Experience the Rugged Charm of Tamiya MudMad
For RC enthusiasts seeking a compact yet thrilling off-road experience, the Tamiya MudMad offers an exciting ride on the versatile SW-01 chassis. Designed by the renowned Takayaki Yamazaki, this model draws inspiration from robust off-road vehicles, blending Tamiya's signature creativity with innovative engineering.
The SW-01 Chassis: Compact Powerhouse
The SW-01 chassis is a marvel of compact engineering. At just 190mm in length and 150mm in width, it houses a central Type 370 motor in a sleek monocoque frame. This setup delivers power to all four wheels through a gear-driven system, ensuring both front and rear tires grip the terrain with authority. The chassis's unique design places the power source on top, enabling impressive wheelies during acceleration, making every drive a spectacle of fun and agility.
Innovative Design and Performance
The MudMad's lightweight polycarbonate body is magnet-secured for easy attachment and detachment, pre-painted in a striking PS-3 Light Blue. Its design allows the body to lean dynamically, creating tight turning circles and minimizing roll—a crucial feature for maintaining stability and control during high-speed maneuvers.
Advanced Suspension and Steering
Equipped with strut-type four-wheel independent coil sprung suspension, the MudMad excels at managing tough terrains. The suspension system uses single-piece upper arms to synchronize left and right wheel steering motions, effectively suppressing roll during sharp turns. The inclusion of front and rear differentials further enhances its tight turning capabilities, making it a dream to handle for both novices and experienced drivers.
