The WR-02C is a mid-motor, rear-wheel-drive chassis with a solid rear axle, making it well suited to smooth and lightly rough surfaces such as tarmac, car parks, and indoor tracks. This is a kit rather than a ready-to-run model, so assembly is required – but the build process is well documented and typical of Tamiya's intermediate-level kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt on the WR-02C chassis, a front-engine RWD platform with a solid rear axle suited to on-road and smooth mixed-surface running.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eESC is included in the box, removing one of the main additional purchases required for most kit builds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 1\/10 scale body captures the boxy, period-correct shape of the Honda City Turbo, a popular JDM subject among Tamiya collectors and RC builders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKit format with a manual-guided assembly process – suitable for hobbyists with some prior model or RC kit experience.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses Tamiya's standard parts and hardware, so spares and hop-up options are widely available through the Tamiya parts network.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTamiya WR-02C chassis kit with Honda City Turbo body shell and parts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronic speed controller (ESC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecal sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstruction manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat You'll Need\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTamiya or compatible 540-size brushed electric motor (not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-channel RC transmitter and compatible receiver\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteering servo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNiMH or LiPo battery pack suitable for 1\/10 scale RC (check ESC voltage rating before use)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible battery charger\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBasic hand tools for assembly (screwdrivers, pliers, hobby knife)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis RC model is an updated release of a Tamiya classic, which was released as \"Willys Wheeler\" back in 1983.

The 185mm wheelbase WR-02C chassis utilizes a sturdy monocoque frame which encompasses and protects the gearbox, enhanced by side members. The gear differential unit housed inside the sealed gearbox receives its power from the centerline-mounted motor and passes it on to the rear wheels. A longitudinal position for the battery pack contributes to the model's optimal weight distribution to ensure that when the City Turbo accelerates in a hurry, it performs a dynamic and thrilling wheelie, cushioned by the wheelie roller bar to ensure that the car doesn't topple over. The steering servo is also positioned along the centerline of the chassis, using a 2 tie-rod setup for straightforward handling. The model also features 4-wheel independent double wishbone suspension for a smooth ride. For ease of assembly, the gearbox and motor come pre-assembled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe WR-02C chassis is based upon the WR-02, and inherits its playful and fun drivability.
