Tamiya DT-01/02/03 Project #4: Tamiya Mad Bull (DT-01) Chassis & Electronics!

- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- Welcome to Episode 4 of the Tamiya DT-01, DT-02 and DT-03 Project: Unboxings, Builds, Upgrades and Comparison!
In this series we will be building the Tamiya Mad Bull 58205 (DT-01 Chassis), the Tamiya Sand Viper 58374 (DT-02 Chassis) and the Tamiya Racing Fighter 58628 (DT-03 Chassis) and do comparisons and a number of upgrades along the way. We might even have a look at some of the Grasshoppers, Hornets and a few other DT Buggies along the way.
Whenever I have a video for this series, it will be available Sunday. Whenever I have two, one more video will be available sometime during the week.
None of the buggies will be build stock and this video series is not intended for instructional purposes. Every detail of all three buggies have already been carefully planned and all optional parts and electronics have already been selected and purchased.
There will be none of the usual guiding and explanatory texts in the videos, no color optimization and no time lapse. Videos are only targeted at fellow Tamiya fans. Sometimes it's time to let the raw images speak for themselves and just enjoy the RC car. The world is hurting and spinning faster and faster. People are suffering. But a little hobby time can allow us a short welcomed break from it all. Some peace. Sit back and relax. Pure RC building ... with a little music added (feel free to turn down the volume of the video and put on your own favorite music while you are watching).
Hope you will follow along! Next episode coming up soon!

Thanks a lot Mikael, it's always a pleasure watching you making a build. I've got to restore my old mad fighter soon, so it's nice to see the way you go. Thanks again and carry on like this, these DT series vids are a real success, take care !
Thanks, Alex! Always a pleasure to get a comment from you. And thank you very much for the encouragement. Appreciate it very much. Uhh, lucky you, a Mad Fighter :-) I need to get one too, some day :-)
So satisfying. Love it!
Thank you so much! Hope it was relaxing 🙂
Nordic RC Visions I can watch these all day. Thank you for such an amazing experience.
Thank you so much for the kind feedback, bro.
The Mad Bull is fun to drive, you'll have a great time running it!
I’m looking forward to it 🙂 Thanks a lot for tuning in, my friend.
My cup of tea? Oh Yes - definitely Mikael! Analogue radio gear? NiMh battery? Feels like my workshop. And did I see you use my shock filling trick - did it work for you? :)) Loved watching this build my friend, the whole series is my cup of tea - thanks for sharing! :))
👍👍👍
Oh my ... The whole idea was to ad a card with a link to your video. But somehow I forgot to add all links/cards, including my own :-) Corrected now. Thanks for the tip, Mark. Yeah, promised I would try it so here are the result. And yes, absolutely no rebound at all, so I am guessing no air and I am guessing it worked :-) Maybe it is the best shock oil tip around on youtube these days :-) I even let them sit for a while to make sure (just the time it took to build the chassis). And thanks a lot for watching, mate. Yeah, we are going old school and analogue (also the servo) with this one. Mark Bryan Style ;-) Well, maybe even beyond Mark Bryan here, since there are no brushless motors here ;-)
@@NordicRC Cheers mate! Loving the whole "old school" vibe! And yeah, even I move into the modern world now and again with brushless - but not all the time! Wishing you a lovely evening, Mikael! :))
Yeah, sometimes I really really enjoy going old school, and sometimes even near-stock. To capture the essence of the 1980s and my childhood :-) (even though I had no Tamiyas back then)
Wishing you a lovely evening too, Mark.
@@NordicRC I am certainly with you on that sentiment, Mikael! :)
Nice project....and good video realisation, with appropriate music...see you next time 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks, buddy! See you next time 🙂
I haven't thought thoroughly but just placed a 3650 motor with a 120 ESC in it. They were originally installed in Wltoys 144002-RTR, but I throw Wltoys away because the Central drive shaft has stuck into differential gears after minor crashes. The Mad Bull gives me a lot of fun, and I don't need to concern so much about replacement because the price of the differential gear set is cheap. The differential gear has still spilled out dark silicone shock oil though it is 500000CS.
Good Car.
Hi Ray! Sounds like a fast Mad Bull! Ahh, yeah, use grease instead of diff/shock oil. The diffs are not sealed so not meant for oil.
Did I just have a religious experience? Great vid bro.
Ha ha, thanks, Steve. Hope it was a relaxing experience as well 🙂
I have three grasshopper II’s (all built from spare parts scraped together) and a new Madbull (built from an actual kit). I have never used that wire steering servo link for any of them, opting to substitute it for ball ends and a small tie rod. It’s so much better than standard, it’s amazing that tamiya never opted for this simple setup.
Nice! Yeah, I noticed a lot of play with that steering linkage too. So one day it will definitely be substituted by a tie rod 🙂 But wanna try the DT-01 set-up almost stock before 🙂
I'm not sure I'm a fan of that car, but your recording and editing skills makes this particular video one of my favourites. I'm quite stunned frankly. I'm hoping you will repeat last years christmas calendar :)
Hi Tore! Yeah, I think this is one of the Tamiyas that one is into or not. But maybe you'll like my version. It will be a bit different. And thanks a lot for the nice words. Really appreciate. No, well, I had planned everything for the calendar. But all this FTC and COPPA and RUclips (if you have heard about it) has put my motivation down quite a bit, I'm afraid. Not for the hobby, but all the hours of editing and filming :-) So no calendar this year, and maybe no Nordic RC Visions next year. Keep on RC'ing :-)
@@NordicRC Yeah, I heard about that. I really do hope that you won't take down the channel. Atleast don't decide to do so too soon. We're alot of people fancying your work. I will watch the christmas calendar again this year. That one brought me the right christmas feeling :)
that sure is a weird one!! Those Awanfi Nims are pretty good they fit most everything. Nice build.
