I wish I could read Japanese

<Newbie warning on>

Hello

While searching for something entirely different

I stumbled on this page. Can maybe someone translate?[?]

http://www.tamiya.com/japan/rc/kaizou/008c.../city_turbo.htm

Anyway, it looks quite nice [8D], a hopped up modern Willy's Wheeler

Ok, this was my first post. Hopefully no flames.

Geez this thing is way old news why did you have to drag it up again[] just kidding. That willy's wheeler is cool. If I had the resources I would make one also.

As for reading Japanese, you can try a language conversion site like altavista http://babelfish.altavista.com/translate.dyn The old saying, "something got lost in the translation" applies here.

WQelcome to the board

The text is just instructions and parts list to make your WR02 chassis into a modern Wheeler II.

Darryn might be able to translate for you... [8D]

[RETRO R/C 59]

Also need a few screws and nuts.

Havent finished mine yet - have most of it - unfortunately though a few items are discontinued - however there should be most of it still around.

I don't recogonize them from any previous vehicle nor do I find them listed by Tamiya. Tamiya UK, where are those available?

Thanks,

I think they're the chrome slicks from a "Boy Racer".

[Tamiya UK 1]

Thats right, they are the chrome wheels, and slick tyres for the Boy racer series. Also I have used the foam inserts for them aswell.

[TamiyaRacer 2]

I'm not familiar with the Boy Racer. Is there a model number?

wow, thats awesome, how / when did you manage to find that ? Strange thing is I also have an original pajero body that I had planned to put on my WW2, but this one seems to be on a TL01 ?

Does anyone have any insight into how that Pajero-builder made the fender flares?

I have a Hummer which could really use a set of flares as the original owner (not me) carved away part of the wheel arches to improve tire clearance. I need to put something there. Flares would be cool..

I still don't know what a "Boy Racer" is.

Are the wheels and tires still available?

[Guest Carsnboats]

Morning,

Try this link to the Tamiya Site: http://www.tamiya.com/english/rc/rcitem/kit/kit57601.htm

I have seen these cars and spares up on ebay occasionally. Also I know someone in the UK who might be able to get the parts for you.

Cheers

That is a standard bodyshell, the flares are already there.

Thank you,

for all the nice replies. I should have

remembered the babelfish translation option [:I].

But when you don't use it, you forget it

Seems, that the original message evolved

quite nicely.

'til next post
