Tamiya 17008 - 1/32 Wild Mini 4WD Bullhead Junior Kit - Compact truck themed Mini 4WD  [17008]

Overview of the Bullhead Junior

The Tamiya Bullhead Junior stands out in the Wild Mini 4WD range with its toy-like monster truck appearance. It is aimed at hobbyists who enjoy a distinctive scale look without complex tuning hassles.

Distinctive Truck Body

The bodywork adopts a whimsical truck silhouette, complete with separately molded accessories like an air cleaner and muffler to add depth. Large diameter tyres, sized 52mm by 31mm, give it an upright, playful profile ideal for display or casual running.

Simple Chassis Design

The model uses a basic chassis layout with a centre-mounted motor and a sidewinder gear drive to both axles. This straightforward arrangement provides predictable handling and easy maintenance for regular use.

Assembly Notes and Use Case

Snap-fit assembly means glue is not required, so builders can assemble quickly and start testing on typical Mini 4WD circuits. While not designed for hardcore racing, it works well for club meets and hobbyist showcases.

The Bullhead Junior is a charming addition for collectors and casual racers who prefer a fun, easy-to-build Mini 4WD.
