Well, my newest one was the Savage, but that was in the HPI forum. Ive built all of mine before I joined, except the new blackfoot & Savage.

Don't worry. Ill get something Electric soon...I hope, Im starting to like nitro.

I just swapped in the 20T pinion in my WW-2..

Try to see if this would be the preferred gearing for the Titan 12T motor.. consider that it is a big can motor...

We will see how it works tomorrow!!

I am sure any truck wheel with a lot of offset will work.. as long as it uses bearings that has 5mm inner diameter...

Works well.. I changed the 18T pinion to 20T, and it is still pulling mad wheelies.. (ask TEX! )

And it is quite quick..

But the run time does suffer... but what do you expect... faster and more torque, something has to give...

That was the one thing that I did not like about my Wild Willy is that I could only use two pinion sizes on it.
FYI I have it up for sale in RCU if anyone is interested.
I am moving on to another project.

Hi, First time posting on here. Just finished Willy yesterday and I'm trying to upload some pics. All I get is an error message when I click OK to upload.
Any ideas?[]

Look great!! Although I don't know if I like the wide suspension arm conversion!! But I am sure it works really well, ha!! Just looks kind of weird!!

Anyway, welcome to the WW-2 hang out.. there's many WW-2 owners at this thread!!
