Thanks for posting this video! I only had a Grasshopper when I was a kid and I’m getting back into this now, 40 freakin years later! My Dad’s nickname was Wild Willie AND we both loved Ford trucks and Broncos from the early 90’s. So I’m definitely gonna buy one of these now in memory of my crazy badass Dad!!!! I have an old Harley named after him. Now I’ll run this in memory of him when I can’t ride the Harley that’s named after him! Pretty cool!!! Thanks a ton for posting this!!!
The car really looks great with those wheels and tires ! The stock ones are just a bit too big. Thank you again for showing this amazing WW2! Stay safe, all the best from Norway, Toby
Great job! The Willy looks amazing, I've always wanted one for years. I'm going to get one now since I recently got back into rc's. Excellent vid by the way!
They're all the same offset and all 12 mm hex drives. Also this isn't a standard WWII, it's a Comical Hornet which is basically the same but has hexes for the front instead of shafts
@@chibiskyrc Ah! I just looked up the Comical Hornet and never knew the lower suspension, steering and axles were different. Now I see the light. Thanks for the help.
Everyone enjoys the hobby as they wish but I personally dont believe in shelf queens. No point of an RC if it's not driven imo! Even my few "shelf queens" have minor scratches because they're run just the same
I was 14 and this was my very first rc car, the Wild Willy very first version. Long long time ago.

Looks lo a fun indeed! Do you think wider spaced (rear-) tires could give it more stabilty without losing wheelie-action?
Awesome... I also uploaded my tamiya video few day ago
You know there is an Avante comical buggy and it's four wheel drive from Tamiya that they now makes.
I've seen that! It's basically a GF-01
Put a little tape on the side wall to stop it from flipping
Could be a cool comical crawler body imo.
I've seen people make custom chassis to make it a scale crawler.. It's a fun idea!
Nice! Great Video. Can you do a Video of Tamiya M06 Chasis if you have one. Thanks and stay safe!
Thanks! Unfortunately the closest I have is my M02 and MF01X
There is a Wild Willy's 2 chassis.
How did you fit Barrage Doomsday wheels on a 2wd wild Willy?

Driving these rc's on concrete isnt ideal. They shine on loose dirt
And by the way please no shelf Queens.
