The 5.5t brushless is still in it
And yes I editted the video in adobe aftereffects and did some color adjustments, I thought it makes it look more interresting..

The WR-02 chassis is getting realy popular again in Japan found this site, JR-RC has the items in his shop, and they offer a lot of bling.

Collector - Do like I do, since it's the same base kit, just get the body parts.
That's what I did with the VW bus. Got the body, body mounts, driver and front bumper.
Will probably do the same with the Jimny.[8D]
Waterbok - is there an English site for Tech Racing? Don't really like Babelfish.

If you don't have any yet, maybe start out w/ the original?! ha! Although I'd guess the other 2 would handle "better" since they have light weight lexan shells, instead of hard plastic..
But I don't think you buy these for their handling anyway..
Can't go wrong with any of them!

Get the Willy 2 then just buy the bodykits for the VW and the Jimny when it comes out. 3 in 1!
Unless of course you like collecting, then by all means get them all!
FYI, the VW came out just a few months back whilst the Jimny is still on order.
