Exactly. It's 8/10 scale...in other words, almost full-size. It's still a 'kit' that needs to be put together, and (in stock form) it tops our at 30mph...but, the company actually making it (they've licence the Tamiya name) is supposedly going to offer 'upgrades'.

I hope he comes back on here and reads the article properly this time and realize it's full scale

That thing is a pretty cool homage to the Wild One. Would be curious to know what the driving experience is like.

I still have my OG Wild One that I built in the 80’s as a kid. It had pretty plush shocks for a Tamiya of that period.

Yes, I knew it was full size. I guess I'm not good at conveying humor or sarcasm.

I wonder if they'll make a 4/5th scale one.

Not likely but I hear they're working on a 12/15th.

I'd rather buy a used SXS that actually goes fast enough to be fun.

Why go 8/10th when you can go 1:1 ?
