tamiya frog Thanks man 😊👊🏻

[@NordicRC]

Love your excitement and giggles, my friend 🙂 Spot on. The right attitude for this build. I enjoyed mine very much, although I went the classic hopper way with it. Some day I will definitely put on the stock wheels and tires and have some fun with it 🙂

[@TAMIYALegends]

Dave Pearce Oh great buddy 😊👊🏻 I’ve not run it yet, but all the guy who do love them 🤩🚗💨💨

[@wadebeaumont7570]

Nothing like slightly over powering a basic buggy and then giving it a good thrashing to see what it can take! Good simple fun.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Wade Beaumont Absolutely agree 😊 Thanks for watching 👊🏻

[@TAMIYALegends]

DustyFingers Sweet it’s finished now and I have to say it’s pretty cool 😎 Thanks for watching buddy

[@leehurst6922]

Stops the gearbox slamming upwards and locking the travel upon acceleration. Actually works quite good

[@TAMIYALegends]

Lee Hurst Cool I’ll really looking forward to running this one 😊👊🏻

[@TAMIYALegends]

Glad to see this, I always thought it was just a 'hopper with big wheels.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Eric Zajac It’s the last of the Hopper family 🤩👊🏻

[@darrengrimmer8541]

Love it Glen. Really good to see you have started it!!! As I said at Christmas I’m gonna try and follow you with mine. Couldn’t agree more on the point. Forget they are a budget model..... they are just great fun......... and it doesn’t matter if they get bashed about!!!!!

[@TAMIYALegends]

Darren Grimmer Excellent Darren 🤩. Let me know if you want to see it finished? I can email you some pics or just wait for the next instalment 😉 Thanks for watching buddy

That's probably the most unusual Tamiya build I've seen.

[@TAMIYALegends]

stephen manley Absolutely agree Stephen 😊 Thanks for watching buddy 👊🏻

[@tahustvedt]

I gave a Mad Bull to my niece and nephew for christmas a few years ago.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Grumpy Modeler Did you ever run it? I’m really curious to see just how they perform 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️🚗💨💨💨

[@tahustvedt]

@@TAMIYALegends No, I live in Norway and they live in England. I haven't seen it.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Grumpy Modeler Oh wow you’re in Norway 🇳🇴 wow that’s a beautiful place my friend 🤩👊🏻

[@PeteWylieRC]

Oh that thing is going to fly with the brushless set in. I think that the gearing is quite high as my mates one goes way quicker than my lunchbox with the same brushless set. These are great fun. Nice build so far 😁

[@TAMIYALegends]

Pete Wylie RC Videos Thanks buddy 😊👊🏻

[@ksjflksj]

Love the passion, I also enjoyed buillding mine! When the weather allows me I will post some driving video's love your Channel BTW

Looking forward to seeing your version of this Frankenstein 😁 I'm doing a Mad Bull with budget BL with 10T too! Am keen to show you my progress too 😎

David Cotter Cheers David, can’t wait to run this one 😊🚗💨💨🥶💨 Thanks for watching buddy

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

Mad Rabbit.... MAD Glenn!!! 😳😜😎💖 Really can't wait to see what you did to it. It's kind of sad really... $135 USD + $14 for Bearings..... For everyone else, cheap as chips. I've really wanted this Buggy for a long time. $150.00.... No way I can get it. 💔😞 asked for it for Christmas, even went as far as asking my friends, giving them my PayPal Link.... Embarrassing and unfruitful. I haven't been able to afford a new RC since 2014. 😭 I keep hoping my luck will change. Nope. Anyway, sorry to bore you with that. I've never seen a Rapid Rabbit, and the cross with the Mad Bull AND Brushless Power.... Can only be EPIC!!! 😎👍👍 I'll be looking forward to seeing it done, and especially a running Video of that BEAST!! Carmine ✈🚂🚙

[@TAMIYALegends]

PoorManRC Well it’s finished now my friend and I hope you like it 🤩 Thanks for watching 👊🏻

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

@@TAMIYALegends I'm sure I will!!

Go 1/8 back wheel conversion on armour wheels tyres.im running 8.4v 5000nimh on my grandsons mad bull tottaly stock but 17t pinion,ftx shocks all round ballraced just like mine.so much fun and lasts for ages.

[@sonny_z900]

The Hornet has a bit of the same way of pivoting the gearbox , as I can remember from way back there were some springs in it to. Of course they break. lol. Tires seems a lot like from the lunchbox.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Sonny Yes you’re spot on my friend, the DT-01 is the last of the Hopoer chassis’s 👊🏻

[@kris9245]

Hey, great video. I’m looking at getting a Madbull for my 8yo who loves RC cars. For now all he’s used are Amazon specials. Would you recommend the Madbull as a beginners car? Or any other Tamyia? I’ll build it for him, and he’ll be racing it mainly off road. Thanks

[@paulrussell2029]

Whoop whoop 🙌 👍🏻😉 let’s see if I built mine wrong 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣🤣

[@TAMIYALegends]

Paul Russell Lol 😂 I don’t think that’s possible with this kit 😂 Thanks for watching Paul 👊🏻

[@carlbudd341]

Got a madbull took a year build lol.ftx vantage shocks motor full ballraceced .8.4v 5000nimiha on stock lecky custom shell 2x 2w search lights .

i put lunchbox esq wheels on my burns 1/8th ic ...... it was epic........

chloe devereaux Lol I bet it was 😂. Sounds like great fun 😎🚗💨💨💨

[@chloedevereaux1801]

@@TAMIYALegends nah it chewed up grass like a fresien heffer lol......

