It is not the best handler in snow.. (RWD only, with open diff..) But it was a lot of fun on hard packed snow like in the pic.. u can do power slide and donuts..

It is all about fun.. not about all out speed.. (for that, I'd choose a better platform to begin with.. something w/ 4WD and independent suspension..)

Don't worry about trashing the gearbox. I had a Pumpkin with a 10t motor and the gearbox never flinched.
You might want to try fabbing up a sway bar for the front. I always wished I had one.


That's good to know.. because I might change out the ESC and put in a hotter motor just to see what it will be like!

Sway bar.. hmm.. now that's an interesting idea!! I might just do that.. Thanks for the idea!

Now with Tamiya hop-up oil shocks on the back as well.. (still need to order a short one for the 3rd shock conversion..)



With its new playmate, Wild Willy 2... WW2 is equipped w/ ESC that can handle down to 13T motor, while the Lunchbox has the stock TEU-101.. time to get another radio too...

Yeah, it is the re-issue.. although, it is a completely different truck compare to the original.. just the exterior is similar..

Yes, both trucks have full ballbearings.. no, they are extra.. they don't come with those..

It is hard to compare.. the WW2 is much more advanced (double wishbone front and rear) but it also has a shorter wheelbase for the wheelie.. (this thing can drive with 2 wheels for a pretty long distance..! And this is w/ stock motor!) But I would have to say the WW2 handles better..

Neither are race quality, of course.. but it would be fun to race them against each other or with other similar trucks...

The tires on WW2 are the same tires on the Lunchbox.. they are 115mm diameter.. so I think they are smaller than the Clod tires.. (I am not familiar with Clod, though, so I don't know, but I think it is a much bigger machine, no?)

Yup. Both Lunchbox and WW2 come with wheelie bars.. !! (Or they will simply flip over!)
