semijoe Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 hey guys, i not sure if its ok to post this , because when im done it will an r/c. but there nothing stock on this truck from a kit . there a cross between , tdr , rc4wd, tamiya and some scratch parts well its been awhile . but wait to see what i have instored for this project. i started with a bruiser stock chassis i cant use the center cross member, or the front cross member rc4wd has dual shock mounts for the tf2, but you can also put them on the bruiser chassis. i only had to drill one hole today ive install a 12mm hub convesion kit made by rc4wd part # Z-S0107 this will let me put any style tire and rim on it. but if you deside to keep the stock axles , rc4wd also make a new style rim for the bruiser only Z-W0030 also if you look closely, you ll notice that all the white plastic parts that come with the bruiser kit is black . tamiya makes a complete black set i picked up some rc4wd 90mm shocks (z-d0002) , i beleive the red is discontinued but they do come in silver and black ive installed 2x in each corner also the hub nuts match (Z-S0756) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semijoe Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 so these next pictures show a lot to get the 502 in it. i had to take alittle off the front cross member next i had to move the steering bell crank forward. steering works perfect i have red rod tips coming in. this will make it look so much better here's a more of an overview im useing rc4wd steel drive shafts (VVV-S0004, VVV-S0002) i prefitted the 502 and made some adjustments and also made some motor mounts not sure if any body ever saw one of these engine , but there made by rc4wd ( Z-S0059 ) the 540 can motor fits right inside it and has a built in transfer case next is a radiator, hose, hood scoops and fake electric fans added pull some tires and rims, these are from rc4wd ( Z-T0070, Z-W0135 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

semijoe Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) so i received in my baer disc brake kit in from shapeways, really happy with it and the material is awesome for this to work on my r/c truck, i needed to make mounts on the rear axle, havent done the fronts yet , for the bruise rear, it has 2 screws that bolt the rear halves together, which great, so i made the the mounting . next i have to make mounting for the disc caliber. so i went with like a half moon . next mounting the disc itself to the toyota bruiser hub, once i did all this, it all bolted right up. the disc moves freely in the caliber and the rims just misses the caliber so everything went well for the rears Edited May 1, 2013 by semijoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
