As a result, this will go ANYWHERE. The Mad Bull really is a superb beginners car and great fun for all - it is also quite tough and very reliable. Get ready to experience a whole new level of excitement as you delve into the world of off-road racing with the exhilarating Mad Bull assembly kit. This kit is designed to unleash your inner thrill-seeker, offering the opportunity to create a 2WD buggy that's mounted with massive tires, ready to conquer any terrain with style and power. Charger: You can choose to upgrade the charger - the mini peak (auto cut off) charger will take 2 to 3 hours depending on the battery, the Mistral 5 Amp Charger from 25 minutes depending on the battery, and the Etronix Fast Charger somewhere in-between. The basic USB charger is included in the price. Running brushless on NiMh isn;t really worth doing. You won't see the benefit really. Running your brushed motor on LiPo, though, would mean you get a lot less voltage dropoff. Might wear your motor out faster though..... Great news for those looking to save a bit of time on the assembly - wheels are attached to tires, friction dampers come pre-assembled,The rear-wheel drive chassis is constructed around a tough monocoque frame, sporting front swing arm and rear rolling rigid suspension setups. At the heart of this incredible kit is the molded plastic single-seater body, meticulously crafted to capture the essence of a rugged off-road racing buggy. Every curve and contour of the body has been carefully designed to reflect the dynamic nature of off-road racing. What's more, the kit provides you with all the parts you need to recreate a lifelike driver figure, adding an extra touch of realism to your creation. Please note: These ‘ready to run bundles’ includes everything you need to operate this model once the kit is built. This is a kit which will require building. This model comes with a white shell. Please see our Tamiya Paint range for colours available. Bearing Upgrade: These make the car run more smoothly and are easily installed during assembly. If there is no option for these shown, then the kit already includes the bearing upgrade as standard. These are entirely optional.

Get ready for some serious fun, with this assembly kit to create a 2WD buggy mounted with massive tires!

Thank you for the numbers and the finned grooves tip - very helpful. I will note these down and source some parts soon enough. 🙂 It features a molded plastic single-seater body, with parts included to recreate a driver for figure for that extra touch of realism. Includes powerful 540 series motor, overall length 40cm, width 31.5cm. High Ground clearance - off road racer. White plastic body, which you can paint with any modelling paint (e.g. the TS- range we list, search "TAMIYA TS-" to see the range). This car is an evolution of the Hornet style models, but includes the tyres and wheels based on those fitted to the Lunch Box.

The Tamiya RC Mad Bull from our great range of radio controlled buggies, is a high performance 1/10th scale off road racer with chunky lug pattern tires mated to a simple but reliable chassis making this ideal for any off road radio control buggy enthusiast. A great 2WD Model for the first time user. Easy to assemble and run. Kit includes a standard 540 type motor and an electronic speed control.I was also afraid the driveline won't hold up if I go too crazy with a brushless/LiPo setup. Good to know NiMh/brushless is not worth it so I might give a LiPo/brushed (current one) a go until it goes and then go for a brushless upgrade altogether! Not too fussed to keep the original motor running anyways.

THIS KIT INCLUDES UPGRADED 3300MAH BATTERY, FAST MAINS CHARGER and SUPER STRENGTH METAL GEARED SERVO! If you go brushless, so for a fairly mild setup. The MadBull driveline isn;t really intended to take a lot of power, and you will run into gearing issues.
