Can anyone help me identify these parts please. I feel like the 4 black discs are parts of Wild Willy B Parts but I don't know what they actually are.

Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Those are not used on the M38.  I tossed a bunch of those in the trash.  :lol:

I'll second that! I had a bit of perspex in my big box of bits for years didn't have a clue what it was but it was very neatly cut so I knew it had to be for something until a friend was doing up an original wild willy m38 and he nearly fainted when he seen it in my box of bit as I was looking for something else it was the front window for a willy m38 that he had been searching for years! So I give it to him!

Top one goes on the wheelie bar ends, the bottom is a windscreen for Willy's helmet.

I think the reason I had doubts over whether it was the Wheelie bar ends was that they don't look like they do in the manual in terms of the position on the parts tree. See images attached.

I was going to suggest goggles or similar!

Huh, for the sake of accuracy, can you check to make sure there is a  through hole?  If not you are right they look  very similar but I could be wrong.

I've taken some better pictures from both sides

Today im working on the rear of my TT02B, currently printing a shorter shock tower that hopefully will led me use my custom rear arms without need for the shock extenders i made earlier, this should make it lower profile in the back to make fitting a different body on it easier.

Ive added in holes to mount the rear wing as usual but also a bunch of extras since im not sure how the other body will mount yet.

I think you have posted this on the wrong thread. But still it is interesting to see this 👍🏼

If that’s B3 off the hubcap sprue, I believe it’s a blind plug that goes into a underneath hole in the Hilux/Blazer radio box. 

Only used on BBlazer. 

Radiobox has 3 lever outputs for the 3 servos (steer, speed, shift). The Hilux has its unique electromechanical speed controller located under driver’s butt outside radiobox linked to Ch2 servo. 

Less fancy spec Blazer uses a traditional MSC switchboard located inside the radiobox (with long wires to resisors mounted externally) so it doesn’t need the 3rd lever output anymore. (Until you decide to hopup Blazer with the Option Part electromechanical unit... which I suspect didn’t come cheap BiTD).

Thanks I think you are right and it would make total sense as it was inside my Wild Willy kit box. The parts have been sat in the box since the Wild Willy was built in the mid 80s
