The Tamiya Wild Willy 2: A Legend Reborn

Reviving the spirit of the 1980s, the Tamiya Wild Willy 2 is a delightful throwback to one of the most beloved models in RC history. This modern iteration retains the playful charm of the original Wild Willy, complete with its signature wheelie antics, but now boasts an upgraded WR-02 chassis for even more rugged off-road adventures. Designed for enthusiasts who appreciate both nostalgia and performance, the Wild Willy 2 delivers excitement right out of the box.

Mastering the Terrain with the WR-02 Chassis

The WR-02 chassis is the backbone of the Wild Willy 2, offering a durable platform that is perfect for tackling rough terrains. With its wider stance and larger tires, it ensures stability while the 2WD drivetrain provides ample power to conquer uneven surfaces. The chassis is crafted from ABS monocoque, known for its strength and lightweight properties, making it a resilient choice for RC hobbyists looking to push their vehicles to the limit.

Unleashing the Wheelie King

What truly sets the Wild Willy 2 apart is its ability to perform wheelies with ease, thanks to the newly designed wheelie bar. This feature not only adds to the fun factor but also showcases Tamiya's engineering prowess. The combination of a powerful 540 electric motor and a low gear ratio of 18.3:1 ensures that the Wild Willy 2 can pop wheelies on demand, making it a hit at RC events or casual backyard races.

Classic Styling Meets Modern Performance

The Wild Willy 2 pays homage to its roots with a styrene body molded in a nostalgic military green color. This combination of classic aesthetics and modern mechanics makes it a timeless piece for collectors and enthusiasts alike. The V-Lug pattern tires and chrome wheels not only enhance its visual appeal but also improve its grip on various terrains.
