Clod Willy?

[Bigdaddyroth]

Hello folks, I've recently got back into rc cars with the purchase of a re,re Grasshopper. And I've been bitten bad by the bug again. So I dug out my old Mardave Meteor and retored that. And i also dug my old Clodbuster out of my parents loft where it was put after a friend drove it under a car and smashed the chassis I've had this thought that I would like to put a Wild Willy 2 shell on the Clod . Is this possible?????? I don't mind modifying the chassis as like I said its been busted anyway. I hope someone can help

You'd need at least two WW shells to cover a Clod chassis!!

Heck yeah, you'd have to really stretch your Willy.

It's an ambitious project but if you pulled it off it'd certainly be unique!

Those tyres are just about the same dia as Clods. They do jam on the rear body mounts and touch front to back when it steers...

In theory you can fit any body to any chassis ... but in practice some work a lot easier than others, and some give a much better looking result than others. IMO the WW body is just too short to look good on a clod chassis ... but if you want something different, a Kamtec Bowler Wildcat body will fit, and look pretty good - I know because I have a "spare" shell waiting for a chassis - I tried it on the clod & was very tempted

Thanks for the replies folks As far as stretching a willy onto my clod Well I was thinking more along the lines of shrinking my Clod to fit a Willy. The chassis on my Clod is a bit worse for wear but fixable. So I thought with a chop here and chop there I could get a willy shell to fit. Can someone tell me what the dimensions are for a Willy 2 shell please. And if I think I can make it work I may have a re,re Grasshopper for trade for a complete Willy 2 shell if anyones interested
