Mammoth Dump Truck - Wild Mini 4WD with chunky off-road styling

The Tamiya 17013 Mammoth Dump Truck stands out in the Wild Mini 4WD line with its truck-like silhouette and playful construction theme. It is well suited to hobbyists who want a relaxed build and a display-ready model.

Heavy Hauler Inspired Bodywork

The sculpted body echoes full-size construction haulers, complete with a practical-looking dump bed. The styling focuses on convincing proportions and a fun visual presence for shelves or casual layouts.

Chassis Layout and Drive Details

This kit uses a purpose-built Wild Mini 4WD chassis engineered for simple assembly and durability. The motor is mounted centrally, driving both axles via a sidewinder gear arrangement to keep power balanced across the front and rear.

Build Process and Personalisation Notes

Parts are mainly snap-fit so no adhesive is required, making the build approachable for newcomers. While not aimed at competitive racing, the Mammoth Dump Truck has room for cosmetic customisation and themed detailing. The oversized tyres emphasise its off-road look more than lap-time performance.

Specifications

  • Body Style: Truck Type
  • Chassis Type: Specialized for Wild Mini 4WD
  • Tire Size: 52mm Diameter, 31mm Width

Overall, the Tamiya Mammoth Dump Truck offers a fun, low-stress project for collectors and hobbyists who value style and simple construction over speed.

The Mammoth Dump Truck looks and performs best on flat indoor floors, display tracks, or light carpet. Its tyres are more about appearance than off-road grip on rough terrain.
The Wild Mini 4WD series focuses on casual builds, so major performance upgrades are limited. Minor gear or motor swaps are possible but may require fitting adjustments.
Yes, the dump bed is designed to tilt, adding an interactive feature that enhances display realism.
