I ordered a wild willy driver figure but I have very little space to get him completly in the chassis , maybe have to relocate the esc to the back for creating more space the cage . I will see it when willy arrives at my home , I think he comes by foot |

The wild willy figure has arrived , there is just one problem , he is giant compared to the cage I made . I think I have to cut his legs to make it fit |

Thx , I switched the brushless to a tekin fx-r with a 19 turns motor and it drives a lot better now . The brushless set was cogging like hell . I just need a little more ground clearance . I want to change the tires too because we drive alot in dirt and mud . I am thinking about the tsl super swamper / boggers but has anyone some experience with them ??? , or should I take the good old mud slingers .

Nice cage work, clean and simple. I tend to overdo mine. |
