, just have to decide which truck I want to put it in. The scale realism you can dial in for truck body roll is crazy. I've seen em in drift cars also.

As of right now I dont do builds for others. Im in between houses right now, lol. The 1/10 rod shop does custom work and entire builds, as well as wesmade. Wes does amazing scratch built bodies, 1/10 would be the guy to 3d design and make the chassis stuff. He is well acquainted with the mini truck scene from back in the day.
