The Tamiya Wild Willy 2 revives a classic silhouette with upgrades that suit modern hobbyists. It keeps the cheeky personality of the original while improving robustness and handling so it works well for casual bashing and light circuit use.
At the heart of the model is the WR-02 chassis, built from ABS monocoque for a good strength-to-weight balance. The chassis geometry, wider track and larger tyres help the truck stay composed over stones and rough driveways while the 2WD gearbox keeps maintenance simple.
Thanks to the wheelie bar and the low 18.3:1 gear ratio paired with a 540 electric motor, the Wild Willy 2 is engineered to deliver accessible wheelies. The setup focuses on fun and predictable behaviour rather than raw top speed.
The model uses a military green styrene body, V-Lug tyres and chrome-look wheels to echo the original era. These components give a classic presentation while the tyre tread helps with traction on mixed surfaces.
The Wild Willy 2 is a good match for enthusiasts who want an easy build with classic looks and playful handling characteristics.
