Tamiya MudMad 1:24 RC (SW-01) Build Kit
Mad for It!
This assembly kit creates the compact yet highly characterful MudMad, an R/C model with a body inspired by full-size cross country vehicles, that is the brainchild of world-renowned design heavyweight Yamazaki Takayuki. It is moulded in lightweight polycarbonate, and to ease the burden on its owner is pre-painted in light blue with wheel arches pre-cut and body mount holes made. The model is based upon the gear-driven 4WD SW-01 chassis, which employs gear differentials front and rear and offers superlatively tight turns. Slam on the throttle to perform wheelies or the brakes for exciting jackknife moves; this big tire model is your passport to some serious fun!
SW-01: Super-Compact 4WD
190mm long and 160mm wide, the SW-01 is a compact, highly fun 4WD chassis. A Type 370 motor is central in the slim monocoque frame, with gears transmitting its output to the front and rear of the model, where 69mm tires translate it into a powerful drive. The chassis power source is mounted in the top section to allow wild wheelies under acceleration. Strut type 4-wheel independent coil-sprung suspension utilizes single piece upper arms to link left and right wheel steering motion, helping suppress roll during turns, and together with front and rear differentials realize a tight turning circle.
