Long(er than average) wheelbase Wild Willy www.ebay.co.uk/...4721745757 ;)

Ok looking Blackfoot - www.ebay.co.uk/...5072090460

What's noteworthy is the - presumably custom made - fitted storage & carrying case. From a simpler time when you usually just had the one RC & it was worth the time & effort to make something like that. They evidently had two batteries and a fast charger, that was more than I had initially, with my Grasshopper, very limited tools, one battery pack & slow charger. IIRC I had at least as much fun with RC as I do now

Usually I'm unimpressed by collection only on something that could easily posted - IMO it's lazy and stupid - but in this case I can see their point

Case in point - www.ebay.co.uk/...3757454215

Too heavy to post, apparently

Yeh, some efforts gone into that Blackfoot case.

My Super Hornet lived in it's original box. I've now "upgraded" to some plastic storage boxes from the hardware store.

Strine SWB Willy in what looks suspiciously like Ford Purple Velvet Metallic  www.ebay.co.uk/...3976943104

Well today in a Wild One forum a member posted pictures and a link to this alloy chassis, Well of course I could resist and ordered one but all the other alloy bolt on's in the picture AUD$350 later 😊

 

Nice... I'm curious about the weight compared to the original chassis...
But that is interesting for sure Link?

That looks beautiful and the other nice thing is that they wont stay shelf queens they will be driven. You'll probably need a motor with a bit of torque to run it depending on the weight of course.
Looking forward to seeing the builds. 

That's one thing I'm not sure about : alloy doesn't break but tend to bend...Lot of original Kyosho Ultima chassis finished in bended state. They have to be replaced exactly the same way as you would do with an ABS chassis, actually... And another thing is that I would not dare to run with this type of chassis on a beach with sand and salted water... I'm sticking to ABS for the Wild One : my wild one will be built for runs where I would not dare to run my Turbo Scorpion
