Wild Dagger Breakdown by Tamiya

The Tamiya 58231 Wild Dagger is a serious contender in the 1/10 monster truck scene. Built around a tough, user-friendly platform, this kit delivers a 4WD driving experience with a dual-motor configuration that balances power and durability for those who want to tackle rough trails and backyard tracks.

Twin Motors for Real Traction

This model uses two 540 stock motors to generate strong torque and dependable speed across uneven ground. The twin-motor layout works with a mechanical speed control for straightforward power management. The included motors are standard rotation, but swapping to reverse rotation types is a common upgrade for improved driveline balance.

Durable Chassis for Bashing

The Wild Dagger rides on a modified TL01/TL01B chassis with an ABS monocoque frame designed to withstand hard landings. It features front and rear double wishbone suspension with coil-spring shocks that cope well with jumps and rough surfaces even though the shocks are not oil-filled.

Tuning and Upgrade Options

Customization is simple thanks to a sealed gearbox that sits neatly in the frame and supports multiple pinion gear choices. The kit ships with an 18T pinion; fitting a 20T will increase top speed, while other gear options let you tune for more torque or better acceleration.

For RC fans wanting a rugged, upgradeable truck, the Tamiya Wild Dagger delivers balanced power and a straightforward path to performance improvements without breaking the bank.
