Tamiya Wild Willy 2

Wild Willy M38 Replica

The Wild Willy 2 but with look of the Classic & Iconic Wild Willy M38!

We all have grown to love the iconic Wild Willy M38 from the 1980’s but the Wild Willy, different in many ways looked very similar but it had 1 major ‘visible’ difference which was the Lunchbox type monster truck balloon tires. I was not a fan of these wheels and tires as the original M38 wheels and sand tires were classic!

I wanted to build this kit up to look like the M38 so I searched everywhere for aftermarket rims but nobody made any. Then somebody started re-producing the tires. So I decided that I would have to design and create rims that looked similar to the 80’s Wild Willy wheels but also fit on the new Wild Willy 2000 axles as the mounting was much different.

So after hours of design and 3D test prints, I finally came up with the perfect custom replica M38 wheels.

Enjoy!
