The Wild One is just a great looking buggy, I need one for that alone. How about doing a video tour of your RC collection, you must have plenty to look at.

Always loved the look of this rc nice one Mark 👍 thanks for your upload mate 🙏🙏🙏

I’m so glad the Wild One is back it looks a wicked buggy. Got one on order 👍

Hiya matey. Great intro! Be great to play us out with a tune too 😁 Anyway great review. I think that Tamiya are taking the Mick a bit with the price of the Blockhead version. It has got side netting which is well worth £50! I think the thing to do with that is to buy it and leave it boxed for 10 years. Anyway I'm pretty pleased with my rere FAV with the shocks. Cheers for the mention. The visible wire thing on RC's always annoys me. Nice Fast Show reference at the end too 😁 Top work mate. Cheers for now 😀

'I, I, I, I, I'm not your steppin' stone' Well mate that brings back a lot of memories in the practice studio on a Monday night. Oh yeah great overview of the pros and cons hehe. It is a great little buggy even with those virtually slick front tyres. Later dude.

Nice, solid review Mark! I agree, the look of this buggy perfectly captures the old beach buggy look from yesteryear! Bonus points for the intro!👍😊

Thanks for the review Mark. Nice looking buggy the Wild One. I really like the look of it but the price point creeps closer to some other interesting chassis on my list! Thought the intro was excellent! Keep up the great videos

Good day Mark! Good intro! Yeah, the smile on the face is a good thing 🙂 Great to see the hobby house with the cars in the back ground. What was the last remark about? Think there is a joke that I missed out on 😊 Anyways, top job with the overview and review. Wish my FAV was a Wild One - even with the oil leaking, the FRP rubbing and the lexan flapping 😊

Nice review Mark I really like the looks of the buggy really one of the cooler looking buggies

Beautiful car, I have a couple of other kits to build, but I have to get myself a wild one soon as I'm done with those. it was one that I wanted as a kid. The picture they had in the tamiya guide book of it driving in the dirt was just so realistic looking.

Liking the guitar Mark. Good review as well think you covered all the pro’s and cons there. Being eyeing up a wild one for a while now, but once the Jun Watanabe one was announced I’ve pre ordered that , looks super to me. Great video as ever take care

I don't have a Wild One but have two fast attacks and love em they work and handle so well with the battery so low in the chassis. Nice Video Mark your correct they look so nice it's one of the ones I am always drawn to in my collection also. Did you ever see my stop shock leaking video ware you get or make your own small washer and it compresses the O rings just a bit more it works like a charm on a lot of the shocks I did it on. 😜O you also get the fancy rear # plates on the blockhead motors version LOL!

I love the Wild One. Not sure what it is that appeals to me. I guess it’s authenticity is the hook. 👍🤓🇦🇺

Oh and Fast Show, love it! 🤣

Hi Mark, looking good my friend. Great review of the Wild One. I’m on the hunt for a 2WD Tamiya for when I’m in recovery mode in September. I’ve got to have an umbilical hernia repair and gallbladder removal performed! Got a season ticket for hospitals! Anyway, have looked at the Blitzer Beetle, but Tamiya stocks are low. I’ll take a look at the Wild One once more, but again Tamiya stocks are low, it’s crazy! As always great video content, guitars at the start and that elusive ending, great stuff! Loved the pros and cons of the kit, but in the end, fun factor always wins! That’s what we do this for. Take care, all the best my friend 👌😉

Loved the intro Mark! 🎸 Your RC hobby room is really cool! The Wild One buggy looks brand new even though you’ve put it through some rigorous driving! All your cars look fantastic!🏆🆙👏👏👏🤗

Great video on the Wild One. A great looking buggy. I've wanted this car from it's original release. I have never owned one but as you said, it's gonna be rereleased so who knows. If it puts a smile on your face, it's a result. Thanks for the updates and the detailed video! Thumbs up!!

Great buggy! Everything about the rere is exactly the same except for the shocks, drive shafts and battery cut out ! Tamiya did it right for the rere! You get exactly how it was 1st released!

