Inside the Tamiya Rowdy Bull FM-A Chassis

The Tamiya Rowdy Bull is a standout Mini 4WD kit built around the FM-A chassis. This compact model blends purposeful styling with engineering aimed at hobbyists who want both a solid base and room to refine handling and speed.

Aggressive Off-Road Looks and Aerodynamics

• Dampers: Installation of dampers for enhanced handling on rough tracks

Easy Assembly and Track Compatibility

Assembly uses a simple snap-fit approach that appeals to new builders while still rewarding experienced tuners. The kit fits standard Mini 4WD track layouts and adapts well to common race formats.
