Iconic Wild Willy 2 Returns with Metallic Accents

The Tamiya Wild Willy 2 captures the spirit of its original release while using a practical chassis layout suited to hobbyists. The WR-02 platform integrates a pre-assembled gearbox inside a reinforced monocoque frame to reduce complexity and keep the model robust for display or driving.

Layout and Handling Tailored for Thrills

Rear-biased battery placement helps the Wild Willy 2 pop into wheelies, and the central steering servo with matched tie rods produces accurate steering inputs. Combined with independent suspension and chunky tyres, the truck maintains confidence across a range of surfaces.

Detailed Bodywork with Display Appeal

Made from reinforced ABS resin, the bodywork highlights an oversized front grille and distinctive headlamp styling for a memorable silhouette. Inside, a driver figure and cockpit details add realism, and the chrome-effect parts give the kit a premium finishing touch for collectors.

  • Chassis: WR-02

Whether kept as a display piece or used for light bashing, the Tamiya Wild Willy 2 balances vintage charm with a chassis that invites modest upgrades and routine maintenance.

The kit is suitable for intermediate builders and motivated beginners; clear instructions and the pre-assembled gearbox ease the build while leaving room to learn assembly techniques.
Gearing changes are possible, but you should confirm pinion and spur compatibility and monitor motor temperatures if you alter gear ratios for higher speeds.
Reinforced ABS is resilient for display and light bashing, but repeated high-impact use may require occasional repairs or reinforcement at common stress points.
Popular upgrades include higher-torque servos, sealed bearings, and tyre swaps for better traction; always check fitment and mounting before installing parts.
