Chrome chassis......No ! Just spray on it with special paint ! Look better than original chassis 's colour ! I also spray the body with metallic red, but could not be seen on the pics !
Not a shame at all !
You are too good to be, cause you could keep your buggies till now,
I could not keep them ( my past buggies ), 95 % of my collections was bought in 4 years !
actually can't said i'm a retro RC collector.......because i'm just got a few no. of old model.....comparing to the expert like u......what's a shame!!!
I've got a used wild willy since 10+ years ago, i've started to restore it few months ago......around 70% finish....maybe post it a bit later la!!!
actually I am located in california. However, I go to taiwan alot for business. So, I go to get model supply there. The plate silver from gunze is not cheap but by far the best chrome type paint I have ever used. It doesnt come flacky like the other chrome paint. It just needs one heavy coat and it looks AWESOME. Use air brush to put it on. I use it for some of my other model projects. I am pretty sure you can find in hk. HK is like model and toy heaven also for me. however, I rarely go into HK. I am not too familiar with the shops there though....
I remember that one of the selling point for this buggy is its light weight, is it something around 1090g? My friend had this buggy 20 years ago!!!! This buggy can enjoy a long run time even with those 1200mAh NiCD battery because it's light weight.
