I wonder what is this new WR-02 gonna look like?! New model announcement posted at TamiyaBlog..

58556 1/10RC Wild Willy tractor (WR-02) [tentative]

Tractor?! Maybe it is a WR-02 chassis w/ a semi shell? Bullhead style??

Update from Tamiya America:

RC Farm King (Wheelie) - WR-02

The Farm King is an R/C assembly kit based on the popular WR-02 2WD platform.

The newly designed tractor body shell is a reproduction of a farm vehicle often seen in farms across the U.S.A.

No pictures yet.

I think this is the tire they will use - fairly old design.

http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGJ73&P=ML

By the way, I keep breaking the rear plastic hex - anybody knows a good aluminum replacement?
size is 12mm x 10mm thickness.

I think that's the same tire...

Breaking hex?!

Never seen that before... it might not be easy to find aluminum replacement as it is not the usual thickness.. maybe some aftermarket companies would make one...

I know right? I also experience this breaking on my other Tam kits!

And not just on the hexes, even the other plastic parts.

Might be our hot & humid weather down here that's reacting with the plastic.

Wish they would start using nylon impregnated materials. Like AE.