Hi Mark, great video! Love mine & was a steal at £140 when picked it up in 2018. Really fun to drive & such a same about the higher pricing now... Hope you all doing well :-) Ben

She's a beautiful piece of Kit Mark 😍 loved hearing all the information about this machine ❤ fantastic intro to 🎸🥰 loved all this Video brother 👍😎😍👍

With superb design, excellent craftsmanship, top-notch engineering and stunning good looks, I can honestly say I am a big fan of the Fender Stratocaster...😂 - I bet you walked straight into that one didn't you Mate..🤣 ? Couldn't resist that one. But hey don't be apologising for that intro, it was cool - and a left hand player too. Excellent stuff. Yeah, you make some good points about this buggy. I'm glad you mentioned about the unsightly, exposed battery connector as I've mentioned that before to you. Also the fact that Tamiya don't add bearings to their kits as standard is just ridiculous - I bet these days they come as standard on Chinese RTR's. But ultimately this one is a real looker of a buggy and based on your previous run videos, a total hoot to drive. Yeah things will occasionally go wrong, but that's RC for you. Great review mate and good to catch you midweek too...👍🏻👍🏻.

Excellent review mate, nice to see the giant man cave in the background, guitar intro most welcome 👍

I thought I clicked on level 42 😂🤣 love these classic r/c great video 👍😃

Just finished building my wild one and it was a great build.The battery wire can be pushed through the bottom of buggy to connect with a nimh battery so you wont have the wire sticking out of side.I cant run it yet because it been raining a lot here in northern ireland but looking forward to it.Great review as well.

Good review. I have a 1984 original FAV unpainted only missing the drivers left arm. Still had gun and original gun spring. Going to restore it and paint it up with MCI decals. Since i do not have this car i might get the blockhead motors car.

Thanks Mark. Great honest review. Cheers!

nice intro mark! should do more, why not? edit: and great review!

Great vid mate and great intro stay safe 👍

Awesome review my brother, Love the intro also. November is my birth month, not sure if i'll get one, i want one but the holidays are the following month. We shall see..... Pete had a good idea about the hole & rerunning the wire inside. Great video mate, Keep them coming!!!!! OMG, that ending, classic!!!!

Yup, when you saw this one and a few others. There was no mistaken that they were a Tamiya. THIS is certainly one of 'em. Some interesting points about this rig. like the battery tray. That was an interesting choice. I can obviously see that being a problem. not sure why the engineers didn't. But space was certainly limited in these buggies. lol Never knew the body clipped on the cage there like that either . Great overview there Mark. Yeah I can see why people would want one for sure.. :)

My original Wild One doesn't have the hole for the battery wire out the side. I run mine inside the body so never had that issue. This and the FAV a real favourite of mine. I popped in to a garage and they kindly gave me some wheel weights which I added to the front of the chassis to add weight. 👍🏼

Nice intro mark great job on the info+spec keep up the great work mate really enjoy your channel 😊👍

Thanks Mark! You almost convinced me. There's still one difficult obstacle to swallow: the price. Very nice, very fun, a bit too expensive... Who knows, if I save a bit! Take care my friend ! 🎸🎶👍🏽

Great review Mark! I knew we had plenty in common with rc cars but amazing you're into stratocasters too. I have the same amp also. Unreal!

Thanks, Mark - that was very interesting. As usual with Tamiya we're faced with a strange combination of utter brilliance and damned cheek - no bearings, main power wire routing, battery tray cover and oil-spurning shocks - but we have to forgive it because it's just such fun.

Nice intro 🎸,great video and hilarious ending 🤣,that was a catchphrase from The Fast Show 👌

Nice one Mark, great review! I do like the look of these and it's nice to hear the bad as well as the good (especially from someone as knowledgeable as you). Plus I'm sure I spotted Rangie up there... enjoyed the Fast Show reference, too! 😎👍

Hey you might be able to get lipos that are shorty packs that will fit it and then you just got to put sponges for foam where it could slide back and forth.

