Shodog 1835 Posted March 5, 2003 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.

WillyChang 1814 Posted March 5, 2003 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] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WillyChang 1814 Posted March 7, 2003 I think they're the chrome slicks from a "Boy Racer". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamiya UK 1 Posted March 7, 2003 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TamiyaRacer 2 Posted March 7, 2003 I'm not familiar with the Boy Racer. Is there a model number? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Truck Stop 0 Posted March 7, 2003 How about this one [?] http://www.hidachin.com/willyclub/willysphotos02.html Colin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamiya UK 1 Posted March 7, 2003 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 ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Truck Stop 0 Posted March 7, 2003 Tamiya UK I was looking at a different site tonight and found it. As i am into trucks i must say i do like the look of these[]. Colin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bholio 0 Posted March 7, 2003 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.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Carsnboats Posted March 8, 2003 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 Clive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FunwithFox 4 Posted March 10, 2003 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 FunwithFox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
