Mammoth Dump Truck - bold off-road Wild Mini 4WD

The Tamiya 17013 Mammoth Dump Truck injects heavy-duty truck styling into the Wild Mini 4WD family. Its strong visual character and easy build make it a fun project for builders who favour style and display.

Truck-Inspired Body and Details

The sculpted cab and functional-looking dump bed reflect real-world haulers, offering a convincing miniature that works well for themed layouts or shelf display.

Engineering and Drive Setup

The kit uses a dedicated Wild Mini 4WD chassis designed for straightforward assembly. The centrally mounted motor plus sidewinder gearing delivers balanced drive to both axles, suited to basic tracks and casual running.

Assembly Ease and Styling Upgrades

Snap-fit construction means no glue is required, which keeps the build tidy and quick. While it is not built for competitive racing, the Mammoth Dump Truck lends itself to paint mods and cosmetic upgrades. The large tyre profile enhances the rugged look more than outright traction.

Specifications

  • Body Style: Truck Type
  • Chassis Type: Specialized for Wild Mini 4WD
  • Tire Size: 52mm Diameter, 31mm Width

For hobbyists seeking a fun, low-effort build with strong visuals, the Tamiya Mammoth Dump Truck is a solid choice.

The Wild Mini 4WD chassis is built to be sturdy for display and light running. It handles casual use well but is not engineered for heavy impacts or aggressive off-road driving.
Adding decals, weathering, and contrast paint on the dump bed and chassis gives a realistic finish. Lightweight accessories that do not alter balance work best.
Basic hobby tools are enough: hobby knife, sprue cutters, fine files and paint supplies if you plan to finish the body. Glue is not required for primary assembly.
Yes, the construction truck styling makes it ideal for building dioramas or display scenes featuring work sites and service vehicles.
