Custom offroader transformed into bright colors
This is a wild one offroader customized by graphic designer JUN WATANABE, who is also known as a big Tamiya RC fan. In contrast to the original version, which features a wide and low body structure and wild black and red coloring, the Wild One Off-Roader BLOCKHEAD MOTORS features a bright light blue that excites off-road driving. Moreover, the polycarbonate body is painted in light blue and has been cut. The window net, bib plate, and dummy antenna will make your run more exciting. Of course, the BLOCKHEAD MOTORS logo, the mascot mark of the turtle, and many sponsor marks are prepared with stickers.
4 The rear-wheel drive chassis equipped with German suspension creates a metallic feel
The frame is a box type made of ABS resin that is light and highly durable. The battery case is compatible with LF batteries as well as 7.2V racing packs. Wide tread specification for 4-wheel independent suspension with single trailing arm. Both front and rear are equipped with aluminum cylinder oil dampers, and especially the front damper mount is also made of aluminum. The gear case mounted on the rear end is a sealed type that shuts out the intrusion of sand and pebbles that are inherent in off-road. It has a built-in differential gear to ensure smooth cornering. In addition, the drive shaft joint is equipped with a dog bone type with excellent wear resistance and dust boots to improve driving reliability. Moreover, JUN’s commitment is also to the chassis. The roll bar with insert molded metal parts is silver. It is also a point to use plated parts for the wheels, front and rear suspension arms, side guards, and gearbox to create a metallic feel.
