If you love the idea of blasting through sand dunes and obliterating trails on an off-road vehicle like no other, perhaps the Tamiya Wild One Max is for you. But only if you have €41,000 (P2,510,000, before taxes) burning a hole in your wallet, not to mention the moolah to ship one over to the Philippines and pay the corresponding duties.

Based on the original Tamiya Wild One (58050) radio-controlled car first released in 1985, the Wild One Max will be relaunched as a full-scale vehicle in 2024 and will also be road-legal in the UK and the EU under L7e quadricycle regulations.

The two-seat, rear-wheel-drive dune buggy is powered by an electric motor capable of reaching a top speed of 80.5km/h, with a maximum estimated range of 200km on the road or 110km off it. It has eight removable battery packs with a total capacity of 4.4kWh.

Measuring 3.6m long and 1.9m wide, it has a ground clearance 0f 270mm with approach, break-over and departure angles of 34.1°, 28.4°, and 50.8°, so it will be a riot on the trail. Bilstein shocks, Brembo brakes, and Maxxis Bighorn tires will let it roll over just about anything.

The first 100 customers to give a deposit of €4,100 will get an exclusive Launch Edition with special upgrades like a carbon-fiber dashboard, a carbon-fiber key fob, Launch Edition hologram decals, R/C replica wheel nuts, and a specially reintroduced Tamiya Wild One 1/10 kit complete with remote control, battery, and charger. Not to mention bragging rights to having an off-road beast that will run rings around a modified pickup truck or SUV.
