Off to ebay!

Lunchboxer

I doubt the WW-2s are being discontinued!! Said it ain't so!!!!!!!!!

rcluke

email them and ask

rcluke

Lunchboxer

Maybe the RTR XB series is being cancelled.. but I am sure the kit is still around..

Who knows!! If they decide to kill it, it is gonna be an instant classic for sure!!

Hunter -> order one now and put it away!!!!

rcluke

well the one that i preordered from modelsport was the kit version,

hunter306

Any secret Towerhobbies codes in your backpocket?? I might just do that.

Lunchboxer

Only $20 off $149.9

The XB WW2 is at the moment, unavailble to all suppliers. Trust me, I called around. That means the end of the XB WW2 most likely.

Lunchboxer

Yeah, the kit is still available at Tower.. nice!!

So is the XB Lunchbox.. (hee hee..)

PsYkHoTiK

Hmmm!

I kinda sorta want a Wild Willy 2.... HMM! I guess next month then (postpone road car lol.)

Lunchboxer

Can't use a road car during winter anyway.. I say WW-2 all the way!!!

[]TEX[]

I need to call TamUSA.....we should start getting a cut of this...LOL

Lunchboxer

I have been on Tamiya's payroll for a long time.... (joke)

Lunchboxer

Tested out the combo tonight.. seems to work pretty well.. wheelie harder now... and got decent speed.. probably can afford to gear up.. but it is alright.. fast enough!!

Will see how it stack up to the Sport Tune equipped WW-2 that TEX got!!

hunter306

Was it a vast improvement over the Silver 540 can?

Lunchboxer

Hmm.. to be honest with you.. since I don't have a GPS.. I got no reference.. it definitely wheelie harder.. as I can pull a wheelie after the car is rolling at speed.. (instead of needing to gun it from standing still..)

Higher top speed too..

The run time is still great.. I went out and test it.. did not even use up the GP3300 pack.. and I came in as it was pretty cold outside.. ha!

(also sucks that I found out that one of my IB-4200 cells went bad.. argh!! [:@])

But we will see.. once I meet up w/ TEX to see how it compares to the Sport Tune..

Maybe I need to put in the 20T pinion to get the full benefit of the big can motor...

[]TEX[]

Seemed pretty fast to me....faster than my WW2.

Lunchboxer

Not that much faster..... esp. if you are counting it as a 12T (granted, 550-size) motor...

Oh well.. good thing that it is no more than a Sport Tune when it comes to cost, I guess.. (a couple dollars more..)

I will see if I got any 20T pinion lying around.. try that out..

paintstikker

I still have one boxed up, maybe Ill keep it like that just in case....I cant believe that I havent built this for three years!!! I always build something ASAP, maybe 10 min after I get it home?

Ill buy another one to build though!

Lunchboxer

You need to either build that one up or get another one ASAP!!! Can't let Willy sit in the box!!

rcluke

hey guys, my brother decided against the LB and is getting a Blackfoot Extreme, i was wondering is it any good ?

rcluke

Lunchboxer

4-wheel independent suspension.. would be a better basher, I am sure..

But not as "old school"...

rcluke

i kno dats what i said, but kids eh, wont listen to a thing you tell them

lol

paintstikker

Arrghh too many R/Cs I want (and need to have according to LB) and not enough money![:@]

Im going to invent the money bush, or flower or something.
