Tamiya 57985 WR-02 1/10 Off-Road Chassis Kit Semi-Assembled  [57985]

Making the Most of the WR-02 Chassis

Hobbyists who enjoy custom projects will appreciate the WR-02 chassis as a reliable, adaptable platform. Since its early 2000s debut, the chassis has been fitted under models like Wild Willy 2 and the Type 2 Bus; the 57985 set arrives semi-built so you can focus on electronics and styling choices.

Mechanical Highlights of the WR-02

The WR-02 combines simple serviceability with sturdy components. Its 1/10 scale RWD 2WD layout contains a sealed gearbox and robust gear differential, providing predictable traction across grass, gravel and hardpack. Direct servo steering improves turn-in and response.

Components That Shape the Drive

Independent double wishbone suspension gives stability and balance while plastic friction dampers absorb lighter impacts. The combination of 115mm high-grip tyres and a built-in wheelie bar encourages playful driving alongside practical trail use.

The WR-02 is a good match for builders who want a straightforward chassis that takes upgrades without major surgery. It balances ease of use with options for improved performance over time.
