This kit comes without an, ESC, Servo, Battery, Charger, or Transmitter and will come with a painted body that may require cutting and drilling.
The Wild One is an R/C 2WD buggy assembly kit that has been a hobbyist favourite for years. This special release features a sticker set designed by Jun Watanabe's brand Blockhead Motors, which has produced stickers, apparel, and customisations of Tamiya off-road buggy models from the 1980s. Watanabe has taken part in the design of collaborative fashion, music, and skateboard projects to expand the horizons of R/C cars.
The customised polycarbonate body is pre-painted and pre-cut with a blue livery, in contrast to the red and black colour scheme of the original, and can be fitted with the included window netting, car number boards, and a dummy antenna for that quintessentially retro look. Dedicated sticker designs feature the Blockhead Motors logo among many others.
The model's durable ABS plastic box type frame and battery case is compatible with modern power sources such as Tamiya Racing Packs and LF batteries. Four-wheel independent trailing arm suspension is equipped with front and rear aluminium oil-filled shocks, and the front shock mount is also aluminium. At the rear, a gear differential provides smooth cornering housed in an enclosed gearbox, and low-friction dog bone type driveshafts feature dust boots on their joints. The silver roll bar is made from metal, along with plated wheels, suspension arms, side guards, and gearbox.
The buggy's wide and low stance, combined with its rear motor, rear-wheel-drive setup, delivers exceptional off-road performance. This configuration provides stability, agility, and maximum traction for conquering challenging terrain.
The durable box frame, moulded in ABS plastic, provides a strong and resilient foundation for the buggy. It's compatible with both Tamiya 7.2V Racing Packs and 7.4V LiPo battery packs, offering you a greater choice in power options.
Experience a smooth and controlled ride with the trailing arm suspension system. Aluminium cylinder oil filled shocks on both the front and rear axles provide exceptional damping and control, ensuring a comfortable and stable ride over rough terrain.
The stylish silver-coloured metal-plated wheels add a touch of class, while the ribbed front tyres enhance steering response and the wider hybrid oval block/spike pattern rear tyres deliver maximum traction for off-road driving.
The sealed rear gearbox, featuring metal-plated parts and a differential gear, ensures smooth and efficient cornering. This durable design protects the gears from the elements and provides reliable performance on any terrain.
The dogbone design drive shafts are built for durability, especially with the added protection of dust boots. These features ensure reliable performance and minimise maintenance, even during off-road adventures.
The Wild One Blockhead features a particularly careful attention to detail, from its licensed Blockhead Motors livery to small details like the window nets. The Wild One is sure to impress with its incredible look and style.
Feast your eyes on this customised version of the classic Wild One Off-Roader, the work of Blockhead Motors' creative driving force Jun Watanabe.
This image gives a closer look at the trailing arm front suspension, with aluminium cylinder oil dampers for a great ride.
Silver colour metal-plated wheels give a stylish accent, and at the front they are paired with ribbed tyres for excellent directionality.
Metal-plated parts are also used for the sealed rear gearbox, which contains a differential gear to give smooth cornering.
Note the metal-plated arm on the rear trailing arm suspension setup, with aluminium cylinder oil dampers just like on the front.
Dog bone design drive shafts are highly durable, particularly with dust boots attached to offer extra protection when going off-road.
Wider rear wheels are also metal-plated components, and are shod with hybrid oval block/spike pattern tyres to ensure great grip.
Window nets are a nice touch, bringing to mind a full-size racer. The polycarbonate driver figure also comes pre-painted.
Car number boards at the rear are finished with a base yellow sticker and then your desired number stickers on top.