[@carlbudd341]

I've fitted the back wheel conversion too 1/8 wheels gives better stance and grip.

[@carlbudd341]

Me too fella alot better.

[@jacobkaiser3507]

Does anyone know, can I put a madbull transmission on a grasshopper chassis? I am not sure if there are any modifications I would need to do. Thanks. Great video as well.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Jacob Kaiser Hmmm 🤔 I’m not sure on 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@mitymike]

You better glue the tires or the damn brushless motor is gonna fling all four into the weeds 😆😆😆

[@TAMIYALegends]

mitymike 1996 Pmsl 😂 love it 🤩

[@leehurst6922]

The rear pivot means that the suspension actually works under acceleration

[@TAMIYALegends]

Lee Hurst It’s now fitted with the CVA’s which is a huge difference 😊

[@carlbudd341]

I've taken the servo wire control arm out made a better one out off scraps from vantage 2.0 also the shocks fitt straight on ball cups the lot drives like a champ.

[@alanmorris8783]

Stick some weight in the front. Should improve steering and reduce those bloody wheelies. Could allow a 3S

[@TAMIYALegends]

Alan Morris Not sure I’ll get the traction over here for a wheelie lol 🥶🥶🥶

[@rockrollarc9792]

Does any body know if you can get metal gears for the mad bull

[@chloedevereaux1801]

put the cva's on the inner most mount on the lower wishbone, improves handling dramatically.... also does tamyia grease still smell like prawns????? odd question i know but the old 80's molybdium greas smelled like seafood..... :D

[@TAMIYALegends]

chloe devereaux Yes I’ve made that change when I fitted the new shocks on it, those shocks make a hell of a difference lol 😂 Regarding the smell 😂. No it’s not something I’ve noticed, but now you’ve said that, I’ll have to check 😂🤩

[@chloedevereaux1801]

@@TAMIYALegends seriously the old speed controller grease pongs of fish........... i tasted it once to be sure...... blllleeeeearrrggggg hhh lol :)

[@bradkalman2353]

Glenn the way you're talking about this bugging and I would feel the same way if you did think the way I'm thinking about this I think this could be one of them next 102 miles that will be considered vintage one day and you said maybe not the one but the way you're talking about it maybe it will the next 100 vintage.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Brad Kalman I’m really liking this idea of the next 100 🤔. I need to think about it and see if I could do a video on it 😊

[@Linkan83]

2:08 Monster buggy ;)

[@TAMIYALegends]

Linus Lundgren Yeah that works for me 🤩👊🏻

[@thestuffz]

I bought a used Mad Bull. It is so worn out it need a new EVERYTHING. surprised nothing is broken but it was well used! Everything is worn out!

[@TAMIYALegends]

TheStuffz Sounds like the previous owner had a lot of fun with it 🚗💨💨 Thanks for watching buddy

[@scottyhehehe5367]

Is it possible to turn the Pogo shocks into oil-filled shocks?

[@shropshirehistory908]

I call it a truggy 😂

[@globyboulga1045]

Are you like close to ottawa canada?

[@alanmorris8783]

I typed “rookie rabbit” into google. Auto-text kicked in and I searched for “rampant rabbit” instead. At least I now know what to buy the wife for Valentines Day. Should mean that I can spend more time down the pub .... Cock On. 😬 If I upgrade it to 3S I can probably go clubbing as well.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Alan Morris Pmsl 😂😂😂 That literally made me chuckle out loud 😂👊🏻

[@alanmorris8783]

NJP Made 😬. I do worry about the thickness of the lubricant and the stiffness of the ride.

[@bradkalman2353]

Make it rip Glen it will be a beast with those brushless motors.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Brad Kalman I’m hoping so Brad 😬🚗💨💨💨

[@leehurst6922]

Not much you can do for the play in the stock steering. Works fine though when driving

[@TAMIYALegends]

Lee Hurst Cool I’d heard it was a problem Lee, but I’ll now try it stock first buddy👊🏻

[@bradkalman2353]

So do I share that sentiment.

[@bradkalman2353]

Glenn don't forget the anterior crease in the depths so it be acting like a limited slip diff.

[@bradkalman2353]

Glen there's a new comical Buggy out the avante and it's the first one of those that is 4-wheel drive they also have a new Karmann Ghia on the m chassis you might be interested in the they have a brand new 8x4semi and the Terra scorcher is being rered.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Brad Kalman You need to check out my last video Brad 😊👊🏻

[@bradkalman2353]

It's a monster buggy.

[@TAMIYALegends]

Brad Kalman Love it 😎👊🏻

[@bradkalman2353]

You should see the mud mad 1/24 truck.

[@chloedevereaux1801]

that rear shock angle is shockingly terrible and does it have the really ropey front handling probs as the original bull?????????? where the wheels catch on the bumper under tight reversing out of a corner?????????????? either way should still be fun.
