[modifying the lexan rc body shapes without melting it completly?]

I too am interested in lexan mods. I'd like to be able to flare the fenders on my BoLink/RJ Speed 67 camaro body if the need arises

[Super Clodbuster status?]

Very short term. Most got bought by eBay sellers

[Super Clodbuster status?]

If they never made another, there would still never be an end to then on eBay. But I'm glad they are still made new. I'd hate to Sr Clods go the way of that stupid rc10 re re debacle

[Full interior and some scale accessories in my Clod]

Not to criticise such a nice build, but a proper bench seat would sure look a lot better that the racing seats.

Nice video

My first ww2 used a wrestler action figure for a driver. Angry, screaming, and flowing molded hair. I found scale-ish beer cans at the craft store and siliconed them everywhere. Driver had one in his hand too.

[Full interior and some scale accessories in my Clod]

Good stuff. Way more effort than I'd put into it. Bravo.

But is the spring necessary? The shock should be able to slow movement enough on its own

[Lowering a Wild Willy]

I've got Pro Line Speed Hawgs on HPI monster ss rims. That part is settled. My eBay G Made 62mm shocks showed up yesterday.

I'll be back at this build soon

[What no Axial Wraith Builds ? - better sort that out then !]

There's a guy on RCMT that built a monster from a wraith with the CPE Barbarian chassis. He raced a lot with axles that only had aluminum lockouts and c hubs with no problems.

I wouldn't get too crazy with mods to those axles. Fix what breaks.

[Lowering a Wild Willy]

Change the chassis on a Willy or a Lunchbox and nothing is left but the body. Like my Clod, there's nothing left of the original truck but the axles.

I'm not busting on anyone else's build. I know I'm a goof.

I'm also stopping my Lunchbox super build cause the crp front end mod suddenly bothers me.

My Willy is getting different wheels, tires, shocks... and a lowered stance. It's not going off-road. The hard body has almost everything to do with that.

[Lowering a Wild Willy]

Yeah, Jenny. I read your thread. I like what you did. I've actually wanted to build a bit of a scaler out of a Willy too, but just can't seen to get past the loss of the Willy's character that's required to do that.

[Lowering a Wild Willy]

Thanks for the replies. I'm sure I'll be doing the body down too. But not at the expense of butchering it.

[Another Wild Willy M38]

The best place to look for off-road tires is RC4WD

[6x6 1/10 Off Road Truck build]

Groovy. Thanks

[Lowering a Wild Willy]

I set it on a barstool and with no shocks, the front is fine, but in the rear, the lowest part of the diff housing touches the ground.

So I'm thinking to raise the rear maybe 1/4" of the floor and raise the front to make it level.

I was at the local road course yesterday where they run Jatos on pavement. They are slammed, but as I mentioned in my original post, the control arms are at ridiculous angles. And the geometry issues rear their ugly heads as the things stutter their way through the corners at speed

[6x6 1/10 Off Road Truck build]

Ok, I have no idea what mod is in relation to what we call it here in the states. We just use pitch (32, 48, 64). So pitch is teeth per inch. How does mod relate to pitch, as we call it?

[6x6 1/10 Off Road Truck build]

Too much power? Perish the thought.

I've seen some of your work, and it's quite impressive. One thing I can't figure out is how do you figure out how to align gears in a transmission? Is there a formula for using pitch and # of teeth to determine where to drill for the axle? Or is it much more complicated?

[Lowering a Wild Willy]

Being better off isn't on my to do list. I just look at a wild willy a lot like a lunchbox. You can't change too much before you ruin its character. I enjoy the engineering challenge of modifying the thing to a certain vague point only I can see.

I've also often thought of using a wild willy gearbox and a lunchbox axle to make a 4x4 Willy. The gf01 selfishly ruined that idea.

[Kyosho Scorpion (re-re)]

I love looking at the detailed pics of vintage rc cars. When innovation was normal, before standardization came along and made everything boring

[Who makes there own Stickers/Decals?]

Another idea if you're only doing simple items is to just use the label as a paint mask.

[fitting a brushless set up into a hilux 4 x 4]

I believe reading back when brushless started gaining traction that the number of turns on a brushless was very roughly equivalent to twice that many turns on a brushed motor. Say an 8.5t brushless would be about 16t brushed

[Lowering a Wild Willy]

So I'm thinking of building my wild willy as a street only rig. I've got the HPI monster ss 5 spokes and Pro Line Speed Hogs from my first wild willy sitting on the new one right now. I want to slam it down to a minimal ride height. Just moving the shocks around puts the control arms at a silly angle, of course. So I'm thinking of making new arms or new hubs to hold the axles up higher. In the kit is what I suspect to be the fwd hubs.I wonder if I can fiddle with those to make them into rear hubs. I know pics will help. But I'm not home right now.

Has anyone else turned a wild willy into a lowrider?
