Wow , a nice piece of work. I always wanted to see a modified and streched Blackfoot because Blackfoot was and is one of my favs . Since I saw it in the 1980ties

It is years ago and i was a child but I really remember that the Monster Beetle Body of my neighbours son was black [8)] By the way, I have a Monster Beetle Body that is black and unpainted (because it is still packed). It sais "Monster Beetle" inside.

Black für Blitzer Beetle - I've even seen Monster Beetles with black bodys, my neighbour had one with came with a black body. Chrome for Blitzer Beetle and Wild Willy Metallic Green vor Wild Willy I & II Blue for Ford Ranger f150 XLT

Wow [xx(] Very nice paintwork and detailing. [^]

I like it. Mine is stock , would like to get other dampers. Have never driven because it is still like new (except some scratches on the bottom). Still not sure what to do with it. Would like to sell it or trade some day for something else (need parts for other cars). But that has to be decided some day.

That is just what I was dreaming of. A Willy gathering *Jeepie* I'll try to come to Haltern. Which pinion do you suggest for that place , the big one or the small one ? Cars I'll bring along: #1 Wild Willy 2 #2 Wild Willy 1 (maybe) #3 Pajero XC MTW (maybe) #4 Midnight Pumpkin (maybe)

Pumpkin is fun too - maybe you should have compared the old Pajero with MP [] fun fun fun till his (her) daddy take's the Pumpkin (T-Bird) away [] Problem with MP are the breaking bodymounts []

Aren't XCs and 3speeders Crawlers too in some way?

Maybe he just won in the lottery [] Then consider the exchange rate us/eur and watch other auctions that he won in the past. He seems to be a bug enthusiast. I didn't even know there where any after market parts for that car [:I]

Am I right if I assume that an Asso buggy is way faster than a Dyna Storm ? (Same batteries, same Motor) It's just my impression from what I have seen on meetings where people just drive for fun and not for competition.

Ok. Think I will keep it for some time as it is my first and only 2wd Buggy (still dreaming of the "Wild One" or "Dyna Storm").

Thanks for the advice. Now that some days have passed by I don't regret nothing. I enjoy just seeing this old car on the shelf next to my other Tamiyas. I*ve decided to replace only what is broken and HAS to be fixed to make a runner out of it .............. camouflage paint hides a lot of the scratches and dents if you look at it from a distance [] Maybe some day I will strip and re-paint it. That's all. As I told Martin, I'll keep my eyes open until I find another WW in a better condition. Oh my God, now I've reached a point I never wanted to reach - I wish to have one runner and one shelf queen , next step will be mint condition and then NIB Fortunately it's only with Wild Willy and not with all other cars. Now I am a Willy addict too. [] PS: What would you do about the grille? Repair and drive it or use a new WW2 grille. I do not like the look of it , that's the problem. But on the otherhand I think it is not possible to repair the ww1 grille and make it last - maybe same problem as with monster beetle nose - once the mounts for the lights are broken they will alway break again. [] PPS: Rule 2.1 - There is no unique opportunity to buy on ebay [8D] (I know)

I think that is the weak point . Diff wears out quite fast if you use a hotter motor. My diff lasted quite long with Dynatech 01R Motor but one day I decided to glue the tires to the rims and then my diff broke. Btw I think the Hi-Lux Body looks nicer than the King Cab one because it is not so small. That was the reason for me to buy the Toyota and not the Nissan (besides that I always liked Hiluxes) []

Just got a Mad Cap some weeks ago. Wanted a 2wd buggy to have fun with the others (... who drive Tamiya Dyna Storm). First looked after a Astute but then I saw this Mad Cap in ebay. The price was nice, I placed my bid and won. Maybe I will sell it again and use some transmission parts for my Toyota Hilux Monster Racer (if they fit). I did not drive it by now and if I take a look at the suspension , I don't even wanna try to drive this car before I has better shocks [V] It seems that this car was hardly used by its former owner. No dirt, only some little scratches and virtually new nylon bearings. Anybody an idea what this car is worth (sell or swap). The tires are new but damaged (torn). Is this car collectible? I think it itsn't because it has the wrong colour and because it is used, right ?
