Wild Dagger: Tamiya 58231 in the Dirt

The Tamiya 58231 Wild Dagger brings a rugged 1/10 monster truck layout to hobbyists who want a straightforward, serviceable platform. Its twin motors and 4WD drivetrain give confident traction on grass, gravel and farm tracks, while the kit format encourages tuning and part swaps.

Twin 540s for Solid Pull

Equipped with two 540 stock motors, the Wild Dagger produces reliable torque for climbs and loose surfaces. The mechanical speed control keeps things simple for those who prefer analogue setups, and users often swap one or both motors for reverse rotation units to fine tune handling.

Sturdy Layout for Rough Use

The truck uses a modified TL01/TL01B chassis with an ABS monocoque shell to protect internals during hard landings. Front and rear double wishbone arms paired with coil-spring shocks soak up impacts effectively, although the shocks are not oil-filled dampers.

Easy to Modify

The integrated sealed gearbox is straightforward to work on and accepts a range of pinion gears. The kit includes an 18T pinion gear as standard; fitting a 20T raises top speed, while lower tooth counts boost acceleration and torque for tight tracks.

This Wild Dagger suits tinkerers and casual bashers alike, delivering a balance of toughness and upgrade potential that makes it rewarding to own and develop.

The setup excels on grass, packed dirt and gravel tracks; oversized tyres help on soft ground but avoid deep mud which can overload the drivetrain.
Yes, adding foam inserts improves tyre stability and responsiveness; choose inserts that match the 130mm tyre size to preserve handling balance.
Spare parts for the TL01/TL01B based platform are widely available, and many components are interchangeable with other Tamiya kits using the same chassis family.
For tighter tracks consider lower tooth pinions for stronger acceleration; a 20T pinion will increase top speed for more open layouts.
