The Tamiya Wild One (58525) re-release in 2012 was a welcome surprise for many Tamiya enthusiasts. After the re-release of the Fast Attack Vehicle (FAV) in 2011, much speculation began regarding whether Tamiya would re-release the Wild One. Having never been a fan of the FAV, I was ever hopeful the Wild One would be offered, so I was quite pleased to learn of its release this year.
The first production run includes a set of eight 5x11mm ball bearings as a bonus. Note that you'll still need another two 5x11mm bearings and three 5x8mm bearings to have all ball bearings in the gearbox and all four wheel axles. The US kit includes the TEU-105BK ESC. The TEU-105BK is similar to the TEU-104BK but has on-board BEC so if your receiver isn't BEC equipped you no longer need a separate BEC circuit which is a welcome addition. Reverse power is still limited to 50% however, which, frankly, stinks. I wish Tamiya would put 100% reverse power back in like the now-discontinued TEU-101BK.
