class=”sc-29f61514-0 fQbOYE”>

In the 1980s, so-called radio-controlled (RC) model cars were popular. And if there’s one dream car among these 1/10 scale RC off-road vehicles, it’s the Wild One Max from Japanese toy maker Tamiya.

Little Car Company now brings to life the unimaginable of your wildest childhood dreams. The British manufacturer is making the Tamiya Wild One Max a reality as a 1:1 scale, officially road-approved buggy – with electric drive, of course.

The 1:1 scale Wild One Max looks amazing and is at least as off-road as the RC model from 40 years ago. Interesting: The batteries can be replaced almost as easily as in the remote control version.

The toy for older children will have its world premiere at the spring manufacturer Eibach’s booth at the Festival of Speed ​​in Goodwood (England) next weekend.

About 41,000 francs plus VAT

Initial orders for the non-traditional vehicle can also be placed here. The Wild One Max and its exclusive launch edition start at around 41,000 francs plus VAT equivalent internationally. If you want to reserve a vehicle, you must pay ten percent of the purchase price to Little Car Company, headquartered in Bicester, England and represented by Schmohl Classic Cars at Kemptthal ZH in Switzerland.

The output of the 3.50 meter long sand silo can be managed with a maximum of 38 hp (28 kW). But even 20 hp (15 kW) of continuous output should be enough to enjoy on paved roads and especially off-road. Eight replaceable batteries with a total capacity of 14.4 kWh provide a range of 110 kilometers off-road and 200 kilometers on the road. Top speed is a respectable 100 km/h.

Custom road package for approval

If you want to use the Wild One Max not only on private terrain, but also on public roads, you can’t avoid a convenient package of windshield, windshield wipers, fenders and gauges. Otherwise, the sand racer offers nothing more than a frame construction, lots of polycarbonate, 14-inch studded tires, two sport seats with racing belts and a digital display for the instruments and a reversing camera.

By the way: The first 100 customers will receive, among other things, a launch version with special carbon details on the body, as well as a new version of the 1985 Tamiya RC racer with remote control, including the RC remote, battery. package and charger. It’s not just perfect for shortening your big brother’s loading breaks.
