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.

  • Body Style: Truck Type
  • Tire Dimensions: 52mm Diameter, 31mm Width
  • Assembly: Snap-fit, No Cement Required

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

Ordered quite a lot of stuff from these guys & the packaging & condition of the items delivered was excellent. The service is second to none & I will definitely buy from these again.
Most hobbyists complete the snap-fit assembly in a single afternoon, depending on painting and detailing time taken between steps.
The chassis accepts common Mini 4WD motors and standard gear sets, but the model is primarily intended for casual use rather than competitive tuning.
Yes, the snap-fit construction and clear instructions make it accessible to newcomers while still offering fun for experienced builders.
