The Tamiya 58205 Mad Bull has earned its place among RC buggies for drivers wanting a tough, no-fuss off-roader. This 1/10 scale kit pairs a robust look with practical engineering, making it a solid pick for newcomers and experienced hobbyists who like straightforward mechanical layouts and big tyre traction. Its oversized tyres and simple 2WD layout create a distinctive driving feel on loose surfaces.
The Mad Bull focuses on durability and user-friendly setup. The large 115mm diameter tyres work with long coil spring shocks to soak up bumps and jumps, giving confident handling across gravel, grass and uneven trails. The ABS monocoque frame adds rigidity and impact resistance for regular off-road use.
Power comes from a 540 Type motor that delivers consistent, predictable performance suited to casual racing and backyard running. With a 9.33:1 gear ratio, the drivetrain balances torque and acceleration for controllable starts and mid-speed manoeuvres. The simple 2WD arrangement keeps maintenance straightforward and parts accessible.
The kit is built to be upgraded: swap motors, tweak suspension or change tyres to match your driving style. The radio control unit is sold separately so you can pick a transmitter and receiver to suit your needs and preferences.
The Tamiya Mad Bull is a practical, adaptable buggy that suits a wide range of hobbyists. Its sturdy construction and ease of maintenance make it a reliable base for personal upgrades or straightforward RC enjoyment on varied off-road surfaces.
