Make a wide willy instead?. You can get a chassis reasonably cheap. A sub £20 shell will crack on first impact, then you are back at the start minus £20 Will the arms and legs not also fit the comical range?.

I just got 3 weeks off work and have quite a few planned projects. Tomy Trackmaster Percy power upgrade. - almost complete. Matchstick VW camper with ftx mini crawler Running gear- underway. Lunchbox junior RC conversion chassis kit. - not started. See you in 3 weeks. Lol

Easy. Get lunchbox and a clod. Lunchbox is available in 3 sizes. Clod only available in XXXL Tamiya lunchbox. Some say the Clodbuster is so big it has its own moon and a gravitational pull. Legend says that the Clodbuster is the only thing that Chuck Norris is afraid of, and that one tyre weighs the same as 2 baby elephants.

Thanks for the reply, ignore me, I don't know what I was doing wrong, but I am in now. I'll get some content loaded over the weekend.

I associate this with the smell of walking into a proper bicycle shop when I was a kid. Every time I smell Tamiya tyres, it takes me back to being a kid walking into that Raleigh shop with the overwhelming smell of tyre rubber.

I used to have the DT02 and I scored a deal that someone on here posted. Turnigy 4000mah 2s 7.4volts, got 4 for a tenner. Couldn't believe it when I tried to buy more and it was £60+ for the same item. But something around that capacity should fit fine, take some measurements first to make sure. I don't have this chassis anymore but I believe you can increase the height of the battery compartment by adding spacers under the lid.

Yes please. There's a world of good stuff on the main site.

More voltage gives a bigger rev-range. And will teach better throttle control. Gotta get a 3s lipo. Fit some spacers under battery lid with longer screws and try a bigger battery. Maybe brushless first, then lipo.

And 3s lipo. Lol. Got juice. I'm going to swap out the motor for a hi-revving Tamiya mini 4wd motor, smaller battery and smaller ESC stuffed in a trailer.

My 8 year old boy "Can you make Percy faster?, Daddy" Me. "Of course I can, I might even make him radio control." You watching this Tomy, Fisher Price, or whoever you are now. DO IT. But remember, I did it first, I think?

A programmable ESC will definitely help, as mentioned above. Set a 10% drag brake, then full brakes at 25%. This should help you stop in a straight line.

So I made a few changes. New standard tyres( thanks for the suggestions above) Haven't changed tyres yet, just the wheels. 1/8th scale shocks to handle the extra weight. Spring collars fit inside suspension mounts nicely. Took the bottom adjusters off and pushed the shaft through. Also moved them inboard a bit at the bottom. Now I can land a wheelie without the tyres rubbing and flipping it over.
