Was Bored......Took Pics Of My Willy :-)
 

Noooo, not MY Willy........my Wild Willy. Well........you know what I mean :mrgreen: Got Wild Willy out today since it was raining. Dusted him off and ran him a bit in the shop. Quite the modded Willy. Full bearings, 17x2 Speed Gem, aluminum shocks, aluminum bumper, super wheelie bars, lots of stainless screws, rollbar pads (I am a sissy) and a few other odds and ends. Wheelie bar works great, muuuuuuch better than the stock one. Willy also has a locked diff which is tons of fun when trying to turn around or turn for that matter ;-) Oh, and the goofy aluminum stuff around the front end......dunno what I was trying to accomplish there. Sooooooo, thought ya'll might be entertained for a brief moment with some pictures. Also included is the required articulation shot. Willy is more of a straight line runner than a crawler. Hee hee. Pics are ok, SOME damn day I'll finger out how to use this fancy camera inside! Grrrrrr

wild willys may not be the best r/c for anything but they are fun as heck to play around with.
will post pic of my willy too, just waiting for the star.

wow, Bill, you've got a small Willy! :-P

I would love to play with Bill's willy!

Heeeeey now, keep it clean guys ;-) Nobody plays with my Willy, least not the one pictured here :mrgreen:

looks great but i cant wait to see this thing in the next couple montsh its probably going to be ridiculously modded isnt it??? you always seem to impress me with the new stuff you come out with

Eh, can't really think of anymore mods for Willy actually. Have had him since December of 2003. Only thing that would be really kewl is a brushless system for him. Course right now he is quite the handful to drive with a little 17x2 motor :mrgreen: Maybe something to get some different wheels and tires on him too and extend the wheelbase a little bit. Is one heck of a fun little vehicle though regardless.

well with the way the drivers eyes are, you must have been toking while building it :lol: the lil feller looks good :mrgreen:

Heh, Twisted.......... I am not a toker. Can't say that I never was though ;-) Willy does look a little wired though I have to agree. Here is a picture of his older brother :mrgreen: Not the best picture of him but he prefers nobody sees his face.
