This RC model is an updated release of a Tamiya classic, which was released as ‘Willys Wheeler’ back in 1983. It has returned upon a newly overhauled variant of the WR-02 chassis. It is fitted with a Honda City Turbo body, which also includes a comical driver figure.

About the WR-02C

The WR-02 chassis features a 2WD drivetrain with fully independent double wishbone suspension. The 185mm wheelbase WR-02C chassis utilises a sturdy monocoque frame which encompasses and protects the gearbox, enhanced by side members. The gear differential unit housed inside the sealed gearbox receives its power from the centreline mounted motor and passes it on to the rear wheels. A longitudinal position for the battery pack contributes to the model's optimal weight distribution to ensure that when the City Turbo accelerates in a hurry, it performs a dynamic and thrilling wheelie, cushioned by the wheelie roller bar to ensure that the car doesn't topple over. The steering servo is also positioned along the centerline of the chassis, using a 2 tie rod setup for straightforward handling. The model also features 4 wheel independent double wishbone suspension for a smooth ride. For ease of assembly, the gearbox and motor come pre assembled.