Ha ha, yeah, 1991 Hopper Design 🙂 Yeah, I remember we talked about the Awanfi 3600 mah before. Biggest NiMH battery that fits in nearly all my ‘old’ Tamiya battery compartments 🙂
Great !
Thanks, bro!
Looks like a beast!
A beast of a 2WD buggy designed almost thirty years ago 🙂 Looking forward trying it out.
Thank you for making us dream
Thank you many times for watching the series, Syl Carl. Appreciate it :-)
Good job! One problem is now I have to get one.....this video was made me relax, and I haven't built anything like the Mad Bull yet. How is your work bench so clean? One last thing to mention.....your a wizard with the set-up of the ESC. I swear everytime I try to set up a receiver, it's as if I've never done it before. Great video! 👍
Thanks a lot! My first DT-01 too 🙂 Ahh, I just clean it. And for the real messy stuff I use a matt or my workshop. I don’t like to build new cars in a messy set up 🙂 Ha ha, well, about the ESC calibration and the other electronic set ups, it’s the power of editing. Remember, nothing in these videos goes as smooth as it seems 😂😅🤣
More nice work Mikael :)
Thank you, Michael! And thanks for the continuous support, my friend.
The DT-01 wishbones and bumper made in a very durable plastic. Strange they have changed to colour of the plastic on the front shock tower and battery holders from black. But fitting a large battery is a issue in these.
yeah, seems very flexible and durable. All these hoppers are so durable. Uhh, they used to be black? From the pictures of the old Mad Bull online they seem the same grey as this one.
@@NordicRC Thinking of the wrong car as I did have some black parts on one.
How sturdy is the chassis? The joint between the chassis and the drive train unit looks mighty flimsy. In the event of the suspension bottoming out or a bad landing with the chassis on a rock, would the chassis snap in two? It seems like the joint would wear out just under normal usage.
These hoppers are actually quite durable. Never had one brake on me, and I think I got 9-10 hoppers/hornets or more.
Another Great Video 😎👍🏻🇦🇺 Rcactionaustralia 🇦🇺
Thanks a lot, buddy!
Nice relaxing build with my coffee bro, That has to be the easiest hobby grade build ever!! For the lipo to work look into Venom batteries they have a lipo that I use in the same shape as the NIMH and the plugs are center mounted.I like the CVA upgrade bud please tell me you are not using those bushing thou. I absolutely love this series Mikael ☺️
Thanksa lot, Chris! Yeah, even with the CVA's it was quick and easy. Just like a Grasshopper/Hornet :-) The only thing that took some time, was filming it (setting up cameras, camera angles etc etc.). Yeah, I've heard about the Venom batteries. Maybe I aught to check them out. I just dislike having all these 'special batteries'. The pile of different batteries are growing and growing. Ha ha, no, no bushings here, but they are included in the package. The Gear Box in part 1 was build with extra metal ball bearings and steel pinion. Essential :-)
@@NordicRC Very true bud, It's easy to forget the time it takes to make your videos so clear and entertaining. The camera angles and lighting plus the editing process. Which is spot on by the way..lol Anyways I didn't think you would actually use the bushings..lol As for the batteries I definitely understand, I have 9 lipo's but only 3 are for special needs. 2 for the Arrma and 1 for my Yokomo YZ10 All the others swap in all my vehicles. The Venom ones just are the easiest..lol Looking forward to more of the DT series bro it's awesome 😎👍
I’ve got one question do you know how to upgrade / fix the really poorly designed steering with the piece of what looks like piano wire on the mad bull? Recently it has started getting very loose and also unpredictable what happens.
Yeah, switch it to a turn buckle or just a threaded shaft with rod ends and ball ends. Should work better.
Grasshoper II vs Mad Bull ? Any specific detail difference please ?
Everything is different 😉 Wouldn’t know where to start … but the same general Hopper suspension set-up, so overall, the same kind of performance and the same kind of fun. Stock wise the GH2 comes with a 380 motor and the DT-01 with a 540 motor but that can be changed easily of course
@@NordicRC noted..thank you, just bid new MB...i think it can be more fun and plan to use buggy tires..
🌌🔭✨This is out in space meditation☝️😔😔😔
Is that a good thing or bad thing? :-)
@@NordicRC That was ment as a positive compliment😉
Thank you very much ☺️
Hello! Again coffee and NRV :D
Hello, Cosmo! Coffee and Tamiya, one of my favorite combos too 😁
@@NordicRC Oooh, the Racing Fighter :) Two Neos coming soon if the post strike ends.
There's got to be a way for you to use a lipo on there.
Yeah, a smaller soft pack will probably fit good enough.
I have an old Mad Bull RC car 1997
Nice, the original one. This one is the same number, but obvious more of a re-release/re-production with the ESC and all that.
Why are you using an am transmitter and receiver?
It will match some of my other Hoppers 🙂
I think you will need stronger servo to turn those wheels.
Are you going to take my advice and put a 20-17t brushed motors on it?
Nope 🙂 Got other plans.
@@NordicRC what are those other plans?
I will show you in the final build video :-)
So you're not using those pogo stick shocks on it.
There are 3 different colors of plastic on it.
ZZZZzzzz....
Please don't use those plastic bushes on it.
