Honda City Turbo w a Motocompo in the trunk. Brushless motor. Lead weight at center and low areas of chassis. Still a WIP.

I’ve always wanted to own one, so I often peruse this sub. This is where I currently am… I can only hope to buy one within the next few years. FMS/RocHobby 1/6 scale 1941 MB Scaler, with aesthetics inspired by Tamiya Wild Willy. LMK if it breaks rules, will comply and delete, if so.

A little thing I put tgthr to help w summer heat.

I’m quite fond of Wild Willy and what he evokes for my nostalgia. So here’s my 1/12 tribute. Base vehicle is from FMS/RocHobby and is the 1/12 1941 MB Scaler. The Tyre cover fell off. This thing does crawl very well. Leaf suspension, too!

Flexed like it was Friday. Mostly scale lines.

My 1/6 Wild Willy scaler made from an FMS 1941 MB Scaler. 🫡 This was Tamiya-inspired. The Big Willy was printed by @itman3d

A little, dry riverbed trail… Redcat Gen8 V2

Always touted that it’s one of the most underrated rigs. Super fun on n off road. Aesthetics are on point, too. 🫡

I was wondering the diameter of the monster tyres. I realized they’re similar to the General Grabbers w 1.55” center. I transferred, and look how good they kinda match. What say you? Thoughts? I prefer my wheels silver/grey, tho. 🤔 Gonna try them out, tmrw.

Tamiya Lunchbox getting the rear window treatment. IDK if I should paint black, or keep light. These are DIY from styrene, and superglue. Quick n easy, plus freeeee materials from my stash bin.

Went w a more scale aesthetic on this Tamiya Lunchbox. Always loved the toy, never liked the toy colors.

Tamiya Lunchbox Evo; box-art, but w a scale twist.

Been using the Tamiya panel paint to pronounce the details from my RCs. Coupled w Flat Clear on the chrome pieces, it looks like a good starting point towards a more scale detail effect. I got this method from my static models days.

The extended wheelbase Lunchbox fits in the lunch tray. Unfinished project. Showing the painted wheels, and how the 1/4” wheelbase extension not looking too off.

Had money n time to burn for this small project. Gonna be an unnecessarily fast LB, w a touch of scale accessories. IDK what livery to use, yet. Brushless 4000kv motor, tested w 3S. Too fast, will most likely strip gears, but I’m good w throttle control. Testing phase —of course it’s unfinished…

One of my scalers. This one has HW Fusion, Blk Label servo, CCHand & TeraFlex accessories. There’s more, but we’ll look at the other mods in the future.

Hobbywing Fusion treatment in the TF2. Looking fwd to smoother crawls, and controlled speed w the increased torque.

NOS Bottle helps w the Wild Willy homage FAV. Amazon finds. Stick-on and bolt-on accessories are easy.

Gonna dig into my Scale Accessories bin and throw on everything it can haul.
