Full Pull 502 Big Block 1/10

[semijoe]

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)

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 )

[semijoe]

alittle more on the wiring

front weight box is done

rear bumper and lenses came in

all red tips came in

[semijoe]

all done with the red truck

[semijoe]

even though the floor isnt done, i still need to work in the shop.
i upgrade my pull trucks brakes from drum to disc

hooker headers , hooked me up with a set of zoomies, i beleive i have enough room to fit them

baer brake systems , set me up with a set of quad caliber disc brakes. i also beleive i can make these work on this truck.

tryin something new. both companies said it will take about a week to get here

the chassia is a tamiya bruiser . i think this chassis would be awesome for an upgrade for the 1/8 cars. not sure yet

[semijoe]

interesting build Joe, I think it looks awesome

everytime i look at it, theres more to add in detail. i cant wait for the brake kit to get here. thanks man

[semijoe]

today i removed the chevy 502 engine, reason is i need to add electric motor to it, with a little help from john cena lol!, i was able to it quiickly.
also while i have it out i will add the zoomie headers when they get here. time to add some electronic to it too.

[semijoe]

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

[semijoe]

still need to install the brake lines, hopefully to i will have them made

shes also ready for engine installation

[semijoe]

today, ive installed the engine , hooked up the steering servo, made some adjustments here and there , next is the electronics
