updating lunchbox chassis?

That is an impressive chassis! However for an easier approach, how about a WR02 shortened with custom side plates?

Do you mean WR-01 (Wild Dagger chassis)? Since the WR-02 is the Wild Willy 2 chassis, which has a shorter wheelbase than the CW-01 (Lunchbox chassis).

@Madinventor: Impressive car, by the way.

But...

...the GF-01 is likely to have a slightly shorter wheelbase than the Lunchbox (CW-01) chassis, probably nearer to the Wild Willy 2 (WR-02). The CW-01's wheelbase is 207mm, the WR-02 is 170mm. No figures yet for the GF-01 but the blurb says wheelbase and width are almost identical and the GF seems to use the WR-02 suspension set up which gives 189 - 195mm width. So 180-190mm-ish wheelbase for the GF-01?

(All figures from the Tamiya Inc website).

If it's 190mm, I may have finally found a suitable chassis for the spare Bandit bodies I have gathering dust in my closet.

I do indeed. My apologies.

A decade ago TCer Tamiyamc customized a Lunchbox body to fit the WW2 chassis. Here's a link to a detailed TC showroom entry:

What I'd like to try is use a Wild Willy and a Lunchbox to make a 4x4. A custom chassis to use the Wild willy trans as the front end and the Lunchbox as the rear end. A lot of fabrication, and possible hearing badword. And then the decision off which body to use.

How about using TA02 gearboxes with custom chassis.
