I'm the same with tamiya. I get so excited like I'm 10 years old again. Brings back good old memories every time

I love the mad bull .when fitted with decent shocks servo and get rid of the wire servo arm its awesome lol.

Love the smell of those new tyres! Sorry I'm an addict.

Thats going to be a blast.

Kind of takes you back to the basics pretty awesome cat good video take care and be safe

I love the back pivot mount on the madbull makes it a good crawler too with oil shocks.

Nothing like slightly over powering a basic buggy and then giving it a good thrashing to see what it can take! Good simple fun.

Love your excitement and giggles, my friend 🙂 Spot on. The right attitude for this build. I enjoyed mine very much, although I went the classic hopper way with it. Some day I will definitely put on the stock wheels and tires and have some fun with it 🙂

The Mad Rabbit 😂 Awesome, Tamiya should release it!

I have a Mad bull to restore, love this series thx

Great video Glenn! Building it right now

Brings back memories the mad bull

Awesome build👍

Stops the gearbox slamming upwards and locking the travel upon acceleration. Actually works quite good

Can’t wait to see this one finished, I know exactly what you mean about how exciting Tamiya kits are, I love the smell of a Tamiya kit!!!

Glad to see this, I always thought it was just a 'hopper with big wheels.

Fab build video Glenn. Because of your enthusiasm on this, I’ve just ordered one. 😊👍🏻

Nice build 👍🏻 I like how your creating your own version ......awesome

Looking forward to the rest of this one ;)

Looks crazy. Love the tyres.

That's probably the most unusual Tamiya build I've seen.

I love it , going to be epic !

That's a really cool project.

Oh that thing is going to fly with the brushless set in. I think that the gearing is quite high as my mates one goes way quicker than my lunchbox with the same brushless set. These are great fun. Nice build so far 😁

Great job and great passion as always my friend! 😍😍. Looking forward to the next installments. 😊😊😊

Go 1/8 back wheel conversion on armour wheels tyres.im running 8.4v 5000nimh on my grandsons mad bull tottaly stock but 17t pinion,ftx shocks all round ballraced just like mine.so much fun and lasts for ages.

Love the passion, I also enjoyed buillding mine! When the weather allows me I will post some driving video's love your Channel BTW

Love it Glen. Really good to see you have started it!!! As I said at Christmas I’m gonna try and follow you with mine. Couldn’t agree more on the point. Forget they are a budget model..... they are just great fun......... and it doesn’t matter if they get bashed about!!!!!

I gave a Mad Bull to my niece and nephew for christmas a few years ago.

Mad Rabbit.... MAD Glenn!!! 😳😜😎💖 Really can't wait to see what you did to it. It's kind of sad really... $135 USD + $14 for Bearings..... For everyone else, cheap as chips. I've really wanted this Buggy for a long time. $150.00.... No way I can get it. 💔😞 asked for it for Christmas, even went as far as asking my friends, giving them my PayPal Link.... Embarrassing and unfruitful. I haven't been able to afford a new RC since 2014. 😭 I keep hoping my luck will change. Nope. Anyway, sorry to bore you with that. I've never seen a Rapid Rabbit, and the cross with the Mad Bull AND Brushless Power.... Can only be EPIC!!! 😎👍👍 I'll be looking forward to seeing it done, and especially a running Video of that BEAST!! Carmine ✈🚂🚙

Looking forward to seeing your version of this Frankenstein 😁 I'm doing a Mad Bull with budget BL with 10T too! Am keen to show you my progress too 😎

The Hornet has a bit of the same way of pivoting the gearbox , as I can remember from way back there were some springs in it to. Of course they break. lol. Tires seems a lot like from the lunchbox.

Whoop whoop 🙌 👍🏻😉 let’s see if I built mine wrong 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣🤣

I've taken the servo wire control arm out made a better one out off scraps from vantage 2.0 also the shocks fitt straight on ball cups the lot drives like a champ.

i put lunchbox esq wheels on my burns 1/8th ic ...... it was epic........

You better glue the tires or the damn brushless motor is gonna fling all four into the weeds 😆😆😆

I've fitted the back wheel conversion too 1/8 wheels gives better stance and grip.

2:08 Monster buggy ;)

The rear pivot means that the suspension actually works under acceleration

Glenn the way you're talking about this bugging and I would feel the same way if you did think the way I'm thinking about this I think this could be one of them next 102 miles that will be considered vintage one day and you said maybe not the one but the way you're talking about it maybe it will the next 100 vintage.

Stick some weight in the front. Should improve steering and reduce those bloody wheelies. Could allow a 3S

I call it a truggy 😂

Hey, great video. I’m looking at getting a Madbull for my 8yo who loves RC cars. For now all he’s used are Amazon specials. Would you recommend the Madbull as a beginners car? Or any other Tamyia? I’ll build it for him, and he’ll be racing it mainly off road. Thanks

I bought a used Mad Bull. It is so worn out it need a new EVERYTHING. surprised nothing is broken but it was well used! Everything is worn out!

Does anyone know, can I put a madbull transmission on a grasshopper chassis? I am not sure if there are any modifications I would need to do. Thanks. Great video as well.

Fella I'm having probs getting the back hex splined for drive shaft keep getting let down ?.

Does any body know if you can get metal gears for the mad bull

put the cva's on the inner most mount on the lower wishbone, improves handling dramatically.... also does tamyia grease still smell like prawns????? odd question i know but the old 80's molybdium greas smelled like seafood..... :D

Not much you can do for the play in the stock steering. Works fine though when driving

Is it possible to turn the Pogo shocks into oil-filled shocks?

Glenn don't forget the anterior crease in the depths so it be acting like a limited slip diff.

Are you like close to ottawa canada?

I typed “rookie rabbit” into google. Auto-text kicked in and I searched for “rampant rabbit” instead. At least I now know what to buy the wife for Valentines Day. Should mean that I can spend more time down the pub .... Cock On. 😬 If I upgrade it to 3S I can probably go clubbing as well.

Make it rip Glen it will be a beast with those brushless motors.

Glen there's a new comical Buggy out the avante and it's the first one of those that is 4-wheel drive they also have a new Karmann Ghia on the m chassis you might be interested in the they have a brand new 8x4semi and the Terra scorcher is being rered.

that rear shock angle is shockingly terrible and does it have the really ropey front handling probs as the original bull?????????? where the wheels catch on the bumper under tight reversing out of a corner?????????????? either way should still be fun.

So do I share that sentiment.

You should see the mud mad 1/24 truck.

It's a monster buggy.

Yeah but you have a fighter buggy there I know that they very similar.
