Trail Ready Truck: Tamiya 43503 Wild Commando

The Tamiya 43503 Wild Commando is a 1/8 scale monster truck built to handle challenging surfaces. Sitting on the TGM-02 chassis, it mixes a military-inspired appearance with chassis components intended for heavy use on uneven ground.

Performance and Build Quality

The model uses a .18 class glow engine that provides strong throttle response for fast runs and jumps. The duralumin deck adds frame stiffness and impact resistance, while eight oil dampers smooth out rough sections.

Dimensions and Stability

At 560mm in length and 425mm in width, the Wild Commando commands presence on track. Its height of 250mm and 360mm wheelbase contribute to a stable centre of gravity and predictable handling.

Steering and Drive Options

Included radio gear supports forward and reverse functionality to aid control in tight spots. The chassis and radio pairing deliver a responsive driving experience for a range of conditions.

Yes, its robust chassis and reliable engine can make it suitable for informal club events, though check local rules on nitro engines and modifications.
Inspect the duralumin deck mounts, shock absorbers and wheel hubs for damage, and verify the engine mount and radio gear are secure before running again.
Yes, the tyre and suspension setup cope well with mixed terrain like grass, gravel and dirt. Consider tyre choice for best traction on specific surfaces.
Regular servicing every few outings, including oil change and seal inspection, will keep the dampers performing consistently.
