Mad Bull summary for off-road play

The Tamiya 58205 Mad Bull stands out as a straightforward, durable 1/10 scale buggy for hobbyists who enjoy trail running and casual competition. Its chunky tyre profile and simple 2WD construction make it approachable for modelers who want solid traction and a forgiving ride without complex electronics.

Built to Handle Uneven Ground

Engineering for usability is at the core of the Mad Bull. The 115mm tyres pair with long coil spring shocks to smooth impacts and maintain traction on loose surfaces. The ABS monocoque frame provides a tough, unified chassis that resists flex and keeps the layout tidy.

Straightforward Powertrain

Equipped with a 540 Type motor, the Mad Bull gives steady, dependable performance suited to backyard running and club track sessions. The 9.33:1 gearing provides a practical compromise between acceleration and pulling power, while the 2WD setup keeps servicing simple.

Easy to Modify

The kit is designed for hobbyists who like to tinker. You can alter suspension tune, change tyres or fit a different motor to suit your driving preferences. Note that the radio control unit is not included so you can choose your preferred transmitter.
