TURTLE · 05-29-2012, 09:35 PM

Started on this project a few months ago. Wrecker came down and I put him to work on some tube work. I finally got in mounted to a cut down SCX10 chassis. The body is a narrowed and sectioned Nikko TJ. Wheelbase is around 10.5", AX10 axles, AX10 transmission, SCX10 wheels with MThead rings and 2-56 button head hardware.

1/8" solid rod to keep it light. The goal here is to open up a new class of rigs limited to a 10.5" wheelbase and max tires of 4.2" based on past W.E. ROCK and U.ROCK buggies. RC4WD Mickey Thompson Baja Claws in 4.19" round off where this rig is currently at.

More soon!

Sweet guys!

So the inspiration for this rig came from Jessie Haines, the little Willies were too cool not to at least loosely base a rig on.

This is were my 1.9 Pro Mod project began.

Sick! the original and your version are awsome

Great work so far.

Modbug · 05-30-2012, 10:56 PM

Cool build, man that Willies looks so small.

It looks like it has a lawnmower engine in it.

pixelnate · 05-31-2012, 12:25 PM

Looking good so far. A lot of work to go, though.

Yeah they are small, that was part of the big appeal to me.

It wasn't too far away, I just had to find the time to work on it.

And she is done!

Added a bit more tubing from the last post, sanded and filled some spots on the body, made some links out of 8/32 all thread sleeved with metal tube and threw some revo rod ends on to finish the links off.

For electronics I put in a 208oz metal geared servo, Castle creations Mamba Max, Spektrum SR3100 receiver and Holmes Hobbies 20 turn hand wound motor.

Here is how she is looking.

Took it for a a test drive in front on my garage, fun little rig and turned out really capable for a 10 3/8" wheel base.

Seats and dash are currently shoo goo'd in place, seats were notched to cover up the transmission and give the look of a full interior. I think it worked out pretty well considering how small this rig is.

team_guahan · 07-08-2012, 05:19 PM

very nice rig ...

Wrecker · 07-08-2012, 05:24 PM

Good to see that thing finally done, it was a fun little project to help start. It turned out freakin sweet!

braceysdad · 07-08-2012, 05:44 PM

I probably need to price it at that to get Baller interested.

So I couldn't help taking it out on the rocks and I got to say this thing is awesome, it crawls fantastic and I love the look.
