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.
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.
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.
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.
