Thought that I would take some time to introduce myself, I'm new to RC Crawler and wanted to say that viewing your projects is an inspiration. It's a fantastic resource and is nice to see so many others with the same passion for the hobby.

Thought you may want to take a look at my latest project, UNGLEWD.
  • HPI Wheely King axles
  • Maximizer Diff Lockers
  • Stock Wheely King Transmission
  • CNC machined frame rails (Jowett's Kustom)
  • Scratch built roll cage
  • Hot Bodies shocks
  • Novak Rooster Crawler Edition ESC
  • 55T Integy
  • Axial Rockster bead locks
  • Axial Rock Lizards
  • HPI Bronco Body
There will be detailed descriptions available on my website for all of my projects as soon as it's complete. I will post the link as soon as I can.

Hope you like it,

Sweet build-up, that turned out really nice. Wild Willy looks right at home in the Bronco body too.

I have that body on my custom WK as well... But it looks nowhere near as good as that! Nice job on your truck.

Thanks for the feedback guys!
I thought it would be fun to add Willy, only had room for a partial interior because of the stock WK tranny. For my current build, I'm going to give a full interior a shot. It's Scorpion based and uses one of my full length frames. I plan on using Willy for this too, he should keep most of his organs intact though.

Also I did build the cage myself, braised 3/16" steel tube. I made it so it could be unbolted easily to be replaced by another cage and body style later on. I change my mind often.

That's an awesome lookin build. Only thing that looks off IMO is that it sits kinda high...but I like my rigs real low, so I may be kinda partial

I agree about the height. This may be adjusted or lowered a bit still. I just have a hard time chopping out the wheel wells for tire clearance.
Thanks for the feedback,

I have started on the scale accessories today. I modeled a fuel cell out of styrene and will add decals to it and the nitrous bottle.

This is a pretty good shot of the winch & front bumper. The winch & hook is from the Wild Willy 2, the cable is just some wire that I twisted together.

Yeah, the hood was all black on the inside first. I then masked the body and hood scoop off and airbrushed it using Parma fascolor on the outside. The fender flares were done in the same way.

Finally complete!
Made a few bungee cords and added the decals that I was waiting for.
Can't wait to get out and put some scratches in it.
