I used to race em properly etc.. is cool.

Used to spend hours taking it apart, cleaning it etc.. (used to race indoors on foam tyres mainly so used to get really dirty).

Was good fun, heh.

 

[FATBOY]

£105 including registered p+p! just looked at the instructions and it doesnt look at all easy!!!

 

[Daz]

All part of the fun.. once you strip it down a few times, youll be able to do it without instructions!

I took my time originally.. enjoyed it.. did a bit at a time.. its good fun!

depends what motor ya use?

Heh..

I had a stupid quick motor.. like, just got it for fun.. and I couldnt let it fully wind up on a track.. just got stupid speed, heh. Was fun tho.

Standard motors (27 Turn I think..) are not slow.. but they are the slowest I guess.. dunno what they are in MPH etc.. heh.

[FATBOY]

[Clart]

theyre not that hard to built. its stickering the bugger that takes ages!

 

[FATBOY]

aint gonna sticker it tho! gonna try and get small williams decals to make a copy of my willy 3

 

[MarkRS]

Used to race em aswell lol

Rememeber to paint the clear lexan shell on the inside, wash it inside first to get any grease off so the paint will stick.

You can get special lexan paint that is better to use than normal car paint as it sticks better and wont flake off when you crash it into the nearest kerb lol

 

[FATBOY]

another person looking for a willy 3 eh!!!!!!!!! good luck mate hope ya find the right one!!!!!

 

[casiodan]

Let me know if you want some stickers makin fatboy. I work in a cutting room at a sign company.

 

[FATBOY]

[FATBOY]
