At first from the pic, I thought the Farm King has the same front tires as the regular WW-2 and over-sized rear tires.. but it turned out that the front tires are 97mm unit (I think from TLT? Looks kind of like it).. so it has smaller front tires... ha!

If they used the TLT wheelset for the fronts then they would indeed need a 12mm hex setup.
Everything Willy is sort of mix and match nowadays. just look at the Unimog - LB chassis they used.
By the way, I like that aluminum front brace. How much is it?

Suddenly, Willy upgrades coming out of the woodwork . . . more good stuff from Tech Racing Japan . . .did you see the aluminum NOS bottle? How's about the front and rear suspension arms? Wicked! I lke the front damper stays, the servo mounts, don't know what the front wide axle shafts are for . . . nor the body mounts. And they come in anodized gold as well . . . did I mention aluminum?

As the misses got me the Jimny and VW T bodies for my Bday, I sourced another WR chassis and spend it some dynawheels.

Did I ever post anything here about the progress on my 4x4 wild willy? I think I did, but never showed the result... it is almost finished, it rides but a final version of the chassis is underway from the printer, with small updates.

Took my Wild Willy 2 out to the beach. Sealed gearbox kept all the sand out, seemed to run really well at the beach, surprised me that's for sure.
