My WR-01 (Carbon) Bigfoot Monster Truck (formerly Wild Dagger) Update 2017 on Page 2

Recommended Posts

I just with Tamiya would redo this chassis with a square battery hole. Carbon looks great and I want it bad but it takes away from the cheap basher ethos.

They might - all it needs is a fresh chassis plate moulding. Since it is symmetrical, they wouldn't even need to make two.

 

Other models have had such revisions - take the M-05 for example. If people keep buying WT-01s and Tamiya realise the model holds continued interest, it is not completely inconceivable that they might revise the battery hole.

I've got a good ideo from a friend today. I will buy some arms from Stampede VXL, thery are 100mm long and looks like they could fit.

If I got some and tested it out, I will let you all know it. ;)

I'm very proud about it, because it's unique in world and a prototype!

Manufacturing,  passing accuracy and stability are very good.
 

So it looks assembled:

Toe-in in rear frim TL-01 chassis with 2° for improving directional stability:

and inside self made brass gear tubes. They are 5-10g lighter than stock.

The chassis is ~30g lighter than stock!

Haha, sry, I've changed it into very good bad english. :D

The fast changer isn't recommended vor my 2S Lipo. The cables are in same positions like the opener....

Long time I havn't  write about new parts. I've changed a lot.

Last year a replaced the rims, add a gearbox in front, replaced the brushless kit by two firebolt morots. And lot of little parts.

 

Today, I make it perfect. Last parts I have plugged in. ^^

Started with this

New parts are: fast change battery opener + carbon tubes, turnbuckles as steering rods. long screws in gearbox. Some days ago I changed the shocks (to hard) by cheap one. In red and blue. Looks similar to the body. ;)

Fits perfect:

Final truck:

Looks much better, more stability. I love this chassis!!

 

I think about changing HPI tyres into Pro-Line  Destroyer 2.2'', but I don't know, if they work better?!

Hey guys. After 2 driving sessions I can't believe the improvements! The truck drives so much better than before!. Great.

No swing off in curves and on loose ground.

 

So I can say again: I LOVE the WR-01!
