cool steerig mod for the tamiya mad bull
heres a mod for the mad bull that is very very cheap but very very effective, on the front lower arms, (where they connect under the bumper) they slot into the chassis and have a lot of free play in them, i found that the rubber end cap that came with my earial tube just about slides over them and makes them much much more rigid in the chassis, stops all that wobbl in the steering. just thought id pass that on, might work on some older more worn lunchboxes, hornet, frog etc as they have the same kind of lower arm set up on the front.

A truggy is a 1/8 scale buggy converted to a truck by means of a longer chassis, longer a-arms, and MT tires. It has 3 diffs, and is single speed, and 4wd

Not electric haters, truggy lovers. That is not a truggy. Truggies with brushless lipo systems are cool! Truggies with brushless NiMh are cool. I'm sorry but that thing looks like it came from Radio Shack.

If you know your rc history, you know that the Mad Bull is an older tamiya model. If it looks like RS, it's because RS copied it

Truggies are not meant for drag racing they are designed to be run on a dirt track and go over jumps. But my sons TC3 with brushless and lipos can drag!

Didn't kill my motor, just bought another one. Broke because I landed out on the lid. Changed the elbo to 90 degrees so it sits a little below the shock towers. What was your issue with it though?

RE: cool steerig mod for the tamiya mad bull
My issue with it is if you take the inside filter out the screen scraps the dirt off of it and it falls into the opening of the tube and the dirt that was sitting on the out side of the screen falls inside the cage and when you push the filter back in it shoves the dirt into the tube.
I had dirt get into my motor that way, the first day I used it. I've had several people tell me that those filters have smoked there motors. There is no outer filter for the end screen and the end foam on mine was super thin. not much protection.
I went back to the stock filter, have never had it fail. I even oiled the outer filter on the Motor saver.

Yeah, Maniac, I know. My point was that technology has advanced quite a bit since the release of that thing.
