Your best of talking to Mark stug85 he has turned a 1/6 willy jeep into full Rc I've had a go with it and it works great! I think he used rock crawler axels give him a pm I'm sure he can help! 

I love the smell of napalm in the morning!

Hi mate I've recently bought a RC converted Dragon Kubelwagen . The original owner used a Tamiya Gravel hound for the components . It runs very well . I have the Schwimwagen to do myself
