I've built a Grasshopper, Hornet and Lunchbox. They just take you back to a carefree time in RC. I highly recommend getting whatever kit strikes your fancy and have some fun with it.

Want ball differentials for some of your Re-Re's? Saw this post and thought it would be of interest to some.

tamiya kits are as fun to build as they are to run.
i got the monster beetle for xmas last year.
i had one back in the 80's that i raced at the track.
the new kits differentials are better and will
last as long as you run brushed motors only.

i know back in the 80's thorp made an upgraded diff for tamiya cars.
it was a little expansive back then.

I built a Grasshopper and a Hornet. Brought me right back to 1985. They are cheap, fun, and realistic.

If anyone is interested in the Monster Beetle or Blackfoot, definitely check out www.miponline. com web sight for their new ball diff for these kits. Right now they have discount codes, and free shipping going on. Its a win, win to fix a problem area in those R/c's.

Thanks, i was thinking wanted to put the Wild Willy 2 into PC online racing simulator so everyone could race online. Its raining season here so i think best to have something to race around virtually,collection of classic Tamiya model in action virtually. Plus can do some custom paintjobs and mods without ruining my real WW2. I did few conversion of R/C model into virtual sim, should be easy to do since i did some on Kyosho's and Traxxas.

Great work on the modeling!

I saw on your video link that this is for 4x4 Evo. Isn't that an ancient game?

True, its very ancient game but its easy to do moddings and implement custom made models especially R/C off-road car/trucks/crawlers. Last public copy of the game still available at http://vales.com/evo2

I think i'll make two types of Wild Willy 2: The original and the limited edition TAMIYA chrome.

That's very cool! You got a like and sub from me on YouTube.

I'll have to check this game out when I get my computer set back up. A Wild Willy would be awesome!

What program do you model in for this game?

Thanks for the sub JatoTheRipper.
I'm using Z-modeler (http://www.zmodeler2.com/), you can download it for free. It contain some support to export your models into various game eg GTA. I saw some guy at track mania build TAMIYA LUNCH BOX playable in PC here: (http://www.trackmania-carpark.com/car.php?id=2529)


Right now busy finishing my rock crawler models as posted on my Twitter. Then probably next week will start Wild Willy 2 hopefully finished and free public download before Christmas. Need extra work on coding to make it wheelie

What other kits, besides the Clodbuster's have been updated to be able to use stick lipo's?

I can deal with using brushed motors and esc's, budget radios & servos, but have a hard time wanting to use NiMH's again.

My first hobby grade RC was a TA-02T chassis with a baja F150 body. I LOVED that thing. Unfortunately I chopped it up and turned it into a battle bot for a high school project. If they re released that kit, I would buy it tomorrow. Then I might try an convince my local track to let it run with the 4x4 SCT class and see how the old girl would do.

For the record, there was no racing with my original, just lots and lots of battery packs of fun. The old mechanical speed control, being able to slam it in full reverse at high speed. Oh the physics I learned about. And the darn thing never did break... anything.
