My original wild one had hex drives, can remember greasing them like it was yesterday even though it was 35 years ago

Me too! Hex drive cups. Greased them then covered all in the rubber boot and zip tied it all down. Unfortunately my friend "borrowed" my original Wild One and stripped it for parts. I threw it away when I cleaned out my garage in 2009 not knowing I might have been able to get parts for it. I hate myself for that. My friend owes me the reproduction version! Man, I stared at the 1985 Tamiya Radio Control Guide Book for hours until Santa brought my Wild One and my brother's Grasshopper. I recall the FAV in 1985 was desert tan and not green. Fantastic channel! Thanks for the content.

Great video. I bought a WO then put the plastic bonnet and driver figure on with the FAV wheels. Then applied the Shark Mouth decals which I prefer over the military style FAV. It sits lower than the WO and handles fantastic on smooth surfaces. The WO however looks amazing. Poss my favourite of all time. Great video as usual. Cheers.

I remember when I got my Blackfoot in '87 it used the hex-shafts at the back. The same as the Frog, Subaru Brat and the Monster Beetle. They used to round off over time no matter how well greased they were hence the change to dog bones on the ReRes. The Blackfoot came after the FAV and Wild One so I'd imagine they had the same shafts. I have fond memories of my Blackfoot and my first RC - a Hornet I got for Christmas in '86. They taught me a lot about the basics of mechanics and I loved tinkering with them as much as running them. Happy days!!

I would love it if you could maybe a little series on the first 100 Tamiya buggies. Showing pictures and maybe a bit of information....... Blimey that would keep you busy🤣🤣. And of course it would include the holiday buggy... Great for me👍👍.. Well done again Glen and as we are watching this in real time... Take care and stay safe

Great comparison. The original Wild One also ran hexes, same as the FAV. Although Tamiya used dog bones in the Hotshot and other 4WD buggies I don't think they started using dog bones in 2WD buggies until (I think) the Astute. Maybe a little earlier but I can't think of one... Most of the others either used these kind of hexes like the Frog, Brat and so on or other similar setups like the Fox and Falcon and others. 👍

I remember a few other things, the wild one had a dif and the avf did not. The axels where interchangeble with the Subaru brat. Which had the same drive and gear als the avf. I changed the dif out whit the gear from the brat/ avf to get more grip on the sand. Also changed the rear wheels out with the brat ones.

The Wild One is the Tamiya buggy which you can picture yourself riding in if it were 1/1 scale. It was the last of the old school desert buggies. It’s release gave us one last look at a glorious era of crazy hombres flooring the pedal through unforgiving deserts in crazy VW beetle mash-ups.

I used plastic glue to glue the arms on, works better than superglue. The stuff made to assemble plastic models. I think your tie rods problems on the Fast attack vehicle were due to the front arms, now that you say it. The short tie rods probably work with the original front arms. Not sure about it, but i think the originals had diffrent kind of Mechanical Speed Controler. Need to look into that. Your wild one is missing the spring tensioners / distance rings on the front. With them it sits higher on the front and has a little more positive suspension travel, but of course less negative travel. The original differential had problems because it had a weak plastic spacer, the rere manual suggests bronce bearing replacing the spacer which is more durable. What does your original manual say about the distance ring that is in the diff?
@schuttrostig5729
@schuttrostig5729 4 жыл бұрын
I am wrong: seems to be the same speed controler. On the Diff: originals have strange "bearing" parts W2 amd a distance part W3. ReRe has metal(bronce)bushing 850 instead of W3, and the standard nylon bushings, while these are scoffed at by evryone they are probably better than the W2 plastic parts. Wildone original had Hex driveshafts like the FAV.

I have an original Wild One. Hex driveshafts. They are really sensitive to the suspension droop and make a terrible clicking noise at full suspension downward travel. The original WO also had very weak damping in the shocks compared to yours. The car had a lot of lean and suspension motion, but it made the car grip pretty well until it ran out of travel. You can get the driver out by removing the front crossbar as well as the roof. Instead of unscrewing the roof from the front crossbar, just remove the screws from the crossbar to the main roll cage.

Very interesting Glenn. Both stunners. With my FAV I left the bottom of in bare plastic because I expected the paint to scratch off. I prefer the FAV battery cover because it protects the battery and it's also a flatter surface to skid over rough ground. I've never had the Wild One but I'm guessing it's a better runner with less to fall off !

Great stuff as always my friend. Do you know if there was ever a race series that included the Wild One? It’s definitely a more of a drivers car and is significantly more refined. I can’t say I was a lover of either one and went for a second-hand Hornet then a Falcon as my first buggies to race with my mates. They seemed much more configurable and sturdy. I was lucky that my mates had Grass Hoppers, Rough Riders and the loathsome Striker, so I could dump all over them on the track 😬

From memory the original Wild One had hex drive shafts. A mate of mine had one and he was forever having problems with them popping out or just not getting drive from the gear box. Don't know if it's the way he built it or a fault, but the rear trailing arms seemed to push out too much and the drive shafts would come out. I nearly bought a re-release of this car but couldn't find out whether the drive shafts had changed so didn't bother. Would still love one though as it's my favourite car, closely followed by the Fox.

I was wondering myself what the difference between them were. I have the 2011 re-re FAV and once had the 1984 FAV which got me started into the hobby. The hex drive shafts were getting round and binned the whole car unfortunately, did it for the Hot Shot, Blackfoot and The Hornet, binned them all. It would have been nice if you used a scale to compare the weight difference between the cars and parts. Was looking into the Wild One (58525) but they are rare now and expensive. Hope Tamiya will re-issue the car again….Keep up the good work !

Glen my friend! You have done a boss paint job on your Tamiya FAV But,.. when you painted your olive drab colour? on the parts, did you clear coat the painted parts with either,.. gloss,satin, or matt acrylic spray clear coat? if you haven't , or didn't clear coat them, it will chip and rubb the paint. Painted plastic needs a clear coat to protect and toughen the painted surface. it's just that i heard you mention that the paint is always chipping or rubbibg off when you handle the vechile. Also, that it frustrates you when this happens. Clear coat won't harm your paint job,or decals. infact it will benefit that nice paint job for many years, without the worry of the paint coming off. Wasn't sure if you had clear coated the model or not. You didn't mention clearcoating on your video.

Never really thought about the FAV and the Wild One as cars that appealed to my taste until you presented them on youtube. I now know they do.. And I really can't decide between them. That paint job of yours looks stunning on the FAV! Would the battery cover underneath of the the Wild One suit the FAV?

use a hard plastics glue, ive used that on the wild willy figure , it melts the plastic also when it goes off you can use it to fill the gaps.. this glue wont work on all the plastics as its the wrong type of plastic.
