Class 1 Willys pickup 2 Attachment(s) Figured I better post up my new build on here. It’s going to be based off an SCX10 ii with a Toyzuki forward motor mount and OD t-case. First of all, had to get rid of the paint on the chassis rails and make a flat delrin skid. This rig is one of my inspirations....it’s not going to be very pretty. |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup 3 Attachment(s) Started on the new drivetrain. Toyzuki stuff is so nice! |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup 5 Attachment(s) Started the body.....scratch built styrene. |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup Mr. Piggy, you are a man of many talents. I like your Willy....s. :ror: |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup Proportions are excellent! |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup Yes excellent start! I love your styrene work and choice of body! "thumbsup" |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup Awesome! I'm sure this will be a killer build as usual Tim. |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup 1 Attachment(s) Thanks guys. A little more styrene work. Working on the tailgate details.... |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup :shock: Wow! I like it! Perfect stance and the rims and tires look awesome. Tires with a little smaller diameter might work better, clearance-wise. Definately cool..."thumbsup" |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup Beautiful work so far! |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup Great start Tim, the body is looking rad AF, proportions and details are sweet |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup like macdonalds, I'm lovin it |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup excellent...... I was just saying last evening...... I really miss the old RCC. Ya know, WarPig, PinchFlat, RGerrish.... Glad your still building my brother"thumbsup" |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup Thanks guys! I’ll be on vacation all next week, but after that I’ll have 4 weeks to finish it up for Scale Nats. |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup 1 Attachment(s) One more before I go.... |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup That looks GREAT!! I admire people who have the patience to scratch build a body. Definitely subscribed to this one. "thumbsup""thumbsup" |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup Dang Tim, that's looking killer! That t-case is blast to run! Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup 1 Attachment(s) And I’m back. Figuring out the rear shock mounts. Roll bar is coming along too. |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup This is cool as hell! |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup Thank you sir! |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup Sub'ed |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup Superb work as always dude! |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup Great Styrene work. You make it look so easy. |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup "thumbsup""thumbsup" I spy a bottle of some 'Smooth-On' products- making some molds of the body? |

Re: Class 1 Willys pickup Damn, that's just as sexy! "thumbsup" |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup 2 Attachment(s) Got my new Berserkers mounted up. A bit smaller than the Growlers but I think they look proper. |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup Great looking little truck. Bet your glad you only had to do one of those WO logos. The Berserkers look really good on there. Looks more scale with the smaller diameter tires. It's amazing how something, so small, can make such big change in appearance. "thumbsup" |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup ^^This. Those wheels/tires look perfect! |

Re: Class 1 Willys pickup 3 Attachment(s) I’m back! I don’t have much time to finish this up, about 2 weeks. Got a lot done the last couple days. Got the roll bar fabbed up. The tabs on the bottom screw into a plate under the body. The rear bars tie into the shock mounts. Made some half sliders that the body sits on. Also made a simple single tube rear bumper. |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup Those Berserkers have been sitting in my RPP shopping cart for a couple weeks now. Haven't seen any real reviews on them. Any word on initial touch feel compared to the 1.55 RBs? The truck looks fantastic. Those are the narrowed beef tube axles correct? And all stainless tubing used? |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup Quote:
The front axle is the narrowed Beef Tubes AR44, but the rear I did myself because the BT narrowed axles are impossible to find right now. All my metal work is stainless except for the Axial chassis rails. |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup 3 Attachment(s) Got all the front steering links made, servo mounted and everything seems to clear. A little flex shot...... Stuffs the rear tire real nice! |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup Had the Berserkers been available when I ordered the 1.55 Rock Beats for my TF I might have changed my mind. Both are great looking tires, but I think the Berserkers look more street worthy. I can't say enough how much I love this build and how I'm jealous of your patience and skill for fab work! "thumbsup" The pictures also reassure me that I'll love my LURC 1.55 Trail Ready wheels when they get here. |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup Quote:
Thanks for the reply. I think I'll pull the trigger on the Berserkers, they look great in your pictures. I've been hunting for a narrowed AR44 for the front as well. Fairly confident I can do the rear but not so much on the front. Great work on this truck. Will the body stay on the chassis? Curious on location of battery/electronics and their accessibility. |

Re: Class 1 Willys pickup By far my favorite body I've seen in a long time this is turning out with perfect proportions! Nice job Tim! "thumbsup" |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup 3 Attachment(s) Thanks man! The front bumper had me stumped. It has to be at least as wide as the windshield, and I’m worried it’ll look funny. Here’s what I came up with last night....let me know what you think. |
Re: Class 1 Willys pickup I don't think that looks bad, you could almost run it down the fenders a hair more but the little nubs look just fine. Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk |
