kontemax 1780 Posted January 3, 2012 Sorry, I'm not english mother tongue. I don't know the meaning of this word. I hope it's not a dirty word... Max I hope you mean Wheelies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZippoMan 0 Posted January 5, 2012 Wheelies is not a dirty word. It means wheel stand...which the Wild Willy 1 and 2 could do very easily!! Wild Willy 2 flips over backwards way too easy. I wish it had a better wheelie bar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BUGBOX 3 Posted January 20, 2012 How about the fare in Nuernberg will it be there just like the Scorcher was? It won´t be in Nuernberg as Tamiya doesn´t need it. They want to promote the new models. They do not produce a Wild Willy at the moment! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BUGBOX 3 Posted January 27, 2012 The HEAD "HELMET" is almost done! We are working on the spare wheel at the moment! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WW-nut 0 Posted January 27, 2012 The HEAD "HELMET" is almost done! We are working on the spare wheel at the moment! So will you be cutting some eyes into the helmet so someone can wear it whilst driving the Wild Willy or is it to attach to a mannequin? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SRB Bloke 237 Posted January 28, 2012 SUCH A COOL PROJECT... WHEN I WIN THAT EUROMILLIONS I'LL HAVE A SAND SCORCHER AND SUPER CHAMP please 1:1 of course Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BUGBOX 3 Posted January 31, 2012 So will you be cutting some eyes into the helmet so someone can wear it whilst driving the Wild Willy or is it to attach to a mannequin? It will have eyes cut in so that everybody can be a driver! It is based on a real helmet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gozone 30 Posted February 9, 2012 Wow... This is simply.... AWESOME!!!!!!!. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
berman 5317 Posted February 9, 2012 This is just amazing! I am assuming you will get the scorcher back one day and have them side by side? Few questions... Are you going to powdercoat the wheels white? Is it going to have a wheelie bar (either fake or real)? If the wheelie bar is real, are you sure it wont need the NO2 bottle connected for wheelie good fun? I love how you have added all the smaller details like the screw heads and rear multi-links etc! If the BugBox scorcher is anything to go by, this is going to be an absolute stunner! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WW-nut 0 Posted February 9, 2012 That's looking great - what about adding a photo with a person standing next to it so we can see the scale. Keep it up fellas, once finished that's going to be an amazing looking jeep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
