Ad Lav 367 Posted March 8, 2020 Doesn’t take long to put the chassis together Futaba S3003 servo. Chassis pretty much finished, just need to get the esc sorted. I havn’t been able to use the tamiya ones as they don’t have a bec fitted. Probably have to buy a HW 1060. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ad Lav 367 Posted March 10, 2020 Decided to add a solid front bumper instead of the one with all the holes. Will sand the edges once it’s set. Beginning to mark out a canvas roof for it too - steel wire frame for the back and a hole cutout for the window. Going to ask my mum to sew it Found some nice fabric which should be passable. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

toyolien 4681 Posted June 8, 2020 Surprised no one has commented on this one. It's a great build. Lots of nice details. I love the canvas roof. How does it run? Please with it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please with it? Thank you No idea why, I’m just happy to post photos of my builds regardless. It runs really well - my first Wild Willy so taking it fairly easy as I don’t want to break it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
