Tamiya Wild Willy 2 "Clint Eastwood" Edition

Post by Rc4on »

:D

This is my WW2 with a different driver. The body was cut to be as low as possible. The dampers are a little bit lower than stock. Add accessories like bag and grenades.

Enjoy the video :wink:
Made during summer vacations in Normandie (France)

It's Clint as Private Kelly from the movie "Kelly's Heroes." ;)
I miss brushed motors in that hazy, everything seemed better when I was a kid, kind of way.
