Product Information

The Grasshopper (re-re) - 380 motor: 10T/0.8 mod -standard fit is pressed/shrunk onto motor shaft; 540 motor: 18T/0.8 mod; mad brushless: use 10T midnight pumpkin / lunchbox 10T/0.8mod gear & gearbox fittings (Thanks Jonny Retro)

If you like a fun car to drive, the re release Wild Willy can take a beating too and its a good racer as well (imo), on the right surface it can drift and slide, do donuts, survives rolls etc, to keep the nose down you could put some weight up front. And have a look at youtube there are some very nice video's with Willy, the tamiya wheelie models are very versatile (think that came out of a Tamiya commercial ). And if you are going to keep the M38 as a valued classic you defo need the rere. Subaru Brat (re-re) - 16T, 18T, 19T depending on spur gear, 0.8 mod metric (32 dp also fit) - thanks Jonny RetroCitroen Xsara WRC Rallye de Monte Carlo 2004 (TT01 chassis) - standard is 19T 0.6mod/AV, Tamiya part number 50355 - thanks Jonny Retro Tamiya first produced a Wild Willy in the 1980s. The Wild Willy 2 is an updated and improved version! motor sounds its the original, don't tamper with that one they are not ment to be taken apart, you wont find replacement and only this type will fit. Then starts the body work - like Theo said, I never use primer for Olive drap color (see his explaination why) - I rather sand the body a bit to get better "grip" for the later to come paint

Willys was an American automobile manufacturer. They received a commission to build four-wheel drive reconnaissance cars for use in the Second World War. The original model was the Willys MB. The Willys M38 succeeded it and was in production from 1949 to 1952. It is this Willys M38 that serves as the basis for this kit. I'll cover the chassis differences (between the M38 SWB & LWB) in a later article. Willy's Wheeler vs Wild Willy M38s It's a longer wheelbase model (it has the lot slot in the trailing arm metal mount); I did read up on this the other day as I thought the SWB version did not last long before being re-issued (?)Wild Willy 2's designers have been up until the wee hours of the morning putting the final touches on this exciting stunt vehicle. Another timeless classic from Tamiya! I bet if you look at this car in another 20 years it will still look as fresh as it does today, and that mad Willy with his jumpsuit and oversize head has got to be the coolest and most instantly recognisable of all Tamiya figures.

I even thought it still had its wrapping around the wheelie bar One thing I noticed but I am not sure it looks like super glue was used on the tires/rims. Never one to miss an opportunity for "Willy" jokes, I thought I'd write up an article on the differences between the various incarnations of the Tamiya Wild Willy RC jeep. Holiday Buggy 2010 (DT-02 chassis) - standard is 10T 0.8mod pressed on 380 motor (Tamiya part # 17435039 or 7435039), 540 motor upgrade uses 17T 0.8mod (tamiya part # 3515005) - thanks Jonny Retro In one way, I'd like to get something that might be used 'entry' or 'junior' level at a buggy club but I suspect none of the suggested items are really that suitable for this. Or are they?L7/L5 (steering wheel and post) which I glue prior to painting, although not attaching to body until after everything is painted. Alternatively, be gentle with it, and otherwise enjoy it on the shelf. And buy something else (newer and cheaper) for the kids to mess with. Let's start with the most obvious difference between the two: on what Tamiya call the "Arm Stay". The SWB version has a round hole, and the LWB parts are longer overall with a slot.
