RE: Tamiya Wild Willy 2 Resource Thread!
yep to wide, 1.9 wont fit the wr01 rims, you could change the front axles/hubs of the WR01 so you can use 12mmhex then you can use 1.9 rims with any 1.9 tires.

+1 they never would have gotten it stabil enough with a hardbody without loosing the look [quote]ORIGINAL: The Mad Modder [quote]ORIGINAL: Lunchboxer I think with the VW body being so high, if it is made of hard plastic, the CG will be way too high and won't be able to corner at all.. ha!

[quote]ORIGINAL: 56-jeephead Working on that one still. I did not want any bling on it. Got some ideas brewing, more to come. [/quote] put the rims in the dishwasher, the cleaning tabs are so agresive that it should be able to remove the chrome. then you can spray them any color you like. Or adapt the front so 12mm hexes will fit and you can use any rims you like.

I know, thats why I replaced the shell on this Willy M38. I like the wheels of the M38 more than the ones on the 'new' Pajero (well you should like it as they put the pajero shell on the "Lunchbox" chassis) here a pic of my latest purchase,

RE: Tamiya Wild Willy 2 Resource Thread!
gearbox is pretty much sealed, have a look at page 17&18 of the manual. only weakpoints are where the diffs come out (put rubbershielded bearings there) and the holes for the alternativ motor position (can press some wax in it). I had a couple of runs on beaches and did not find much inside the gearbox. I have mainly problems with the steeringservo were the screw tends to fall out. (just have to check more regularly) and the screws that keep the arms and uprights in place, replaced most of them with these "Tamiya 53301 TL-01 Stainless Steel Suspension Shaft Set"

RE: Tamiya Wild Willy 2 Resource Thread!
water is not so much a problem for the motor (except if it is salty, but you could clean with disstiled water afterwarts) water is more trouble for the ESC and receiver. bearings they also have a ebay shop (sometimes cheaper) and yes total stripdown but its pretty easy and you can get the manual here and get a steel 18T pinion (RRP RRP-1118 or a 20T if you need some more speed)

RE: Tamiya Wild Willy 2 Resource Thread!
If your Willy has ballbearings (preferably rubber seals) and a metal pinion, than that should be enough. just cleaning of the dust und putting just a little oil on the driveshafts and cups(but wipe it dry again so it doesnt collect dirt) against rust, or use dry lube you could put this on the motor, Tamiya - 9400480 WW1 isnt that expensive, if you are lucky you can get a LWB for aprox. 130euro that is still in good shape
