Meet the Wild Dagger by Tamiya

The Tamiya 58231 Wild Dagger is a rugged 1/10 monster truck kit aimed at hobbyists who want a tough, serviceable platform. The combination of twin motors and a 4WD drivetrain gives predictable performance across rough tracks, while the kit nature makes upgrades and repairs straightforward.

Paired 540 Motors for Strong Drive

The Wild Dagger is fitted with a pair of 540 stock motors to deliver ample torque for climbs and jumps. Power is controlled with a mechanical speed controller for simplicity, and a common modification is to replace one or both stock motors with reverse rotation units to optimise the driveline.

Tough Chassis and Suspension

Built on a modified TL01/TL01B chassis with an ABS monocoque body, this truck handles impacts well. It uses front and rear double wishbone suspension and coil-spring shocks that provide decent damping for typical off-road use despite not being oil-filled.

Simple Upgrades and Gearing Choices

The sealed gearbox is easy to service and accepts different pinion gears to alter speed and torque. The standard 18T pinion can be swapped for a 20T to raise top speed, or other gear choices can tailor acceleration for specific driving conditions.

If you need a dependable, mod-friendly truck for outdoor bashing, the Tamiya Wild Dagger offers a practical blend of strength and tuning potential.

Experienced builders can assemble the kit in a few hours, while newcomers should expect several evenings to complete the build and do basic setup.
Yes, swapping the coil-spring shocks for oil-filled dampers is a popular upgrade to improve control and damping on rougher terrain.
An 18T pinion is a good all-round choice; change to a 20T for higher top speed on open areas, or go lower for better acceleration on tight courses.
The ABS monocoque design protects internal parts and handles routine jumping well, though reinforcing mounting points is recommended for heavy bashing.
