THE TAMIYA WILD ONE IS MAKING A COMEBACK IN 2023
Ask any child of the 1980s what names like the Hornet, Lunchbox, Sand Scorcher & Avante meant to them, and they will likely reminisce about the joys of building and driving the 1/10th scale Radio Controlled cars of their childhood.
The original Tamiya Wild One (58050) was released in 1985 and became one of the brand’s most iconic models. Such was the popularity of the model it was even re-released in 2012 (58525) to further acclaim.
Now, we are delighted to announce that the Wild One will make its return a decade later – only this time, with a difference.

BUILT FOR ADVENTURE
The Little Car Company are developing the Wild One MAX for release in 2023 under Licence from Tamiya. Rather than being 1/10th scale, the Wild One MAX will be an impressive 8/10th scale, and you will not need an R/C controller, because it is big enough to drive yourself!
Yes, that’s right, developed in partnership with the company behind the Bugatti Baby II, Aston Martin DB5 Junior and the Ferrari Testa Rossa J, the Wild One MAX will be a rear-wheel drive, off road electric buggy. At approximately 3.5m long, 1.8m wide and weighing around 250kg, the Wild One MAX will take up a bit more space than the R/C kits of the past. But just like the original, you get the opportunity to assemble these models at home.
