Wild Willy 2 (WR-02) Question..

[axel68]

Today I received a WW2 kit where the owner started building it but did not get very far (only gearbox was built...sort of). Anyway, the decals and the manual suggests that it was printed in  1999, and inside the manual it shows the installation of a modern style speed controller. However, the kit I received includes a new mechanical speed controller. I'm confused. The MCS has paperwork that states it is for the WR-02 chassis. Would the MCS have been acquired by the owner separately, and not originally included in the kit?

If it’s any help, I’ve purchased a new kit before and it’s had the teu-105bk instead of a tble-02s esc.

I presumed that Tamiya send a bunch of kits to sellers with speed controllers, and the sellers decide to sell them with or without the speed controllers. I got unlucky and got old stock, I could be completely wrong.

I think in the WW2 kit the gearbox is pre-assembled anyway.

The last WW2 kit I had I'm sure came with an MSC - might have been old stock but don't think I bought it more than 10 years ago.

Thank you both for your responses.
