Tamiya 57985 WR-02 1/10 Classic Chassis Set Semi-Assembled  [57985]

Overview of the WR-02 Chassis Platform

The WR-02 chassis is a respected platform among RC enthusiasts, offering a straightforward base for custom projects. Since its introduction in the early 2000s it has supported bodies like the Wild Willy 2 and the Volkswagen Type 2; model 57985 comes semi-assembled and is primed for fitting your preferred battery and WR-02 style body.

Design and Drive Characteristics

Designed for simplicity and resilience, the WR-02 in 1/10 scale uses a rear-wheel 2WD configuration with a sealed gearbox and a gear differential that performs reliably on different surfaces. Direct servo steering gives accurate control for a range of driving styles.

Suspension, Tyres and On-Track Behaviour

The fully independent double wishbone suspension provides stable handling while the friction dampers and grippy rubber tyres work together to tame bumps. Large 115mm tyres combined with a wheelie bar add excitement and help manage weight transfer during aggressive starts.

Whether you are new to RC builds or prefer to refine a platform over time, the WR-02 chassis offers a solid starting point with plenty of scope for upgrades and personalisation.
