The Tamiya 58695 Wild One Off-Roader updates a classic 1980s silhouette with a new Blockhead Motors paint scheme by Jun Watanabe. The result is a faithful recreation that appeals to enthusiasts who value authentic styling and solid construction.
Produced at 1/10 scale, the Wild One measures 425mm in length, 140mm in height and 225mm in width, with a wheelbase of 255mm. The ABS box-type chassis offers a durable platform while keeping weight down, and the battery bay is compatible with modern choices such as Tamiya Racing Packs and LF batteries. The 2WD configuration uses fully independent double wishbone suspension for steady behaviour across rough terrain.
The closed gearbox contains differential gears to aid cornering, and dog bone-type driveshafts fitted with dust covers boost reliability. A 540-type brushed motor is included; builders should supply a 2-channel radio, steering servo, ESC and a 7.2-7.4V battery plus charger to finish the car.
This special edition features a pre-painted, pre-cut light blue polycarbonate body with Blockhead Motors decals. Metal-plated fittings, window nets, number plates and a dummy antenna enhance the period-correct presentation and make the model suitable for display as well as running.
The Tamiya 58695 Wild One Off-Roader is a great option for collectors and drivers who want a true-to-era look paired with a practical, serviceable chassis for regular use.
