I'd love to have one of these new Losi crawlers with a flat fender body. Do you guys think a Tamiya Wild Willy body would work?

no the wild willy is 1/10 the losi mrc is 1/18 but there are loads of other choices or just pickup a night crawler and then you can have a wild willy body

| The scale makes no difference. 1/10th scale bodies are by far the more scale choice. It more comes down to wheelbase and width.

| According to that thread linked above, the Wild Willy body is about 6.25" WB...as in, smaller than an MRC's by 1 1/4". ;)

I dont know about the wild willy but my mrc based flatfender came stock at 7.5in w/b and I have stretched it to 9 1/4in. with tlt wideners to make it more stable. everyone at the scaler comps seems to love it. here is my build thread and a few pics. Lil Joe my mrc scaler 1/10th scale jeep from today yesterday what the body looks like when new at 7.5in w/b |

That is cool, wheelinjp! I think a MRC/Wild Willy project is totally worth the work! I might have to do this. I also want to do a MRC monster truck at some point. I've never done any RC building from scratch, but there are so many cool projects I want to try after seeing things like this on the internet. Now I just have to find a job so I can start blowing money again! :-( Anybody want to hire an engineer in PA? |
