Hit the Rough Stuff with the Tamiya 58089 Bullhead

Hobbyists who enjoy trail runs and bashing will find the Tamiya 58089 Bullhead a practical platform. This 1/10 monster truck pairs a 4WD layout with dual 540 motors to deliver consistent shove across varied terrain.

Suspension Travel and Control

Long-stroke coil shocks on all four corners help the Bullhead soak up jumps and ruts while keeping the tyres planted. The gear differential complements the solid axle setup to balance traction and steering feel.

Rugged Body and Clearance

The ABS body is built to cope with knocks and the elements. A 270mm wheelbase and 55mm minimum ground clearance give the truck room to traverse rocks and logs, while fixed camber and toe simplify setup for casual running.

Tuning Notes and Practical Mods

Owners often tweak gear ratios, shock oil weight, and tyre choice to match local surfaces. The kit is friendly to straightforward upgrades that improve acceleration or handling without complex machining.

Tamiya 58089 Bullhead is a reliable starter platform for hobbyists who want a buildable monster truck that remains easy to maintain and upgrade.

The original kit expects a NiMH 7.2V pack and mechanical ESC. If you fit LiPo, upgrade the ESC and wiring to handle the higher voltage and safety requirements.
Yes, you can fit aftermarket tyres with a 165mm diameter to tailor grip and wear for local track surfaces.
The plastic chassis is resilient for casual bashing, but heavy competitive use may benefit from metal upgrades or reinforced parts to reduce flex.
Try slightly stiffer shock springs up front, adjust tyre pressure or compound, and experiment with gear ratios to balance speed and turn-in on tighter tracks.
