Latest from Tamiya:

The Farm King is an R/C assembly kit based on the popular WR-02 2WD platform. The WR-02 platform was first introduced on the Wild Willy 2, which comes with a pre-assembled gearbox and thanks to clever weight distribution is easy to wheelie by “blipping” the throttle on the transmitter. The newly designed tractor body shell is a reproduction of a farm vehicle often seen in farms across the U.S.A.

uhhh... tamiya, put down the pipe please.

can't say it's not creative though.

OK. Who is the first person who could have built this with stock parts sitting in their bin?

I'm envisioning Maxx tires in rear, 2.2 up front and something like a Mamba Monster under a Bruder tractor. Talk about hilarious fun on a Stampede size chassis.

Still, it's pretty comical and will be seen in trailer parks near you soon!

I think the 60,000 gallon vat of tire glue has the lid sitting off in the corner again...

Can't blame them for trying something new though!

Maybe it'll be a collector's item in 30 years..

No, but there will at least be four re-releases to pick from.

I think it's awesome!

I would hook it up to little tree stumps and yank them out of the ground.

the wild willy 2 was my very first rc so many years ago. very fun chassis. with a mild mod motor, oil shocks, an esc and bearings, this thing could be very fun.

I thought the bus was too much... then a tractor...
There is a little kid in the midwest that just cr@pped himself, and is begging ma and pa to get 'em one of these.
