The Little Car Company promised our grown-up R/C dreams would one day come true - that day is nearly here.
EV. It would combine the look of one of the most iconic radio-controlled cars in history with a battery powertrain for what looked like a huge amount of fun on four wheels. With official backing from Tamiya, too. Following the delays that have beset virtually every bit of the industry recently, its maker has now been confirmed that the Wild One MAX will be shown in full this summer. And it appears to have been worth the longer-than-expected wait.
Where the Wild One was previously said to be 3.5m long and 1.8m wide, it’s now 3.6m long and 1.9m wide - and the simple reason for that is that the car's customers wanted a passenger pew rather than the single-seat arrangement the original came with. Frankly, who wouldn't want just enough space to take another big kid along for the ride with you? The front suspension is now double wishbones instead of trailing arms, too. Which is also good.

Tennessee company refuses US request to recall 67 million potentially dangerous air bag inflatorsA Tennessee company could be heading for a legal battle with U.S. auto safety regulators after refusing a request to recall millions of potentially dangerous air bag inflators. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is demanding that ARC Automotive of Knoxville recall 67 million inflators because they could explode and hurl shrapnel. The agency says at least two people have been killed in the U.S. and Canada, and six others have been hurt as a result of defective ARC inflators. The recall would cover about one-quarter of the vehicles now on U.S. roadways.
