Reviving the Classic: Tamiya 18056 Mad Bull Junior Super TZ Model Kit

The Tamiya 18056 Mad Bull Junior is a re-release of a beloved classic from the Mini 4WD series. Originally debuting in 2003, this model captures the spirit of its larger 1/10 scale R/C counterpart with its distinctive body design and striking color scheme. Built on the Super TZ-X chassis, this model offers excellent straight-line stability thanks to its long wheelbase and aerodynamic underbody.

Chassis and Performance Features

The Super TZ-X chassis is renowned for its balance between speed and stability. It features a flat underside to enhance aerodynamic performance and a wing-shaped side guard that contributes to high-speed stability. The adjustable gear ratios, available in 5:1 and 4:1, allow builders to fine-tune the model's speed and power to suit different racing conditions.

Design and Assembly

The Mad Bull Junior's body is molded in black ABS plastic, featuring red-toned graphics that echo its R/C predecessor. The vibrant yellow wheels and black tires add a touch of flair, while the snap-together assembly ensures that even novice builders can complete the model without needing adhesive. Included are body stickers for added detail, and assembly requires only basic tools such as a small Phillips screwdriver and plastic modeling side cutters.
