  • Unboxing and review of the Tamiya Wild Willy2 XB.
    RTR wheelie machine with everything you need in the box.
    Have a look at the detail on the driver figure and Jeep body.
    The question is, Is it worth it. Is there any value for the money spent.
    And the really big question.....Will I run It?
    More Tamiya fun here.......

    One of tamiyas greatest ever and so much fun. I started out watching the original wild willy going over ramps in the 80s, my mate owned one but not me as we was a poor family lol. Upgraded my willy 2 with a 550 motor and nimh 8.4 v with a electric metal rc winch and full lights. Its a 10/10. Also try the rockbuster and txt 1 all time greatest tamiya.

      Have the Rock Buster N.I B.
      Will build it on the show in the next month or so.
      And I just got out bid on the TXT-1!

      Have one and one to build. Just wanted to see factory detail. Only real disappointment is they never painted the rear fender flares black. As described it the kit manual.

    Just for the driver figure it's worth. But I'm a kit guy😉

      Yes, I like building as well. Just trying something different.

      Looks good and just pops wheelie after wheelie. Highly recommend a Willy2.

    That’s cool that it’s rtr, most of the xb are saxb semi assembled expert built.. reminds me of the qd days

    • @EMPTYPOCKETSRC
      @EMPTYPOCKETSRC  Рік тому

      XB is rtr radio and all. XSA is "semi assembled "...fully built and painted but no radio gear or servo.
      The Quick drive is a trap....cocktail, bid thinking ya'll getting a heck of a bargain.
      Then it shows up! 🤔
      Want a QD jeep?

    Building is more fun than driving to me, so these kits don't attract me except for one reason. Prepainted Driver figure. I suck at that painting. Nicd battery, Toss that sucker.

    • @EMPTYPOCKETSRC
      @EMPTYPOCKETSRC  8 місяців тому

      I agree, the building is the best part.
      I just wanted to try one to see the difference.

    Oh by the way the spare parts left over on the parts trees for the willy 2 can be turned into a proper damped wheelie bar with a couple little wheels stolen from a youngsters toy car.

      I think the xb is a good option for people that don't paint or have tools.
      They also would make excellent gifts. The person could open it and run it with no additional cost.
