looks nice David. im almost done with mine... but we scored a used traxxas summit 1/10 newest gen with the BT transmitter,2x nimhs and charger. for 275usd Ish could pass on that deal. oure p407 i also got some Tamiya 51324 tires. light kit... and spare motor/esc kitt. Surpass Hobby Waterproof F540 3300KV supposed to be a nice little upgrade for this truck. but yeah the steering, i scratched my head when i was trying to install this......"nope, this needs modding" XD
Yeah I just really wanted to drive this so zip tie steering servo it is. It surprised even me how solid those zips are. Not one little movement from the servo. When I get a better drill i will drill a servo mount to that plate but I will run it like this because I think it's funny lol.
Keep it as it is, keep it real. Some crawlers have articulations that are just ridiculous. Even your mates RC in this video is ridiculous. The more real it is, the more thinking you need when crawling.

Hi,My Man.I Got to Say This is one of the best Crawling Video's I have seen in a long time.look's like you have set up that Rig just sweet.My Man.I Also Love the The other Rig in the video Run's sweet as well.That's a thumb's up from me My Friend.Keep up the Good work. Alway's like you vid's.
Thanks! I really appreciate the kind comment and your support. The other rig is a actual rock crawler turned trail truck. It's my friends Kyosho Rock Force it's a classic now and practically indestructible!
Your a youngster so I get it. But back it the 80s and 90s this was how some of these hilux trucks looked like. Specially when I lived in Hawaii. Mini monster island truck style. It looks sweet to me.
David YUP, my college buddy 35+ years ago custom built his. wider chevy axles turning 35" wheels, gave up 200cc swapping out the Toyota engine in favor of a BMW putting out 60 more ponies, total beast!
They would look more scale with like a 1.9 tire and wheel combo but you will need an adapter to use other wheels. I will try to do mods to this in the future.
It’s really cool how your channel has gotten so popular. Your content has alway been really good but your filming, editing, builds and reviews just keep getting better and better. 👍🏾👍🏾
So cool 😎 love the way it came out . Great idea to mount the servo. Totally agree the extra cab piece looks kinda funny looks so much better with out it. Use a piece of lexan to make a back window for it.
a single roll bar / light bar could be cool, agree about the triple tube look being too "out there". top mounted lights DO get wrecked in a rollover so maybe no to lights there. make a custom roll bar?
I rather like my Bruiser's sleeper cab. It's a late-70's - early-eighties monster truck, and that sleeper cab with the duel, off-set bubble-widows, is reminiscent of the cool custom vans that were so popular then. So they give it that little extra, fantasy-custom look of the late-70's van scene I love so much. That's also why I prefer the original utility tires; because when monster trucks were just beginning to get popular; that's what they had, so as a monster truck from the late-70's, early-80's; it's perfect, just the way they made it. Everything on it, is perfectly scaled, for what it is; big bumpers and all. You have to think of it as what it was meant to be; or you can't fully appreciate it's glory.
I would not recommend zip tying your steering servo. It might be something that you could do for a servo winch and not really suffer the consequences on the trail but steering servo need to be bolted down
I normally would not do it but the way the servo sits under that metal plate and the way it is zip tied it really doesn't move even a little bit. I used heavy duty zips and have ran 6 packs through the rig already and so far it's been good. It was just originally for fitting but when I tightened the zips it was solid so I figured let's see how this holds. Just bring extra zips when I trail lol. I don't think these cheap jx servos are waterproof anyways so I do expect to break it and probably when I install a better servo I'll make a mount for it. It shouldn't be too hard.
I'm not sure what the rtr comes with for electronics but I dont really recommend this on 3s. Its a fragile truck for what it is and 3s will just lead to breakages for sure. But if you still what to give it a try like I did just take it easy and you will or may need a new 3s capable esc like the 1080 hobbywing.
he how are ya i asked you about the bruiser you were right it was the gear change servo so it is all good now thank you for helping me i really apreciate it cheers mate
@@RunThatRC its funny bc after months of looking online for one under 250usd and that would not take like 3 months 2 get 2 me I had given up. Your video came up randomly and I was like let me try fb market which I don't go on for cars ever and no lie bc of ur video sparking the want for the truck again I found one... that had literally been posted while I was watching your video. I just met with the seller last night I got it and I am not let down at all. So I want you to know bc of you I now own this truck!!! So ultimately thank you!!!!
its mostly stock with the springs in the shocks removed and running only on one leaf spring on each corner(stock is 3 leafs each corner). Hobbywing 80a esc, flysky tx/rx and 2 budget 20kg servos.
Love your videos and also the HG-P407 bought one a while ago and done some mods to it as you have done. What kind of leaf spring setup have you done? It's very hard and springy with the original setup.
I removed the spring in the shocks and for the leaf's I left only one leaf in rear and front. Still needs more mods for flex. But I like it the way it is. Its oldschool awesomeness!
@@RunThatRC okay, no problems with torque distortion of the springs? I thinking of that is a big amount of torque emitted to the axles, that want to rotate the axles. I was thinking of adding the second largest spring to the inside (on top of the larger one) in order to counter measure that, what's your opinion?
@@bengtmowitz5012 I haven't noticed any twisting of the axles but it might be, just don't notice it. I am going to run a different setup in the future and if it's any good I will have an update video on it.
really SWEET no BS steering servo mount mod right there! old school just like the Tamiya it copied and not a thing I don't like about it, while at the same time I'm thinking what the gearbox (axles too?) might do with 4 link and long travel coil overs, because a bruiser was always kinda stiff. might be aftermarket leaf springs could get it to be a little more limber? don't know so asking, is the steering servo horn long enough to get full steering lock to lock? with the drifting C-24 I did file some of the stops away at front outer carriers to get a few more degrees steering from it, can't go too much or the dog bone ends can begin binding, losing contact etc. didn't do that to WPL type crawlers, those parts seeing more torque.
The servo horn could probably be one or two holes longer but it's close to full lock. For my drift build im going to install the newer u joint style front hexes for more steering angle.
hi mate i have a new HG P407 i worked fine for a little while but now when i turn it on and run it it goes for about a minute and stops the esc and the seroo gets hot can you work that out thanks
Im not sure what could be going on. If the tx has adjustments maybe they need the endpoints turned down. Servos might be binding and causing the esc to cutoff from overheating. I have the kit version and provided my own electronics. I have no experience with the ready to run version unfortunately sorry.
The stock ESC has 2 jumper switches but no labels or information. Anyone know if one of these is to switch between LiPo and NIMH as I only have NIMH batteries.
if the esc has a jumper and only one jumper it is likely to be a lipo cutoff setting. you shouldn't have an issue running 7.2v nimh packs if thats the case. If you know the model of the esc you can probably search the specs on the esc.
@@RunThatRC It has 2 jumpers and I am guessing 1 jumper is for reversing the motor rotation? If so at least there is no risk of damaging anything by just playing around with the jumpers until I find the NIMH mode. I have searched everywhere and not found any information online so far. Thanks again for the replies.
If it has 2 jumpers. One is probably for forward back reverse or forward reverse only modes. You will know which mode your in when running it. The nimh battery will sag causing a low voltage cutoff situation. Just switch the jumper when that happens and you should be in nimh mode.
hahaha yeah it's still on there. I do have a 3d printer now so I could print a proper mount for it but these heavy duty zip ties haven't let me down! It was just a mock up of where I have seen others transfer the servo location to and its been a permanent mod for now.
Awesome video brah! I really like the way you showed a pretty much stock truck and a built crawler going head to head! I have 2 original Bruisers so I'm a big fan!! Aloha brah! 🤙🤙🤙
@@RunThatRC haha! Might perform ok but parts were not made of strong matrrials. My "runner" Bruiser pretty much only uses the chassis and leaf springs. Aloha brah🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
Donate him some better and nicer wheels and tires and this thing is awesome for its money! Even the leave spring suspension works just fine 😮

