Fun wheelie action WR-02G, A model with a special driver!
This is a R/C model assembly kit of a tractor with a very special driver - the popular Japanese mascot character Kumamon!
The polycarbonate body realistically captures the image of a classic farm tractor with stretched bonnet and large tyres, featuring a pre-painted Kumamon driver figure ready to perch on the seat at the rear and take the steering wheel.
Decals are included to add a host of Kumamon and Kumamoto-themed illustrations to the model.
The rear wheel drive WR-02G chassis was made for rough riding!
Shielded by side frames and held tightly in place by the monocoque frame, the fully-sealed (pre-assembled) gearbox is well protected from impact.
Power is provided to the rear wheels by a centrally-positioned motor and transmitted via the differential in the gearbox.
The location of the battery pack is key; it's longitudinally-placed position high in the rear ensures that when the model accelerates, the front naturally rises in a wheelie.
At that point the wheelie bar on the model's rear stops the model from toppling over and in doing so maintains a great wheelie!
