I brought this blockhead and man it’s awesome! I did paint my chassis blue to match and super pleased I did

The wild one blockhead is the first tamiya kit I’ve bought in 33 years!!! Huge tamiya fan just from nostalgia - used to play with/ all old one grasshopper, frog, blackfoot, wild one, hot shot etc… but never actually bought one since until now (mostly buying associated and other brands). If Kyosho releases the turbo optima mid that will be my first kyosho in 33 years!! waiting on that one.

thanks for your comment. Well good choice with he Wild One Blockhead Motors buggy. Its a great looking buggy. I'm really looking forward to getting this out for some fun. I believe Kyosho will be rereleasing the Optima Mid, not the Turbo... Regardless, I'm excited for that one too... I really wish team associated would rerelease something.... Maybe the RC10t...

Just unboxed mine from the mid 80's this was the car that made me competitive, prior I raced a hornet. Total different cars for local off road track. The RC20's were the king of the track, but I was a poor lawn mowing kid so went Tamiya. Loved that car.

The best part is the advice about the fingers haha! Great pointers and I really enjoyed watching this-I can definitely tell you're excited and it's making me excited about it as well! I feel the same about the wing decals, still torn if I should hide it or not. Oh well.

Hi. Like the look of that buggy. Reminds me of the old VW buggy's back in the day. I'm thinking about getting my first Tamiya kit to race as a beginner at the local of road track . Just for fun. I'm thinking of getting the dt 03 neo fighter .What do you think? Hay also saw the pic. of the gold pan be hied you . That was my first R/C car . if i knew what I know now , then I would still have it!

When it comes to stickers I still use the soapy water trick.
@RCRetro 2 жыл бұрын
I've been meaning to try that. What do you use, a spray bottle with soapy water? Dove or Palmolive? Then, spray the back of the sticker and apply.. then position it and hit it with a heat gun?
@trevorfurlotte 2 жыл бұрын
@@RCRetro soapy water in a plate. Any dish soap. Dip the decal under the water, apply, move into position, push our the water and wipe with paper towel.

One thing I found is that the bearing fit in the counter gear is poor - the bearings actually swim in their bores instead of it being a light press fit. The end result is a poor running and binding gearbox. Any similar experience?
@RCRetro 9 ай бұрын
I have not ran mine. I have not heard anyone mention this issue in the RC community. I hope that you able to fix the issue and get it running smoothly.
@bigbattenberg 9 ай бұрын
@@RCRetro I bought two additional gear sets as spares and to complete my old Wild One. They have the same problem. Because I saw no decent way to fix it I decided to run it as is and so far it seems to run fine with no obvious noise or anything. The original gear sets did have the proper fit though, it is obvious that this is a quality issue. It's easy to spot because the bearings will obviously fall out of the bores when the gear is lifted but I can imagine not too many people will pay serious attention to this during the build.

The elf gave me a wild one original I also wish I had this one even though they're not making replacement parts of this so if you have to replace parts of that you have to use some of them from the original and chrome plate them in some way with paint.
