My Wild Willy

[bimmerman]

This is my Tamiya Wild Willy II. Released in 1999 it's a re-release of Tamiya's Wild Willy from 1982. What is it? Well it's a 1/10 scale remote control Willys M38 Jeep from world war 1 that does not qualify as a buggy nor a monster truck. It's a unique little RC car that does willies when your nail the accelerator!It's serious fun! and it's just sooooo cute!!

Customise it with aluminium hydraulic shocks like I did and watch it handle!

Cool...look at those shockers and absorber bumper. Reminds me of the good old Nissan Sunny Absorber Bumpers. Except taht the Wild Willy looks really WILD.

Go get in the Tamiya shop at 1 Utama new wing basement 2. I got mine a long time ago but I think it's going for RM799 these days. Complete with remote controller. BUY! BUY! BUY!!!

We can organise a Wild Willy race!!!

You think my Wild Willy II is nice? Well it's just ori with some added bits here and there. There's so much more you can do!!! Aluminium suspension parts. 45,000RPM engine, custom paintjob... Limited by your imagination only.

Yeah! I had a 130Y too. Actually my Sunny 130Y and my Wild Willy 1 were both 1983 models!!! But I sold the Sunny in 1993 and lost my Willy Willy 1 when I moved house

On your left is the Wild Willy II (1999) and on your right is the Wild Willy I (1983). Can you spot the differences?

Note: These are not my pictures nor my Willies. The owner of these pictures and Willies is from Europe and a member of the Tamiya Club.
