Tamiya SW01 Willy

Post by GoMachV »

I grabbed a SW01 at a good price a while back and immediately put the clear chassis and yellow gears in it. It's a pretty ugly rig. The lunchbox version is a little better but still just not right.

It's been busy here but I finally had time to print the last couple pieces and get them installed. Now I can sit this aside and concentrate more on other important things.

I found someone that had shrunk a willy body to fit it, and after looking over the files decided to redraw it. I ended up changing almost everything. I made a new upper chassis in more of a willy shape and that allowed me to move things around, which let me add the floorboard and seat back in the body. I made the new wheels to accept cheap monster truck tires and then created the centers to snap over the 4mm nuts that hold the wheels on. I have the driver scan and it's partially modified to fit but I need to find someone that is good with the mesh models to stitch it up and clean up some of the features. Apart from that I'm going to call it done. It's not perfect at all, but it's entirely printed in color with no paint.

It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas
