Thinking of buying...

[Badboy]

Hi All!!

I´m thinking of buying a new car!

Thinking Wild Willy 2 (58242).

Is there any hopups for it?

Shocks hops?

Is it the same wheels as Lunchbox?

I found at Towers a rollbar with lights!!! (LXJDT6)

Does anybody knows if it will fit?

Also Lightbulps with alu fittings (LXDKR7) will it fit?

Cheers

Using the search gives 2 topics about WW hopups:

Wheels are the same size but WW2 uses hexes in the rear while LB the old style adapters.

The shocks would be the first to go. Replace those with a set of CVA

oils shocks (no need to go as far as TA03 low friction). Bulid these

using the V6 parts on the ends of the piston shafts, and the extra

o-rings on the shafts (both inside and outside of the suspension body).

These will take that extra force from jumps etc. And not forgeting

bearings. The stock motor is more than fine. Anything more than a sport

tuned motor is advised against. Another great addition would be a speed

controller that will allow you to hit reverse without a huge delay or

double flicking of the trigger/stick.

Thats about all that is needed. Or perhaps a few batteries (as they are

a great fun car and hard to stop playing with) or maybe another kit (as

you will want someone else to share all the fun with).

No idea if the roll bar will fit, but those lights would get smashed within the first few outings.

(hmm never did try an aftermarket polycarbonate body, but if possible,

would be better. Not sure what would fit the shorter wheelbase)

Bearings is the first I will switch...

I would definetly buy a ww2 as they are a blast to drive.  The RAM lights won't fit very easily as the stock lights are molded into the roll bar and as rajicon said, they will most likely bust off in no time.  The short wheel base and sharp turns will allow you to roll very easily.  If you do want lights, Cul-tech made these sweet headlight buckets that use a juggernaut light lense
