Wild Willy R/C car gets a life-sized makeover
The Tamiya Wild Willy (for those of you too young to remember) was an immensely popular Japanese R/C car back in 1982, and German tuning company The Bug Box has decided to build a 1:1 scale driveable model, for no reason other than the fact that it can.
The unfortunately named Wild Willy has been painstakingly crafted to be as accurate as its 1:10 scale 30 year old ancestor, with a rear-mounted VW engine providing the same tire-slamming wheelies that made the original Wild Willy so popular.
Coupled with the gigantic radio control unit, this is one re-vamped bit of 80's nostalgia that we can definitely get behind, but sadly one that won't be mass produced any time soon.
