Tamiya 58242 - Wild Willy 2 1/10 WR-02 Retro RC Truck Kit  [58242]

Tamiya Wild Willy 2: Classic 80s Character, Modern Mechanics

Bringing back a fan favourite from the 1980s, the Tamiya Wild Willy 2 captures the playful attitude of the original while receiving modern engineering updates. Built for hobbyists who enjoy both display and backyard action, this kit blends nostalgia with practical performance and straightforward assembly.

WR-02 Chassis That Stands Up to Rough Tracks

The WR-02 chassis underpins the Wild Willy 2, providing a stable, wider stance and durable ABS monocoque construction. With larger tyres and a 2WD layout, it balances traction and simplicity, making it a reliable platform for bumpy trails and curb assaults alike.

Wheelies and Controlled Pop-Ups

The Wild Willy 2 is designed to show off wheelies thanks to the dedicated wheelie bar and tuned gearing. Paired with a standard 540 electric motor and an 18.3:1 low gear ratio, the truck can lift the front end on demand, offering entertaining runs at events or casual meetups.

Retro Looks with Practical Grip

This kit keeps the original silhouette with a styrene body finished in military green, chrome-style wheels and V-Lug tyres for improved bite. The styling appeals to collectors while the tyre pattern and wheel choice give practical traction across mixed surfaces.

The Tamiya Wild Willy 2 is a solid pick for modders and retro fans who want an easy-to-assemble truck that still delivers lively wheelie action and rugged looks.
