description  Hello fellas, This is it!! my original Wild One! I am over the moon with this buggy! What a classic the Wild one is! You can check my related item and see how it was before the restoration and now that its had a good makeover. I have not used box art as its so common on these now, yes it looks great but i fancied a change! I used different wheels & tyres because i have never been a great fan of the standard Wild Ones set! I did want a FAV set but gave these wheels/tyres a go and i think they have worked well! The car just needs a receiver and she's ready to go!!! She will be a shelfer and that Tamiya Super stock BZ motor in it may be a bit much for those old hex drive shafts!! Hope you like what i have done with it and i would be pleased to hear your opinions positive or negative! One more thing guys! Have a peep at pic 10 as it shows my FAB 4!!! 4 of the most elite Tamiya's in my book!! Cheers MAD-BEE

Very nice work you´ve done here, the yello looks great by the black but the red make´s it all compleet. Those front tires looks great, not sure if they are also avaiable for ther rear, meby it woudt look good too to have the same tires on the front and rear. Pics are great but the first one is my favorit. Congrats Mad with your new shelfer! Whats next on the list!!

(Stickerbod) thanks mate, it was a bit of a gamble but its paid off! Me too (SRB Bloke) i am a sucker for a beach shot! I do like the box art on the Wild One but the majority seem to be done this way and wanted somthing different and fresh looking too! cheers pal.

I think yelo is a very good colour choice for a Wild One. It makes a good colour contrast to the red cage and black tub. Lovely work MAD-BEE! Now show us a few rooster tails on your beach.

Raider fronts? Nothing at all against the re-release but it does mean the vintage price has come down so I hope to see more Vintage Wild Ones popping up on TC. Fantastic runners Yours looks ace in that yellow

James, your spare wheels is the same of the front ones..I can`t believe it!! he he he I`m joking The blue sky (pic.1) and the yellow bodyshell are matching perfectly! Really nice shots and details. I agree with the white wheels and the yellow/red/white colour scheme. Make this buggy vibrant and actual. Even the driver helmet is modern style I love it!

Ahaaa! So this is the 'beast' you were talking about James! Yes now I get where you are coming from with the yellow body/driver with red frame and black chassis & gearbox, very interesting, good job. Luckily my version planned is not going to cause any copyright infringement issues against yours so whew! *Sigh of relief*!
