After watching a certain video on PooTube I found myself wanting to build a Willys. After a little FleaBay watching and a order to RC4WD, I ended up with this.

Hasbro body
27 turn hand wound motor
RC4wd 16:1 tranny
RC4wd disrupter trasfercase
Axial axles w/ 5mm wideners on each side
Punisher shafts (now not pictured)
Chinese wheels and tires that I wish I had some more of.
and a steering wheel kit from ZoSo.

This thing is an absolute blast to drive. As soon as my driver arrives I'll post up a video. The only thing I would do different is not gear it as low. i think it ended up at about 100:1.
I guess I'll do the math first next time.

looks great.... like the link set-up... awesome articulation ...yeah even the R2 is a little low and TOO loud ...I'm changing it to the axial trans I'll let you know how it works. I need to edit a couple hours of video.... down to a couple of minutes. My guy is still a little stiff armed at the wheel ..maybe adding a fishing weight to the elbow.... to turn right better. looking forward to the video

A body off shot would not show much. I have a rc4wd disrupter txfr bolted to the center crossmember and a thin strip of aluminum on the inside of the frame rails for mounting the links. I will try to get some more detail shots posted. I dropped my good camera so my iphone will have to do for now.

Nice build. I'm working on mine also. The progress is so slow....

Mr.Joshua · 04-17-2010, 09:30 PM

Nice rig. Love the willy! How did you make the clean areas on the windshield from the wipers?

TimJohnson · 04-18-2010, 07:53 AM

If you have the army version it is alread marked on the windows. If you have the navy verison, a little masking tape and and airbrush does well.

Myself, I am shocked at the amount of money in hardware needs to be spent for this mod.

With that note, anyone want to trade a Mad Force in perfect condition (not a single scratch) for an Axial crawler? Really all I want is the drive train; Axels, drive shafts.
