At first from the pic, I thought the Farm King has the same front tires as the regular WW-2 and over-sized rear tires.. but it turned out that the front tires are 97mm unit (I think from TLT? Looks kind of like it).. so it has smaller front tires... ha!

RE: Tamiya Wild Willy 2 Resource Thread!
 

<font color="#000080">If they used the TLT wheelset for the fronts then they would indeed need a 12mm hex setup.
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?</font>

RE: Tamiya Wild Willy 2 Resource Thread!
 

I didn't buy it.. only saw it on eBay.. I think it was not cheap.. $40+..

RE: Tamiya Wild Willy 2 Resource Thread!
 

<font color="#000080">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? </font>:D

RE: Tamiya Wild Willy 2 Resource Thread!
 

Yeah, saw the aluminum NOS bottle, but that's pure bling only.. nice to have, but can't live without, I think.. ha! :D

RE: Tamiya Wild Willy 2 Resource Thread!
 

that stuff is on the market since a couple of months, but way expensive.
But yes very bling [8D]

RE: Tamiya Wild Willy 2 Resource Thread!
 

Saw some nice WR-02 pics from TamiyaBlog..

RE: Tamiya Wild Willy 2 Resource Thread!
 

<font color="#000080">I like the Veedub.
Too bad he "carnaged" the fender wells.</font> [:@]

RE: Tamiya Wild Willy 2 Resource Thread!
 

Ha, yeah... I think he wante to moun the body low and still clear the front wheels...

RE: Tamiya Wild Willy 2 Resource Thread!
 

As the misses got me the Jimny and VW T bodies for my Bday, I sourced another WR chassis and spend it some dynawheels.

RE: Tamiya Wild Willy 2 Resource Thread!
 

Are they aluminum wheels?!

RE: Tamiya Wild Willy 2 Resource Thread!
 

I think they are street rover rims/tires.

RE: Tamiya Wild Willy 2 Resource Thread!
 

As I said Dyna wheels from Dyna Blaster/Blitzer Beetle Chrome Edition, but yes they got rereleased on the streetrover.
Mine are originals http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...eeth_smile.gif, genuine Tamiya high quality plastic rims

So here is the proof that pulling Wheelies with a jeep aint fiction.
But we got beaten to it by a girl toddler. [:@]

Girlpower;)

The next rerelease will be called Wheeling Wilma and comes in pink.:D

RE: Tamiya Wild Willy 2 Resource Thread!
 

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.

The head of the driver is bigger than Willy'!! [X(]

RE: Tamiya Wild Willy 2 Resource Thread!
 

Took my Wild Willy 2 out to the beach. Sealed gearbox kept all the sand out, seemed to run really well at the beach, surprised me that's for sure.
