GF01 and WR02

Recommended Posts

Are the bodies between these two chassis types interchangeable?  I want to put a WR02 body on a GF01.

Most, but not all of them some may need some modifications.

Here is an example of the comical Hornet and Grasshoper bodies.

On the other hand most of the 'classis' wr02 bodies should work.

Thank you for the quick response. I'm looking at putting a Suzuki Jimny body on a GF01. Looks like the lowest price one available for a full body set at the moment (at least on eBay).

Works, just needs some thinkering with the mounting holes positioning.

The wheelbase on this one, is it slightly off? I can handle it if it's a little off.

wheelbase is 170mm for the Jimny and 175mm for the GF01 chassis.

Tamiya did a 50th anniversary Jimny special on the GF01 chassis

That is cool. I never saw one before. Thanks for posting the wheelbases, I'm ordering the Jimny!

Interesting timing - I've been contemplating putting a new body, wheels and tires on my WR02G Tumbling Bull tractor, and just the other day I concluded that by the time I buy 4 new wheels & tires, and a new Jimny or Landcruiser body I'd be out almost as much as a brand new WR02 kit.

The cheapest Jimny body on eBay is about AUD$60, and a set of wheels & tires is another AUD$60, so all up about AUD$120.

OR I could buy a brand new WR02CB Grasshopper for ~ AUD$180.

OR I could just enjoy what I already have... and save some $$$ and space!

So, I always struggled with this car on uneven ground at speed (2S LiPo + a 12 turn brushed motor) as it got out of shape pretty quickly, and Willy is looking worse for wear! Yesterday I took it to a cricket pitch, and the central part of the ground was perfect - that tractor can pull wheelies instantly and the grass was smooth enough that it rarely tumbled over. I had an absolute blast!

I've always maintained that the best RC is only the best if you have the right space to run it - different types of RC need different environments to enjoy them - and the high CoG and inherently unstable nature of the tractor (due to the ridiculously large rear wheels) have, until now, left me struggling. Not any more... :D
