|  Tamiya Wild Willy Build
Picked up a new in box Tamiya Wild Willy 2 off a mate for something to play with  Fairly standard build, bearings and grill change, probably more of a military theme being added to it. Obligatory box art shot...  Bearings installed in the gearbox.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Doesn’t take long to put the chassis together  Futaba S3003 servo.  Chassis pretty much finished, just need to get the esc sorted. I havn’t been able to use the tamiya ones as they don’t have a bec fitted. Probably have to buy a HW 1060.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Decided to add a solid front bumper instead of the one with all the holes. Will sand the edges once it’s set. Beginning to mark out a canvas roof for it too - steel wire frame for the back and a hole cutout for the window. Going to ask my mum to sew it Found some nice fabric which should be passable.
