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?

Status: offline 		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?

Status: offline 		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.

Status: offline 		are that softcase LiPo!
Be carefull that they are tightly fitted and dont rub against anything or you might damage the outer layer.
If that happens Willy will have its balls on fire.

Been using an older softcase pack for all my Tamiyas, but it is starting to wear out, I actually should use it for my WW2 since that is still on brushed motor. Dunno why I didn't think of that haha.
