Fans of vintage RC will appreciate the faithful reissue of the Wild One, updated for modern builds. The Tamiya Wild One revives the memorable roll cage and working headlights from the mid 80s, offering a nostalgic project that also performs on today's tracks.
The polycarbonate body keeps weight down while resisting knocks and scrapes. A sculpted driver figure enhances cabin detail. Narrow front ribs and broader rear block treads deliver predictable traction across loose surfaces commonly found on local tracks.
The ABS frame is set up to take modern battery options including Tamiya Racing Packs and LF packs. Independent suspension with aluminium oil dampers smooths out rough terrain, and the sealed gearbox with a 3-bevel differential promotes consistent handling. Dog bone drives gives added protection against small stones and debris.
Whether you are restoring a period piece or building a fun runner, the Wild One offers a period correct appearance with easy to source parts and upgrade paths for hobbyists.
Tamiya 58525-60A combines period aesthetics and sensible modern engineering, making it attractive to modders and collectors who want a running classic.
