They are pretty cool. GM filed suit over their name so now they are called
Wombat instead of Hummbug. Here is the site

 Another kit that is like the Wombat is the Hum-lite. I think they have a
site around but I can't find it right now. There are pix of them at
http://www.kitcar.com/articles-kitcar/knotts00/home.html
I saw one of these at a show and was very impressed. You could really do a
lot of interesting things with suspension while building one of these things
including Syncro running gear. Plenty of room to build whatever you want
underneath.
