I am looking for a WW 2 body, and excuse me if this is innapriopriate, but I'd like to have him holding a beer in one hand and the other arm in the air. Then take it off a jump and take a snapshot of that. I think it would be so funny.

HEY EVERYBODY!! Look at what RC4WD is going to start making! They say they're for a Wild Dagger, but of course anything with a WR-02 gearbox can use it. I like the slot they have at one side for motor mounting. No more adaptors needed to put pinions other than 18 or 20 into it.
Yes, it's a beautiful thing!
BTW here's the link:

The Checkpoint Money motor is such an awesome motor. It has more torque than the silvercan and top end. I can do wheelies 3 or more times as long with this motor. I will be trying the 20 tooth pinion soon when I find one, or ill just get the tamiya when I order from Tamiya this week.

I wouldn't pay $25k for a transmission for my Toyota even if it is made in US...
Keep us posted with it, I'd be interested to see how you like it for sure!!

It's made in the US (I'm pretty sure anyhow), so to me it's worth it. I'm considering getting one.

RE: Wild Willy 2 w/ pics
The rears are easy -> any wheel that uses 12mm hex will do..
The front might be more difficult.. as it uses a 5mm shaft.. (riding on 5x11mm bearings) So you need to find a front wheel that would work with that..
EDIT: Wait, I see you posted it in another thread as well.. do you have the original WW or the WW-2?

RE: Wild Willy 2 w/ pics
Would anyone be interested in an adapted Dubro rubber wheel for their wheelie bar? I finally have the proper tools (Taig mini lathe) to modify the aluminum hubs. Shown is a 1 and 1/4" wheel, but I believe that a 1" is available too, which would require no changes to the stock bracket.

I think it would be cool to have one riding on a 5x11mm bearings or something.. that'd be sick!
Good job either way.. it looks great!! [sm=thumbs_up.gif]
