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

Wild Willy 2 from Tamiya: A Retro Icon Updated

The Wild Willy 2 returns with the charm of the original and refinements that suit modern modelling. Tamiya has kept the characterful profile while improving the mechanical base so it performs reliably during runs and display outings.

WR-02 Chassis: Tough and Predictable

The WR-02 chassis provides the Wild Willy 2 with a robust ABS monocoque construction and a wider footprint for better balance. Coupled with 2WD simplicity and independent suspension, the layout gives confidence on uneven surfaces and simple serviceability.

Accessible Wheelie Performance

Equipped with a wheelie bar and driven by a Type 540 motor with an 18.3:1 gear ratio, the Wild Willy 2 readily achieves front-end lifts. The setup is aimed at controlled, repeatable wheelies that are fun for club events and casual runs.

Period Look with Practical Components

The military green styrene body and chrome-look wheels recreate the vintage aesthetic while V-Lug tyres deliver usable grip. The combination makes the truck suitable for both collectors and hands-on hobbyists who like to run their models.

The Tamiya Wild Willy 2 suits those who appreciate a vintage silhouette but want a build that runs reliably and is enjoyable to drive.
