Iconic Retro RC Buggy Re-release!

The Tamiya Wild One Off-Roader Blockhead Motors 1/10 Buggy Kit Wild One is a long time favorite of builders and collectors. This specific Wild release is special - as the decals have been designed by Jun Watanabe’s brand "BLOCKHEAD MOTORS''. Blockhead Motors has produced stickers, apparel, and customizations of Tamiya off road buggy models from the 1980s. Watanabe has collaborated in the design of fashion, music, and skateboard projects to help further expand the horizon of R/C cars, making this kit a fun addition to any collection.

About The Wild One


Scale Painted Body

The body for this Wild One comes pre-cut and pre-painted in light blue. The included driver sits inside the the roll cage. The decals and exterior light pods add to the overall appearance while staying true to the original Wild One.

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.

Tamiya Wild One Off-Roader Blockhead Motors 1/10 Off-Road 2WD Buggy Kit
Love the looks of this kit . It was super easy to build. I've been wanting this for quite sometime. The only thing I found a little disappointing it the steering linkage very subpar,but is a rerelease of a 1980's kit. Looks great and this is going to be a shelf queen .

Tamiya Wild One Off-Roader Blockhead Motors 1/10 Off-Road 2WD Buggy Kit
Great Car to build had alot of metal parts and aluminum shocks. Real Nice build!
Amain got it to me quick as always! I started buying from them because they are soley in the RC Racing industry
and i retired from it. I raced RC Cars for 15 years at Golfland USA in owensboro Kentucky, they closed down and i
thought retirement was the best option for me. I do miss racing but i soley wanna focus on bashers now.

Eye Turner and a half. This is my favorite kit of 2021. Perfectly captures the spirit of the original with an amazing twist and upgraded parts. The included motor is not great so I chose the Tamiya GT which looks great with it.
