I pre-ordered this kit back in August and it finally arrived last Monday....My intention when I ordered it was to build it completely stock, as I'd missed out on the original re-release. I've also been on the look out for a FAV to restore, but when I saw that the FAV re-release body, lights, and driver figure parts (B and C) were back in stock it got me thinking of building a vintage looking racer. I wanted the Wild One stock, but also a FAV, so I made two cars in one. Both are completely reversible. Custom FAV or stock looking Wild One. Wheels can be swapped, number plate removed, driver swapped, and body. Just a few screws and a bit of time! I already had the SRB wheels, bumper, BH decals, and paint kicking around. The only upgrades fitted are full bearings and the sport tuned motor. This kit came with the Carson ESC.

Update: July 2022
Looking nice outside in the sunshine!

Nicely done Phil! I do have both WO and FAV in NIB condition. I've just finished my WO BHM just last night with lights. I will post some photos soon!

Very nice! I love the slightly paired back simplicity, they look great and have a really good scale look. Wild Ones are the best!

Thanks Ben! I'm looking forward to seeing your WO BHM finished. It's been a while since you got that. It'll look good with the working lights.

Thanks GeeWings too! I also love them for their simplicity which is good as I plan on running this one.

Looks great! Nice balance between FAV/WildOne parts with spectacular result IMO.

Thanks for your comment Tamiyastef. I'm glad you like it. It was a lot of fun to do, but if I want, it can go back to a stock WO.
