[@fredtedstedman]

lovin' the blue , ther's enough green one s out there !!!! Painting is part of the appeal of owning a Willie . Enjoy it .

[@frankiehernandez9465]

Two thumbs up for Harry & his wife. Mr. K your paint job came out awesome & Harry knocked it out of the park with the detail on the figure.

[@tallguygaming409]

thanks buddy

[@vigilante351]

Hahha...painting was def the highlight of the build. Love the colour!

[@tallguygaming409]

was that because it was the only part i was in haha

[@lama3332]

Awesome job on the body. The white wheels look way better

[@tallguygaming409]

ehh i like the grey but everyone has diff taste

[@RCRetro]

I was going for white but I said, “what the heck” and glad I did. Gray turned out better than expected. Would have looked cool with white too.

[@mikeymike3240]

Evil Kinevil comes to mind when I look 👀 at your driver, but in a niiiiiiiiiiice way, the jeep is the bomb 💣🔥🔥🔥

[@tallguygaming409]

haha i need a evil paint job soon

[@ianrosalia2499]

Great job on the body! Nice color choice, and Harry did an outstanding job on the driver. 👍

[@MrNitro468]

Absolutely badass! Has to be the nicest Wild Willys ever assembled!

[@tallguygaming409]

ill expect my award in the mail soon haha

[@RCRetro]

Thanks. I have to agree. Just love the way it turned out.

[@milosrcernycerny5537]

Good job. No wonder Willy came out so nicely. Harry definitely paints CJ makeup. Like training, of course. 😂

[@tallguygaming409]

haha no she does her own makeup

[@RCRetro]

@@tallguygaming409 stop being so modest…. It’s ok to let everyone know that you’re a makeup artist.

[@tallguygaming409]

Im just an artist

[@bwjones8903]

The colors looks great! Non-plated rims are definitely the way to go with this kit. Well done. Thanks for all the fun content.

[@tallguygaming409]

painted rims for the win

[@RCRetro]

Glad I listed to CJ and went with gray for the wheels

[@catcourtney01]

That thing is Ace!!!! Great job, Guys.

[@tallguygaming409]

thanks man

[@justinhaynes1085]

It really pops in a good way. Awesome. I have glass eyes to put in my driver

[@tallguygaming409]

[@kristofferrydquist8384]

Great paint job and the colors really pop 🎉

[@powersmodelgarage]

Looks great! Love that blue

[@tallguygaming409]

yeah that blue is nice

[@RCKickschannel]

It came out fantastic, nice work and I agree, the driver is much better.

[@tallguygaming409]

i mean come on i painted it 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@RCRetro]

Thanks. Harry did a great job.

[@n22pdf]

Looks awesome man well done 👍

[@tallguygaming409]

👍👍

[@RCRetro]

Thanks. It’s going to look even cooler on the track. Stay tuned

[@ericwood2790]

I like the color of the jeep , but Harry knocked it out of the park with the driver. That’s the best I’ve ever seen a Wild Willy driver look.

[@RCRetro]

Yeah he did a great job. Have to give the guy credit. 👍🏻

[@tallguygaming409]

i also painted the headlights but didnt get credit for that haha

[@RCRoads]

I'm so glad I found this video. It's certainly helpful and gives us a good insight about the build. This will be my first build and I think the paint will cost more than the car. idk ? You did such a great job and the driver looks awesome. ❤🏆

[@richardwright7648]

I’ve never really liked the Wild Willy but that looks awesome! Nice work 👍🏼

[@hellofromsoutheastalaskarc7517]

Hello from southeast alaska like the video bro

[@RCRetro]

Thanks. How do you think it turned out?

[@martinhsrc6699]

Looks awesome 😎

[@theoagrc]

Looks amazing! Love the way this has turned out bud 😎

[@RCRetro]

Thanks for the comment and support

[@jasonmur2920]

AWESOME!!!

[@yellomello71]

Your Willy looks great (Excuse this old and stale joke). The color scheme in combination with this gorgeous painted figure is outstanding. In my opinion the Wild Willy body is more like a static model than a RC car. Especially when you go futher and fill out the spare can, the extinquisher and maybe the whole roll cage. If you had not enough at this point you can cut out the front grill, lower the body and order tons of blingbling for this kit. I wanted to build mine as a fun basher and it ended up as a shelf queen with what felt like a year to build and hop ups worth a month's wages.

[@RCRetro]

Exactly… I thought I would bang this out in a weeks time but that def was not the case.

[@alexwenzel6932]

Awesome job on the paint job on Willy. And GW looks amazing! 👌

[@chrissoquet9146]

Love it

[@roberttierney9284]

Put to the test at Port Royal!!!

[@tallguygaming409]

oh we will

[@RCRetro]

It’s going… stay tuned

[@alexwenzel6932]

Love the body color and that driver it's awesome! 1776!

[@foxracerdrew]

hmmm, wondered what the difference between the original and the 2nd, as I figured it's basically just removing the 2nd servo and mechanical speed controller mount, maybe a tweak here and there. I had the original waaaaaay back as a kid and was pretty much a first (and only) basher for me. Had many great runs with it, aside from killing the servos keep driving through puddles.

[@tallguygaming409]

new one is just a comical chassis and same body i believe

[@foxracerdrew]

@@tallguygaming409 which is just the original willy chassis with the 2nd servo mounting position and pushrod esc mount removed.

[@RCRetro]

Thanks for the comment and memory. To answer your question, the OG Wild Willy and Willy 2 are completely different chassis. However, both are designed with one thing in mind...to pop wheelies when you hit the throttle.

[@tallguygaming409]

The first wild willy chassis is closer to a lunch box chassis then it is to the new comical chassis. They are nothing alike

[@j0hnnykn0xv1lle]

The only thing I'd change is the jerry can, I'd maybe go, red, rubber black, white, or gray to match the wheels. Green is OK, but you've got no other green on the Willy and you veered off the box theme. It just looks a little out of place. You could maybe paint the jerry can in a similar theme to the driver.

[@tallguygaming409]

i agree but he didnt want me to paint it for some reason. i woulda went red myself

[@davescommonplacebook9374]

Well, this IS awesome, but I don't see a single pineapple. Three stars.

[@tallguygaming409]

3 stars out of a 2 star rating is really high thank you haha. also send money in forms of pineapples please

[@RCRetro]

Love me some pineapple 🍍

[@wadeskelton7585]

Can’t beat how this Willy turned out - that blue is the shit!!! I thought you guys were going for super Dave Osborn for the driver 😄

[@tallguygaming409]

hmmmm thats a good idea

[@jamesclark9502]

Looks good, the driver really suits the colour scheme and the painting up is amazing (and thats coming from the right side of the Atlantic 😂) Maybe try and get a decal for the centre of the spare wheel cover? Someone with a vinyl cutter could run you off an RC Retro logo, for instance?

[@tallguygaming409]

we tryd to get a decal done but i didnt like the way it lookd and ari agreed so we didnt put it on.

[@RCRetro]

We had a cool idea for the back tire but the sticker didn’t look the way we thought it would.

[@joerutkowsky3261]

Hi there. Love your videos. Just wondering, did Harry ever do anything with the traxxas hawk? Or did I miss that episode. Would love to see it out on the track.

[@tallguygaming409]

i sold it to phil and painted him a body. not sure if he will ever race it thou cause its fragile.

[@RCRetro]

Where is Harry? Not 1st...

[@tallguygaming409]

sleeping it wasnt out at 1am b4 i went to sleep

[@tallguygaming409]

[@Mr1stlevel]
