About The Wild One
Scale Clear Body
The polycarbonate clear body is designed to protect the inside of the chassis from dirt and debris while also giving you a realistic off-road buggy body. Included pod lights and roll cage also increase the buggy feel. Being a clear body gives you a blank canvas to create your own custom styling
ABS Chassis
Tamiya has thoughtfully upgraded the Wild One to ensure it aligns with the expectations of modern users while preserving its beloved characteristics. The durable lightweight ABS frame, demonstrates a seamless fusion of vintage aesthetics with modern functionality. Enhanced performance and durability are achieved through a 4-wheel independent suspension equipped with aluminum oil dampers, aluminum trailing arms, and a wide tread for superior off-road stability. This beloved buggy, with its ribbed front tires for precise control and block tread pattern on the rear tires for high grip, promises an exhilarating off-road experience.

What a great old retro kit. Typical Tamiya quality and ease of assembly. Its design is absolutely from the 80s, but if you want to do a throw back build for cruising around and don’t care about ultimate performance. This is a great kit. The body is clear Lexan, so get creative with the colors, you can have a lot of fun with this one.
As always a great Tamiya kit looks great in my collection
I’ve been Rc ing since the 80’smy first Rc was the Nissan extra cab and my brothers was the Ivan Stewart Toyota tamiya makes great Rc the wild one is a classic ???
All three reviewers are verified owners who rate the Tamiya Wild One 1/10 Off-Road 2WD Buggy Kit 5/5. Reviewers consistently describe Tamiya build quality and ease of assembly, and they note the kit's retro, 1980s styling. One reviewer highlights the clear Lexan body as a way to add custom colour. Reviewers present the kit as suited to a throwback build for casual cruising rather than maximum performance. The reviews do not mention drive performance, durability, or specific problems, so the picture is limited to three positive, short reviews.
- + Typical Tamiya build quality
- + Easy assembly
- + Retro 1980s styling
- + Clear Lexan body for custom painting
