Tamiya 57412 MudMad 1/24 SW-01 Mini 4WD Monster Truck Kit  [57412]

Small Scale, Big Personality

RC drivers looking for a compact off-roader will appreciate the Tamiya MudMad on the SW-01 chassis. With design input from Takayaki Yamazaki, this kit captures the chunky looks of larger trucks while remaining light and manoeuvrable.

How the SW-01 Packs Performance

The SW-01 is engineered to be compact but effective. Its 190mm length and 150mm width accommodate a centrally mounted Type 370 motor in a monocoque frame. Power is distributed via gears to both axles so front and rear tyres share traction, and the top-mounted motor arrangement helps produce eye-catching wheelies.

Body Fitment and Driving Feel

A magnet-held polycarbonate body ships pre-painted in PS-3 Light Blue for instant visual appeal and quick changes. The shell's profile lets it lean into turns, tightening the cornering arc and reducing body roll during spirited driving.

Suspension, Steering and Control

Strut-style independent coil springs at each corner let the MudMad absorb uneven ground while keeping the tyres tracking. Single-piece upper arms coordinate steering inputs and minimise roll, and front and rear diffs enhance tight-turn performance for confident handling.

The Tamiya MudMad on the SW-01 chassis is a solid pick for those after playful monster truck antics in a compact footprint.
