TOPIC:

After some longer time restoring 1:8 Robbe Cars I took the chance to get Wild Willy LWB in very good condition. Today it has arrived. From first look I do not see any wear or damages.Tires soft, no cracks, seems complete. What do you think?

Only thing which I noticed is the missing servo bracket and unfortutanely the MSC. Is that MSC (black PCB and 2 resistors) dedicated for the Wild Willy 1 only or was it also used on other Chassis as I have some problems to find one.

Anyone who has one left or knows where I can get one? Or is it as rare as some other Tamiya vintage parts and there will be no chance to get one?

 

 

It looks like new built. Very nice find.

Very nice WW - looks barely used, if at all

I would look at the Opel Ascona, Audi Quattro & Willy's Wheeler for bits,; the Frog & Brat has the 2 resistors as well. Possibly the MSC is black in some Frogs/Brats too  - I'm sure it was in my early Grasshopper as well, although the wiring may have been different as that had a single, 3-pin resistor. the Pajero wheelie is close enough in release date that it's worth a look too. I think if you persevere, something will come up

The tiny M2 pip bit that fits on the end of the steering servo arm though, I don't think I've ever seen one of those come up for sale, they're rarely on Willy's either - at least not the ones I've bought. I resorted to turning down a brass acorn nuts ...  

Willy MSC, switch stay & resistors on ebay: www.ebay.co.uk/...4047495670

Oh man, that would have been perfect fit. Unfortunatley I did not find that yesterday before and I just purchased a bracket and a controller separately in Gemany an UK. I thought this would be rare and took the chance. But hey, better be happy about the second best than frustrated after weeks of searching without success😁

…but still look for the hook for the wench😉

In my defence, They were on sale AND free post hahaha

 

But they're the STEALTH version

 

Upgrades 😊

Another day, another questionable Cheetah purchase.
This may come in handy, I’m sure I had a good reason for buying it, but right now I can’t remember why???
