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 🙂
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
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!!!!!
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
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 😁
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.
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 ✈🚂🚙
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
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 😂🤩
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@TAMIYALegends awwwww awesome greg.... you reply super quick.... i'd love to do a mod build with you if you were still in the uk , or what's left of it :) x
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.
I'm the same with tamiya. I get so excited like I'm 10 years old again. Brings back good old memories every time
I love the mad bull .when fitted with decent shocks servo and get rid of the wire servo arm its awesome lol.
Love show pics not a clue how .
I love the back pivot mount on the madbull makes it a good crawler too with oil shocks.
Love the smell of those new tyres! Sorry I'm an addict.

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

Absolutely agree 😊

Nice build 👍🏻 I like how your creating your own version ......awesome
RC Bro
Thanks buddy, I’m doing a few like this at the moment, it’s actually more fun 🤩👊🏻

Stops the gearbox slamming upwards and locking the travel upon acceleration. Actually works quite good
Lee Hurst
Cool I’ll really looking forward to running this one 😊👊🏻
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 😎

Sweet it’s finished now and I have to say it’s pretty cool 😎
Thanks for watching buddy
Does any body know if you can get metal gears for the mad bull
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 😁

Hmmm 🤔 I’m not sure on 🤷🏼♂️
Is it possible to turn the Pogo shocks into oil-filled shocks?
I love it , going to be epic !

I gave a Mad Bull to my niece and nephew for christmas a few years ago.
Grumpy Modeler
Did you ever run it? I’m really curious to see just how they perform 🤔🤷🏼♂️🚗💨💨💨
@@TAMIYALegends No, I live in Norway and they live in England. I haven't seen it.

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

Yes you’re spot on my friend, the DT-01 is the last of the Hopoer chassis’s 👊🏻
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.
Whoop whoop 🙌 👍🏻😉 let’s see if I built mine wrong 🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣
Paul Russell
Lol 😂 I don’t think that’s possible with this kit 😂
Thanks for watching Paul 👊🏻
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 .
Stick some weight in the front. Should improve steering and reduce those bloody wheelies. Could allow a 3S
Alan Morris
Not sure I’ll get the traction over here for a wheelie lol 🥶🥶🥶

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 😊
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 😎🚗💨💨💨
@@TAMIYALegends nah it chewed up grass like a fresien heffer lol......
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.
The rear pivot means that the suspension actually works under acceleration
Lee Hurst
It’s now fitted with the CVA’s which is a huge difference 😊
I've fitted the back wheel conversion too 1/8 wheels gives better stance and grip.
Me too fella alot better.
You better glue the tires or the damn brushless motor is gonna fling all four into the weeds 😆😆😆
mitymike 1996
Pmsl 😂 love it 🤩
2:08 Monster buggy ;)
Linus Lundgren
Yeah that works for me 🤩👊🏻
Not much you can do for the play in the stock steering. Works fine though when driving
Lee Hurst
Cool I’d heard it was a problem Lee, but I’ll now try it stock first buddy👊🏻
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!
TheStuffz
Sounds like the previous owner had a lot of fun with it 🚗💨💨

That literally made me chuckle out loud 😂👊🏻
NJP Made 😬. I do worry about the thickness of the lubricant and the stiffness of the ride.
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.

@@TAMIYALegends hey ho buddy..... at least your happy and doin your thing, which we your viewers and subs love very much......
Make it rip Glen it will be a beast with those brushless motors.
Brad Kalman
I’m hoping so Brad 😬🚗💨💨💨
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.
Brad Kalman
You need to check out my last video Brad 😊👊🏻
So do I share that sentiment.
Glenn don't forget the anterior crease in the depths so it be acting like a limited slip diff.
You should see the mud mad 1/24 truck.
It's a monster buggy.
Brad Kalman
Love it 😎👊🏻
Yeah but you have a fighter buggy there I know that they very similar.
