Hey guys havent been on the board on a few. But to force me to finish a project I am starting a build log for my Tamiya Bruiser. Since this truck is so damn expensive out of the box I decided to use parts that were available to me in my shop already instead of buying stuff just for it. So this is what I am doing
Radio - My MX11 I have worked the dial on Aux3 to move a servo that shifts gears
Servos - Pair of Traxxas Water Proof Digital Hi Torq Gears
Motor- I shoved a Titan 12T brushed into it I had around
ESC Novak Goat
Battery - A Venom 2s Lipo
Paint - I am going box art style this time. At least for a while. So it will be Tamiya X-4
PROBLEMS
I am pretty sure that everyone knows that the transmission on this thing is a monster. So it took me 3 tries to get everything going. I had it on blocks the whole time. Switched smooth through all gears using the radio. But when I put it on the ground it turns out that in 4x4 mode the front wheels go backward! Luckily I just had the axles reversed
