TAMIYA Wild Willy M38 Orz - 輪胎(一) Tires , Good news for Wild Willy M38 (Chapter one)

輪胎永遠都是收藏絕版車的頭疼問題！這些20～30年歷史的輪胎，常常都是已經龜裂裂開，或是已經被磨損的差不多了．

I think tires are always a big headache for vintage RC fans collection of out of released RC car ! These 20 to 30 year old tires are often cracked or split, or have been worn almost done.

The tires of the Wild Willy M38 was used as same as the TAMIYA 4X4 Blazing Blazer(58029) which released in 7th Jun 1982,  Wild Willy M38 (58035) share in 27th Nov at the same year.

威力一代(Willy M38)的輪胎是沿用田宮(58029) Blazing Blazer 4X4，在1982.6.7發售，同年11.27 Wild Willy M38 (58035)發售，共用此車的輪胎．

沒有機會接觸過Willy M38的玩家，多半會誤認為這輪胎與蚱蜢的相同．

下面照片左邊是Blazer與Willy M38的輪胎，右邊是蚱蜢的輪胎．

The vintage RC fans who do not have a chance to play Wild Willy M38 are likely to believe that the tires is as same as the TAMIYA Grasshopper.

There are pictures below to show that difference of tires between Wild Willy M38 and Grasshopper :

而威力一代全新輪胎更是難找，偶爾在eBby或Yahoo Japan看到，競標激烈價格又高．

傑克我手中的全新威力一代輪胎，多半是在拍賣網站時選擇胎皮狀況已經是很好的，只有一組是競標買到的，而且那次很神奇的是沒人跟我競標！

The Wild Willy M38 within newly tires is hardly to find out, occasionally seen in auction website from eBby or Yahoo Japan, online bidding price is too high and many ~ many  fans want to get it !
I get some of newly tires, which are mostly condition is already very good on the car when I find out on auction website, only a group of tires is a bidding to buy, and that condition is as magical as no one to bid it with me!

2017年來自eBay的好消息！復刻輪胎！來自於香港．據說評價不錯，傑克我也購買兩車份，待收到後再分享給大家！

或是等等看田宮是否繼山豬後，來個 4X4 Blazing Blazer的復刻～ 

Good news from eBay! Replica tires ! From Hong Kong. It is said the commented on eBay is positive, I also buy two group of the tries, to be received and then to share with you guys!
or you guys can wait for TAMIYA to re-release the car, the 4X4 Blazing Blazer~ one day! haha!
