this is my awesome tamiya wild one, it was released in 1985 and still runs like ice-cream on a sunny day.
one of my dad's friends found it at the tip and i am restoring, modding and re building it.
with the slicks at the back are so soft that they balloon when the throttle is at about 1.5 quarters full but they are not the original tires
i put leds in the spot lights and it now has a super stock rz
saving up to get a re-release fav to finish this.
a couple of days ago, o had a bad crash and killed a rear trailing arm


it is the best rc car ever

here is a list of custom parts:
working spotlights with LEDs
team losi front wheels with nikko hardtrax tires
2.4GHZ transmitter hobby king with lrp esc
meccano battery cover
meccano electronics holder
new steering servo
meccano nokia e71 filming mount
(temporarily)slicks at the back for doing drifts and burnouts

really cheap rc monter truck wheel on the roll cage for added coolness moved it because of the new aluminium roof
