and it wheels great http://socalrcrc.org//threads/1049-S...ary-Jeep-Build! |
you really just mount everything to that plastic chassis? and is the transmission mounted to the plastic body or what? badass build brotha"thumbsup" |
I think I just found one of these today at Goodwill thrift store in Olympia, Wa. I paid $3.99 for it. the drivers seat is broken and the tools are missing. I am thinking of building a frame for it and hang my pair of clod axles under it. Here are some pics. I am a new instant fan of these willys builds. http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...p/HPIM1048.jpg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...p/HPIM1049.jpg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...p/HPIM1050.jpg |

I used a thin piece of rubber between the plastic and tranny ....to quiet the noise from the R2 |

just mount a skid plate to the transfer case then mount the assembly to the jeep. something like this: http://www.socalrcrc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1494 or build a sub frame like this: http://www.socalrcrc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1049 |
Well I'd like to say you've inspired me too!!! Got me a 1/6 Willys off eBay and am impatiently waiting for delivery. :-? http://i510.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/777jeepa.jpg http://i510.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/777jeepb.jpg http://i510.photobucket.com/albums/s...s/777jeepd.jpg Looks an aweful lot like yours did with some of the same missing parts, maybe more. :ror: I think I'm gonna do leaf spings though and probably make my own frame and I'm looking for axles and found these and am wondering if they'll be big enough and strong enough to hold up. http://www.axialracing.com/ftp/ax10options/AX30488.htm Thanks for any and all help!!

Never mind... Found this very informative thread "thumbsup" http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showt...t=82489&page=2 Now to find them. |
Hello..... Hi: I'm a new member, living in Barcelona, Spain. Sorry for my English is not too good... I'm looking to do one 1/6 Willys like yours but I don't know NOTHING about parts, where to buy it, ratios of diffs, gearboxes... :shock: Well, I want to know more. If somebody can help me sending links of stores, mechanical specs (ratios of diffs, kind of engines, for ex.), details or anything, believe me, I`ll be so thankful.... "thumbsup"I have a radio control for a plane, could it be used here?? Coils or leaf springs?? Regards from Barcelona!!!! |

has anyone tried to use Kyosho Mad force axles for this kind of build? I caught the bug for this willys jeep after seeing them at the RCX show. I have a Navy version of the jeep on its way to my house. Now I am trying to find all the bits needed. Can someone give me a Width measurment from C-hub to C-hub that will work with this jeep? Thanks for your help. :) |

The Force axles are easy to narrow |
Cool write-up Dave! |
The Wheely King axle do not need any widener? just stock one can fit the 1/6 willy body perfect? |

standard offset is all you need |

I am hooked on these to, I have 2 bodies, one is the GI Joe with trailer and the other is the Ultimate Fighting Jeep. I am going to make the GI Joe into a full 4 link, SCX 10 based CJ2A scaler and the Ultimate is going to be a 1947 CJ2A Military with the GI Joe traier painted to match. |
sweet i am looking for a willys toy now |
Man, this is a nice build. i just checked out your videos on youttube and was impressed with your rust effect. if i didn't see you painting rust on the plastic i would have sworn it was all metal. |
Just sold our first RTR Willys on RCPcrawlers.com keep an :shock: eye out for the next RTR Build cages stingers sliders bumpers and steering wheels are online |

sold the 2nd ARTR Willys..... working on the next one |
I'm getting the itch to build one of these monsters, but I'm curious if anyone has documented the various Jeeps that are available? I see several GI Joe Jeeps, but some are much more detailed than others. I also see some made by Dragon and Hasbro. Not sure, but it appears the Dragons may have the most detail? I'm looking for a Willys, but mine won't be military style. Can anyone shed some light on the differences among these Jeeps and which ones are preferred....any why? I'd sure appreciate it! :) |
I bought a Willy's jeep from onlyinajeepxj ,from the classified section ,best 20.00 bucks I have ever spent joining this site for crawler parts and tech,,I am on pins and needles waitin on mine to show up so I can get started on it ,Going to be lookin for some parts for it ,I have a dilema do I tear apart a good ax10 to build it or looks for parts ,,,,KMS |

... than the GI Joe Hasbro 2001-2003 Willys.... the wider front makes steering and shock placement tougher, but they can be done. the GI Joe is the easiest build...pretty much just cut and bolt to the existing plastic frame and body. good luck |
2 Attachment(s) ZoSo is this the one you are talking about ,,,KMS |
that's the one.....just a little cutting and drilling ....You'll be crawling in no time. |
Thanks very much for the info! So it looks like I need an early 2000 GI Joe Jeep. I assume the old and new GI Joe Jeeps are all made by Hasbro? Obviously, the older ones are way less detailed, though. |
