Designed as a faithful nod to the 1980s original, the Tamiya Wild Willy 2 mixes period styling with a contemporary WR-02 platform. It is ideal for modders who want a truck that looks the part and delivers entertaining performance on grass, gravel and pavement.
The WR-02 platform gives the Wild Willy 2 a robust foundation with ABS monocoque construction and a wider track for improved stability. Its 2WD setup keeps the drivetrain simple while the larger tyres help the truck tackle uneven ground with confidence.
Wheelie runs are a highlight thanks to the fitted wheelie bar and the low 18.3:1 gearing matched to a Type 540 motor. This combination produces predictable front-end lift that is fun to control during club meets or casual sessions.
The kit stays true to its roots with a military green styrene shell, V-Lug tyres and chrome-style rims. Those elements not only recreate the vintage look but also contribute to traction and handling across a variety of surfaces.
For builders who favour nostalgic styling and simple mechanicals, the Wild Willy 2 offers a satisfying mix of collectability and usable fun on the track.