WHOA! That was an wicked intro showcasing a great skill! Also, this was such a smart video to make due to the fact its being rere again, you gave me i formation I didnt even know I needed, I ordered one immediately after finding out about the blockhead version as I missed out in the wild ones, and i have a facination with mint400 style buggys, thanks for the great video mark

Nice Stratocaster Mark looks like a USA.. Thanks for the run down on the Wild One I’m still yet to get one so excited that they are becoming available again I do quite like the look of the blockhead version. Thanks for sharing and keep rocking!!

Really good indepth look at this buggy Mark.

One of the few buggies on the market that looks like a real buggie, I hate the “psycho-buggies” that saturate the market these days..😊

Actually it's going to be a side fins on each side like I said forehead lights and I think it's going to come with LEDs it's there's more that's done on it I even think they upgraded the shocks a bit and I think it's supposed to have a full metal roll cage.

Just Pre ordered 1

Would you stop talking this wee wild 😜 one up, cause you got me thinking about getting one. Grrrrrrrrrr 😡. It sorta looks the part, doesn’t it, is there any weak parts on it. Niiiiiiiiiiice video Mark. 😎👍👍👍🇬🇧

Thanks Mark, great review. I like the Wild one ,reminds me of my kyosho ultima. The modern rcs just never look as good as the old stuff. Wife just bought me an Escort custom Tt02. Now I have 4 to build but the Escort gets the best of everything. We never got these later Escorts in Australia and it's a real shame . They are a decent looking car and can only imagine how good the Cosworth ones go. EBay will run out of Tt02 hopups when I build so many Tt02s ! Wife is building a Tt02, it's her first build. Hopefully she doesn't get addicted more than what she already is. Take care mate and keep the videos coming.

Ah, Mark, that was cool with the guitar, now I'm expecting you play a tune at the start of each video! Yeah, the Wild One, it's been discussed a lot, I think I have to leave it to the real enthusiasts. I have this silly plan to make a fake FAV, so hopefully someday I manage that... Regarding the battery bay, would you add some velcro? It usually stops them from sliding and prevents the wear...

YOU STILL PLAY!! I'm chuffed! 😊😉 Should I get a Wild One? I think YES. 😃😏 As you know, I've wanted one FOREVER. I may get TWO! One to completely make my own. Pain or no pain, I must have it!! 😊 ..... And we will make a collaboration Video! 👍👍 Cheers 🍻 Mate! All the best.

This is one of my favorite buggies. I like the old VW based modified tube frame buggies. The shocks look great, maybe slightly bigger o-rings would help the oil leak. The suspension does mimic the old vw based mechanics. Nice review, liked the guitar riff intro. You are a man with many talents👍🏾

That's why I probably put a low turn brushed in motor in it. You know17t to 15 t motor.

I love my Wild One , too. - 2012 edition. I hope, the new LED buggy lights, that come with the Blockhead One, will be available separately! Do you think, we get a chassis molded in blue? In general, Tamiya should offer spares in different colours more often. The original red cage limits the design options quite a bit - didn't buy a black one though, that came with the shark FAV.

I generally have no good impression on Tamiya shocks. But I am 3/4 of buying an Tamiya model.

Neat

Yeah and the new one is going to have four LED lights on it it looks like with headlights on it four of them.

Thanks Mark, great looking buggy, do you think as an investment be worth getting the blockhead 👍😎

😎👍

I have found that 1500 grit sandpaper does not show thru the paint, but does give paint something to adhere to on plastic.

😁👍

I think where the battery tray goes in it is also going to be metal on the sides I could be wrong about that but that's what it look like in the video if you've seen the new video haven't you?

I did not know you knew how to play guitar and by the way the Watanabe version of the wild one they're thinking of making a bunch of wantanabe things after it like a grasshopper in a Watanabe garb and others he might have a whole line coming out.

Well we know why the guitar lives in the garage!!!

May not be double wishbone it's still fully independent.

I think they're called boots.

Hey fun per dollar you should have forgot to say. Lol

I have fast attack vehicle

You play left handed guitar??..me too

I really like the wild one, got one of the reres but i am having trouble on tarmac: handling is really awfull there, rear end looses grip verry fast. Anyone has a remedy for that?

I never build cars without ball bearings.

Have you had any problems with the diff skipping and making a clicking noise.

Why not flip the shocks