Did you have any rust issues with the axles, motor, or Bearings?
None of that is sealed.
no rust issues so far I did spary it with penetrating oil a couple days before and dried and sprayed again after.
@@RunThatRC 👍
Really cool truck, does it look more scale with crawler wheel/tires instead of the stock monster truck combo? Nice video as usual 👍🏾

Great video bro 👍👍 I love Bruiser
I was expecting to break it but it surprisingly handled ok for a stock rig.
Just bought! Thanks for the advice and the review from Italy !!
Hi, i have HG P407 too, but it's RTR version.
I want to ask, can i use 3S battery with the stock ESC and Motor?
If not, what should i upgrade?
I'm not sure what the rtr comes with for electronics but I dont really recommend this on 3s. Its a fragile truck for what it is and 3s will just lead to breakages for sure. But if you still what to give it a try like I did just take it easy and you will or may need a new 3s capable esc like the 1080 hobbywing.
I gotta get one everyone seems to enjoy these. I’m still using Tamiya version. Fun video sir!✌️
its a fun cheaper option. I like it
More vides like this PLZ!!!!!
SUBd
thanks for the support!
@@RunThatRC U betcha!
It would be nice if for every model you did a standard top speed test on your sidewalk or street.
2 high=8mph, 2 low=6mph, 4 low=4mph. This is with a 1080 hobbywing esc on 2s 5000mah lipo.
Good work with the zip tie. Screwing paying so much money for a simple plastic mount.
I do have a 3d printer now and should have printed a mount already. It is still holding strong though lol.
I'm building one just like it my name is Robert B's wanger
Dats a dope rig r u goin to put a light bar on it or some other style bumpers
Maybe in the future. For now its going to stay this way.
Really beautiful Toyota truck..... nice..
May i know the model of the other truck? So much articulation, I love that!
the other truck is a old comp crawler. It's a Kyosho Rock Force with a proline jeep body modded onto it.
he how are ya i asked you about the bruiser you were right it was the gear change servo so it is all good now thank you for helping me i really apreciate it cheers mate
glad it helped. Now go hit those trails!

Do you believe this 1080 hobbywing esc can a the 370 motor upgrade on the WPL
1080 may be overkill and too hard to stuff under a wpl.
Do the front wheels steer slowly, e.g. halfway instead of sharp left or right.
they are fully proportional.
Love the video 😍. Is your setup stock or modified (apart from the extra can removal) really thinking about getting it for my birthday
its mostly stock with the springs in the shocks removed and running only on one leaf spring on each corner(stock is 3 leafs each corner). Hobbywing 80a esc, flysky tx/rx and 2 budget 20kg servos.

depends on the specs on the esc. what esc do you have?

What size is the shift servo in that truck?
Im using a 20kg servo. Same as steering servo.
what do you recommend? having one of this? or 3 WPL KM RC? thanks
really depends what size rc you want. I like all scales and the small stuff is fun because it is easy to bring anywhere due to taking less space.
Nice place man!
It sure is!
It beautiful there
It is a nice place to run Rc truck for sure!
That keeps body is mounted to high at the end

yeah unfortunately its the lowest it can go on that crawler chassis. Its a kyosho rock force underneath.
Zip ties! Excellent idea.

compared to Remo Hobby 1093 ?
