I just realized this is a wr-02 chassis and not the GF-01. I am using the GF-01. My comical is already a wr. I want to try the 4 wheel drive aspect of the GF.

Oh nice, I don't have one of those yet, 4 wheel dive should give you a bit more control thats for sure. This thing can be hard to keep in a straight line when on gravel etc.

The part is from Active Hobby. But not sure it's available anymore. Its called "Active Hobby STR287 aluminium servo mount and cover for WR02" I've got the packet and instructions in of me, but can't seem to find anything like it online anymore. Purchased way back in 2017 :(

Hi there, what a great stop motion video u have here. Liked it a lot. Wanna ask a few question, if u dont mind. I have WR-02 Wild Willy (bought cheap in local RC shop) and a Metal Dump Truck Gf-01 (bought from RCMart - cheapest ever) and I've been searching though the internet but cant seem to find a Lipo that fits the WR-02 chassis. Did u mod the chassis? Or u found a Lipo that fits the wr02 chassis? Could u give me a link on where to buy them. Im not worried about the Gf-01 chassis. I think most hard case lipos could fit the gf01. Just the Wr-02. Hope to hear from you. Thanks dude.

[@rcshed4495]

Hey, Thanks! No i've left the chassis battery holder stock, I went for some 3s 11.1V Turnigy Nano Tech 2200 mah, 35-70 Discharge batteries. they are 105mm long x 24mm x 35mm and fit in the WR02 chassis fine :) might be some better options out there, but thats working for me at the moment.
