New wheelie models: 58586 Tumbling Bull & 84373 VW T1 Wheelie Custom

[bromvw]

I could be way off the mark but I'm guessing something like a Bobcat loader ?

[dualdigger]

Maybe a lexan Bullhead body?

Any updates on this?

[XV Pilot]

Am I the only one excited about this? Anybody heard any more news? Google is telling me nothing...

[TheManOfBronze]

I'm curious - I quite fancy a Farm King already, but it'd be fun to have a wider choice of wheelie stuff.

The Farm King is a lot of fun - I have one in my fleet, probably the only one that has a build thread in the forum, as while I gather several other members own the things, I have yet to see any built.

I think it needs a sibling though, as so far it is my only wheelie model. I am really looking forward to seeing some pics of this Tumbling Bull, to confirm whether or not it is some sort of digger as we suspect.

I have a built box-art farm king (with oil shocks), it's listed on TC with two other members with built tractors!

It's a cracking vehicle, better spec and drive than my lunchbox so I sold the lunchie in the end

If it's a good shell, I might get one!

Lol, Porsche wheely tractor!

[Grastens]

A straight-up tractor! I actually like it already!

[GregM]

And this is the Carson variant of the Tumbling Bull... erm Porsche Diesel Super:

Doesn't make wheelies, though lots of other functions to make up for that.

[JWeston]

The Hilux driver is going to get battered. I love this oh sooooo much. Definitely getting one.

[mr crispy]

Interesting. Doubt the driver will last long and it's a shame they didn't match the wheel design.

I wonder what this is:

58589 Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Pick-Up

Another wheelie model on the WR-02G chassis?

It's a new 4WD chassis.

[XV Pilot]

That Land Cruiser looks intriguing. Willy at the wheel (as one would expect from the name and proportions), and a new 4WD chassis. Is that a WR03 maybe?

Personally I think the WR and WT chassis designations are a bit odd. The WR01 is a big dual-motor 4X4, but the WR02 is a 2WD wheelie chassis. The WT01 is a 2WD version of the WR01, and now we have this chassis in the mix too. To my mind, this 4WD wheelie chassis should be called a WR02, and the 2WD wheelie one should be called a WT02.

Or maybe I am just over-thinking it all...

[waterbok]

WR04, WR03 would be a trike ;-)

Willy's Ride

[GregM]

Blackholesun once mentioned WR-0x would stand for Willy Ranger.

[Mokei Kagaku]

The new 4WD wheelie chassis is named GF-01.

Liking the Yota, but changing the battery looks like a body off job

[beefmuffin]

as much as i totally dig this, i have to admit i was hoping for a yellow bulldozer

[IBIFTKH]

They can call it the WT-F-01 for all I care, I like it! Looks great with that Yota body - definitely going on the 'I want one' list. It wouldn't surprise me to see the Unimog using this short bed on this chassis too. And stock up on WW2 rear wheels & tyres...!

Finally! Pictures of the Tumbling Bull:

My farm king with nice soft oil shocks is such a challenging drive!

I would recommend wrapping some bubble wrap around the driver of the bull when taking it for a spin! Lol

I want one!

[taffer]

I would also hope these models come with drawn art boxes as well!

Velcro or some Magnets that should make live easier.

and gets rid of the ugly mountposts.
