Tamiya Wild One Max is a name known to children of the eighties, to millennials like me who, thanks to a company best known for their Mini 4WDsmall electric cars to build and customize, made famous by the animated series, spent their childhood in literally create your own passion for cars.
Tamiya Wild it was a 1/10 scale model equipped with a miniature motor, servos and radio controls that 1985 was launched into commercial operation, becoming one of the bestsellers. Then 58050, the code for the original Wild One, was joined by 58525 from 2012, a reissue of the eighties model.
Today debuts the Tamiya Wild One MAX, created by The Little Car Company (same as the Bugatty Baby) in collaboration with Tamiya and based specifically on a radio-controlled buggy that traveled off-road, controlled by radio control of young and old. . This time it is a full-size model, a real 3.6 meter electric car for “adult children” who will debut on the market in 2024 and will initially be distributed in a pre-built version, however it is expected that a bundle may appear.
The first version will already be equipped with a “road package” that will allow the car to be driven on public roads in the UK and Europe and will be produced in a limited edition of 100 units.
Equipped with Cobra seats with 4-point harnesses, 5-inch marine weather screen, Brembo discs, Bilstein shocks and Eibach springs. Maxxis Bighorns off-road tires on 14-inch wheels are the tires for him.
Designed for off-road and fun, the buggy is powered by removable battery 14.4 kWh and I reach 96.5 km/h top speed (we don’t know the power and torque of the engine yet), but the weight will be light, around 500kg. It is rear-mounted and, being a buggy for all intents and purposes, will offer us 27cm of ground clearance and typical off-road angles of 34.1° (attack angle), 28.4° (lift-off angle) and 50.8° (lift-off angle). exit angle).
We’ll have to wait to get our hands on it, but those who book it (£100) can choose whether to equip it with a kit to make it legal or not, making it fall into the L7e ATV category in the first place. happening. The final price has not yet been determined: at the beginning of the project, The Little Car Company talked about 7,000 euros (excluding taxes), but this version of the project differed from the model announced today, which takes a step forward in terms of habitability. and performance.
However, if you’re not interested in the 1/1 scale version, you can be a kid again with the Wild One OR (58695):
