What the Tamiya 18710 Rowdy Bull offers

The Tamiya 18710 Rowdy Bull is a Mini 4WD designed for hobbyists who like to tune and race. Built on the FM-A chassis, it combines a front motor layout with aerodynamic components that work well across a variety of race circuits.

Body features and finish

The Rowdy Bull uses a solid, off-road inspired shell formed in tinted smoke ABS resin. Its styling focuses on durability and a bold visual presence suitable for both display and competitive running.

How the FM-A chassis influences handling

With the motor placed forward, the FM-A chassis shifts the center of gravity toward the front, helping stability through climbs and undulating sections. It also includes a low-friction front skid bar and simple motor access for quick servicing.

Performance upgrades you can try

Begin with the Atomic-Tuned 2 motor included in the kit, then consider tuning items such as super hard tyres, a brake set, short mass damper blocks and FRP front/rear plates to refine handling and rigidity for competitive runs.

Tamiya 18710 Rowdy Bull balances robust styling with practical upgrade paths. The FM-A chassis makes it a flexible platform for collectors and racers who enjoy setup work.

Inspect the gear mesh and lubrication regularly, especially after practice sessions, to avoid excess wear and keep consistent performance.
Super hard tyres included are a good baseline; some racers opt for slightly softer compounds or added grip treatments for rougher surfaces to improve traction.
Maintenance is straightforward thanks to accessible motor and parts. Routine cleaning and occasional parts checks are all that is typically needed.
Yes. FRP front and rear plates increase chassis stiffness which can sharpen response, though setup adjustments may be required to suit your track.
Absolutely. The tinted smoke ABS body gives it a strong display presence while the chassis keeps it race capable, making it suitable for both uses.
