Art & Inspiration 1/6 scale r/c car 41 Willys 54 Chevy 36 Ford

All those Revell 1/6 scale engines are re-boxed Liberty Classics.... It even sez so on the bottom of the base..

 

I'm looking for a willys body 1/10 scale for a gasser RC build do you know of one?
J

 

Not in 1/10 scale.... Sorry.

 

There is two i can think of but it's a clear body that you have to cut and paint and they are kind of lame.

Thanks fro the lead man! I agree they are not that crisp looking! hmmmmm?

 

No problem man...From what I have heard they're a bitch to cut out and paint, you have to paint them from the inside. Some of them have clear plastic on the windows so that you can paint the inside and peel it off and your windows are clear. Other one's you have to mask the windows off your self and im sure that isn't easy.

 

I would try and get one of these 1/6 scale Willys and build a custom frame for it. You could probably build a straight axel front end for it and put some fast nitro engine in it....The possibility's are endless it just depends on how much work you want to do. There is a Willys on ebay right nowif anyone is interested.

So when are you going to start working on your Willys?

 

Whenever I get off my dead ass and start doing something...

 

Ha ha ha, I know how that goes. I'm always jumping from car to car, It's hard for me to finish one thing at a time.

 

I'm always on here, that's why... I have close to XXX kits and I haven't started one yet..

 

I just scored a brand new in the box wwc 36 Ford for $100. I went Christmas shopping and stopped buy this hole in the wall antique shop in seattle and there it was. Box is a little kicked up but It is definetly new.

 

Cool!

 

There is a 1/10 41 Willy's body available but its made for the bigger scale R/C cars.
I had a 41 Willy's body on my old 'Frog' R/C Buggy, only problem is its kinda ugly as it's proportions are way out!
Ask at a shop that specialise in the big $$ R/C cars, I also had a 34 coupe and a 32 coupe.
But if you have to have a HotRod in 1/10, like I had to, thats about the best you can do.

Doc.

 

I have a '33 Willys RC car body. I don't know what scale that would be. If anyone's interested in buying it, I can dig it out and get a pic tomorrow. I sold the chassis I was going to use under it so I don't need it anymore.

 

I painted the wheels and painted the dash last night. Should I leave the dash shinny red or should I through a little rust on it?

 

Here soon this guys want's me to paint his WCC Chevy for him. He's buying it brand new and shipping it to me. I'm going to paint it garnet and gold and clear it. It will be interesting to see how it come's out. I will post pictures when I get it it.

 

If anyone would be interested I will build and sell the brand new 36 Ford. You tell me the colors you want it and if you want writing on the sides of the car or any other customization's you want...If interested send me a pm

 

Very Cool, really dig the patina look. PM sent.

 

Do you have any 50 or 51 Mercs? Would be interested in buying, if available.

 

i have a few jesse james 54 chevy cars r/c cars like you have in your pics...are they worth anything?

 

Yes they are, on ebay. But ebay and paypal also take alot of money out. I bet someone that read's this forum would want them.

 

Here are some WCC r/c cars on ebay. If anyone is interested.

If anyone is interested there is three Chevy's and one Ford on ebay now

 

I just scored a new in the box WCC 54 Chevy from eBay. Supposed to have scored on a new Willys, but the seller is in vacation and plans to contact me when he returnes.

 

Are the WCC Jesse James' cars diecast, or plastic? I notice a big difference in price from a car that is new in the box, or used.

Did they also make a Merc in this scale? I have only seen the Chevy & Ford.

 

Check out this FED that is on eBay right now. It is a static model, but crazy detail on this scratch built one of a kind dragster.

The r/c car's are 99.9% plastic, The only r/c cars made in 1/6 scale are the Willys, Chevy and Ford. I don't think that there is any Merc rc car.

 

Also the price difference in price is because these r/c cars had alot of problems and just like anything that is mib is worth more.
