Tamiya Twin Terror with Dual Motors and Dual Servos! Here is the renowned, original and classic 1999 Monster Truck that spawned a whole line of Tamiya WR-01 and WT-01 models for almost 20 years! It's finally time to get started on the Tamiya WR-01 upgrade and transformation project for this year ... so here is a quick presentation and the last run of an old and dirty Tamiya Wild Dagger (Tamiya 58231) ... before it is turned into something else.

This video series is part of my effort of trying to get all my RC cars up and running this year. One car at a time. Slowly. I hope I will make it.
Be aware that this is not a true restoration of a vintage model. More of a runner-project with a complete clean-up, transformation, upgrade and modernization. Some will like the final result, some will not. I hope I will.
This is an original 1999 Tamiya Wild Dagger I purchased for little money several years ago. It was dirty and well-used but I never got around to a clean-up and restoration, and just used it as it came, as a little extra runner for our small allotment hut garden back in the City: • Tamiya WR-01 Wild Dagg...
I have had several parts (towers, shocks, motors, ESC, pinions etc.) ready for a complete clean-up and upgrade project for several years now, but last year my son and me was busy running and building Tamiya WT-01's so we didn't really need another WR-01 or WT-01 to keep us more busy.
I never really liked the paint job on this one. If it had come with a box-art paint job (which I like) in good condition, I might have settled with a disassembly/assembly and clean-up, keeping it stock and original. But since I have another WR-01 non-Wild Dagger-body and decals set lying around, and since I really could need a new 4x4 Monster Truck runner, I might as well turn the entire car into something else. There is really nothing rare and special about this particular unit. All the WR-01 and WT-01 parts are still available brand new. Only thing that is rare, is a box-art or clear Wild Dagger body and complete set of decals (which this unit doesn't have). And after all, I can always go back and turn it into a Wild Dagger again, later.
