The Tamiya 58205 Mad Bull is a classic 1/10 scale buggy that appeals to hobbyists who favour robust, easy-to-maintain machines. With its bold tyre profile and uncomplicated 2WD architecture, it offers a reliable platform for exploring off-road tracks and experimenting with upgrades.
The suspension and tyre combination is aimed at consistent handling on challenging surfaces. The 115mm tyres and long coil spring shocks absorb impacts and preserve traction across gravel, turf and dirt sections. The ABS monocoque frame gives a solid, damage-resistant base for spirited driving.
Driven by a 540 Type motor, the Mad Bull provides steady and predictable performance for recreational runs. The 9.33:1 gear ratio delivers a sensible compromise between acceleration and torque, and the 2WD drivetrain minimises moving parts for easier servicing.
Hobbyists can enhance handling and speed by swapping suspension parts, upgrading the motor or fitting different tyres. Remember that the radio control unit is not included so you can select a transmitter system to match your setup.
The Tamiya Mad Bull strikes a balance between durability and customisation potential. It is a practical choice for club racers and weekend bashers who want a straightforward chassis with room to grow.
