What to Know About the Tamiya Rowdy Bull FM-A Chassis

The Tamiya Rowdy Bull pairs a bold off-road look with the FM-A chassis architecture. It is intended for modelers who value both a distinctive body and a chassis that supports detailed setup work.

Body Shape and Aero Considerations

The Rowdy Bull's buggy-style body is sculpted to help airflow and improve stability. The design lowers aerodynamic drag while keeping the car predictable through bends.

FM-A Chassis Advantages

The FM-A (Front Midship Aero) moves the motor toward the front to reduce the centre of gravity and influence weight transfer in a way that can be beneficial on tracks with vertical movement. Highlights include:

• Front skid bar for improved aerodynamics and control
• Four strategically placed rollers, with rear rollers measuring 8mm for added stability
• Easy-access motor position for quick maintenance and upgrades

Upgrade Paths for Racers

There is significant scope to tune the Rowdy Bull for specific race conditions. Typical modifications are:

• Motors: Compatible with various single-shaft motors for tailored speed and torque
• Tyres: Options for different tread types to suit specific track conditions
• Gears: Adjustable gear ratios to fine-tune acceleration and top speed
• Dampers: Installation of dampers for enhanced handling on rough tracks

Simple Build and Wide Compatibility

Parts snap together for a straightforward build that still offers room for precision tuning. The kit works with most standard Mini 4WD track formats and race rules.

The Tamiya Rowdy Bull with its FM-A chassis provides a dependable base for enthusiasts who enjoy fine-tuning setup and upgrades for different race conditions.
