I love R/C cars.  As a matter of fact, I picked up a ‘starter’ model Losi Mini Desert Truck for Father’s day this year.  The official reason for this childish indulgence was to race and thrash around the neighborhood with my son, with his Losi Mini Desert Buggy.  The truth is, I just needed another vehicle to tinker with, and an R/C truck makes a pretty affordable diversion.

So I understand the fascination with the vehicles and hobby, but these guys take it to a rather bizarre extreme.  Typical R/C vehicle are scaled to 1:18, 1:10, maybe 1:8 or 1:5.  However, this Tamiya Wild Willy’s (and a Previous Tamiya Sand Scorcher) have been brought to real life in 1:1 scale by a German tuning house.
