About the Bullhead Junior model

The Bullhead Junior brings a bold monster truck look to the Wild Mini 4WD family. It appeals to collectors and casual racers who want a standout style without complex modifications.

Bold Truck Aesthetics

True to its name, the body sports an oversized truck form with added molded details like an air cleaner and muffler to increase visual interest. The tyres measure 52mm across with a 31mm width, contributing to its chunky, toy-inspired look.

Chassis and Powertrain

The model uses a simple chassis with a centrally located motor driving both front and rear wheels through a sidewinder gear train. This layout offers steady, balanced performance for everyday track layouts.

Assembly and Practical Use

Its snap-together design avoids the need for cement, making assembly straightforward. While not built for competitive speed runs, the Bullhead Junior is perfect for relaxed racing and club-style events.

Specifications

  • Body Style: Truck Type
  • Tire Dimensions: 52mm Diameter, 31mm Width
  • Assembly: Snap-fit, No Cement Required

The Tamiya Bullhead Junior delivers eye-catching style and easy assembly, a great match for hobbyists seeking a low fuss Mini 4WD build.

Ordered quite a lot of stuff from these guys & the packaging & condition of the items delivered was excellent. The service is second to none & I will definitely buy from these again.
Routine checks include cleaning gears, ensuring shafts rotate freely and replacing worn tyres. Light lubrication of moving parts keeps the model running smoothly.
The large tyres help absorb minor bumps, but the chassis is best used on even surfaces and club tracks rather than very rough terrain.
Painting is optional but recommended for a personalised look. Use paints suitable for Mini 4WD bodies and mask mounting points to preserve fit.
Yes, many standard tyre options fit if they match the 52mm diameter and 31mm width. Verify clearance before making changes.
The kit runs on two R6/AA/UM3 alkaline batteries. High quality cells will give more consistent run times during club events.
