s2-g2 432 Posted September 7, 2015 I've finally setup a shop and added a couple of my custom Wild Willy M38 Hop-ups to Shapeways for anyone interested. I received several inquiries to make them available after my Resto-mod build, so here they are. https://www.shapeways.com/shops/s2g2 I have several more hop-up parts I am refining, but for the first batch, here are the 2-piece 1.9" wheels I designed, and a custom (grilled) front end to replace the stock unit on the M38. The cons: The wheels are pricey for a whole set. The pros: Once you have a set, you have multiple options for modern 1.9" rubber on your M38. You can even run stock M38 sand paddles on them. I've tested them extensively for GMade MT1902 tires. I also have some beefed-up suspension parts I am testing now too, so look for more in the future. Anyway, I hope these parts give people some options for tires, and help keep more classic Wild Willy M38s in use! New front-end with a new look for the M38. I completely destroyed an old brittle stock unit, and this one has been holding up nicely on my runner ever since. Front and Rear Willy M38 wheels designed for 1.9" rubber. Wheels are two-part - each with a front and rear face. The front traps the bearing inside the wheel just like the original unit. For more details on the wheels, please see my build thread here: http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=77335 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
s2-g2 432 Posted September 29, 2015 Final version of my heavy-duty hop-up steering uprights for the Wild Willy M38 are on Shapeways. I've tested these and they do the job just fine... Available in white or black... I hope these can help keep a couple more M38s doing wheelies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
s2-g2 432 Posted September 29, 2015 Lovely work. I'd love to get into doing this type of thing but have neither the tools nor the time available. I do have a large list of parts I would design though... Dorvack. Thanks for the feedback - I do appreciate it! Curious what parts are on your list? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
s2-g2 432 Posted October 1, 2015 Added the "Basher Bumper" from my M38 Resto-Mod to my Shapeways store since I've been asked about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
s2-g2 432 Posted February 12, 2016 Added the underguard hop-up for the 58035 Wild Willy Bulkhead to my Shapeways store. I've printed this out in metallic polished plastic and it seems to do the job on the rigs I don't have the original metal underguard for. Here it is since I've had a couple of inquiries... I just noticed Dorvack "neverminded" his posts in all forums before he left. Too bad... there was some good info/discussion there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
