Wow 😱 Your not wrong are you ! I thought £150 was a Bit steep for some Chinese , Bangood p.o.s. That was until I googled tamiya Bruiser and Checked out the price of the Remake . I shat a brick 🤣💩
How to lock the diff is near the back of the instructions...drop a pin from the parts bag into the top of the diff. Its tight but you don't have the take the car apart there is a set screw on top of the diff you take out to get the pin in.
No way the differential gears always goes in my son's 1/16 summit. It would be better with two gearboxes and 2 motors from the bandit and then it would hit it hard without stupid spider beveled gears.
Just a warning. I pulled this quote from the review section for this rig: "I received a car with corrosion on almost every metal part. The body was damaged although the package itself was in good condition. Banggood offers me a 8$ refund for all the problems even though I bought the extra ensurence that promises a full refund or a new car. It's a big scandal to say the least. I give five stars just so this review will be posted." I also discovered that Banggood censors negative reviews on their site, and this one was only there because the reviewer gave the truck 5 stars. Buy with caution! I would have bought this solely on Kev's advice if I hadn't seen these reviews.
To lock the diffs, there is a pin that you need to insert in the diffs. There are screws at the top of the diffs that you need to take off then insert the diff pins in. My friend owns one of those..
DO NOT need to open diffs to lock them. A hole is on axle to drop in a pin. Side note; lock just the rear, remove all leaf springs except one, throw stock tires away, move servo to plate behind bumper. Then, it is actually a pretty decent leaf sprung crawler.
I do like the attention to detail although the performance sucks really. Someone needs to 3DPrint miniature Kevin and Pat figures to put inside vehicles :)
There's a pin that you have to install to lock the diffs, it's not selectable while running you have to tear the diffs apart to lock and unlock them, just like the tamiya bruiser.
Cool little truck and thanks for you guys honest review/demo! Hope you guys are like me- when im out and about running RC's and encounter trash, I clean it up.. Looking at trash in your video is a turn-off but I still love you guys!
Love the extra editing you do for the big show rc's it makes viewing 10X better! keep it up man! good job. How about reviewing some of the new ARRMA 3s rigs? They seem to be quite the bang for the buck rigs. Obviously not going to take the moon flights like the 6s guys but they do hold up pretty damn well from watching Rich Duperbash's channel. Cheers!
Put a brushless motor and see what it can really do I have one and I have been beating it for a month and have had no problem I up graded the steering bell crank with a aluminum one with ball bearings and I put better servo saver on it witch it made a big difference
Hell yeah you got Pat snapping the whip that's what's up that's all right for a little Trail crawler and it can use a few things but that's not my thing anyway brother but is still a cool truck and you know what you building your dream is a lot of money when you're talkin $40,000 and axle $4,000 tires a piece and everything else I can't wait to see your Masterpiece bro it's going to be epic and I'll be your number one fan👊👊👍👍🤙🤙🤙🤙
This truck is a dead nuts copy of the Tamiya Bruiser . In my opinion it's an awesome deal.1/3 the price of the Tamiya. The most scale rc I've seen you drive!
I got one of these recently. It's not the servo (cheap but not bad as such) so much as the really badly designed placement and linkages that it comes with as a legacy of the original Tamiya design. Not bad for its time as it was helping write the book on crawlers in general. This truck is really a bit of a Faustian bargain. Great low price and a good platform for modding. I bought mine with both eyes open knowing it would have some issues. After running it once I went ahead and, reworked the steering and mounted the servo up front on the chassis (works great), took apart the steering knuckles and filed them a bit so they could move without binding. Removed the springs from the dampers as it was all too bouncy. Oh it came with the rear leaf springs not attached to the rear spring shackles. It goes much better now. New dampers are on the way and I'll most likely replace the tires for something more grippy. If you buy one, just know that it will require a bit of work to make it really 'good'.
Another great review guys some you should definitely do one with the diffs locked up Maybe put it head to head with something else but as always keep up the good work guys love your reviews
To lock the diffs you put a grub screw into the diff. I have a. Set of origional Tamiya bruiser axels practically brand new if you want them Kev with locked diffs
You can lock the diffs without taking it apart. There is an access hole on the axle pumpkin. Shine light inside and move the gearset inside until you see a hole. Then you can put your grub screw to lock the axle. NOTE, my grub screw was slightly too long not allowing the gears to spin in the housing. I ground it down shorter reinstalled, and after a few times, I'd ground down enough to actually let it spin freely inside and not hang up on the housing. Please, do a build on this Bruiser clone. I have also found that removing one leaf from the spring packs helps with articulation. CHEERS from Oso, Washington.
Great video as usual, thanks! Love watching your vids! Did you ever figure out how to lock the diffs? On the top of page 29 of the manual it shows how to lock the diffs using the two small pins in the parts bag. Takes some finagling to get the pin in place.
Great vid! You can lock the diffs with little pins that you insert from the outisde (you don't need to take it apart), it should show you in the back of the manual but if not, take a look at the Tamiya Bruiser manual! They are decent trucks for the price, I would say they need one or two mods and a going over with threadlock ideally and quality control varies but you can buy one and make it reliable for waaaaaay less than buying the original one. Some half decent tyres go a long way too, the stock ones are too firm. I have a facebook group for this truck if anyone is interested, just search for HG P407
You should look into the goped hobby. It is something fantastic and still has a place, but it is overlooked and less popular. Someone like you could bring fame back to it because it is a part of many peoples teenage years.
i wonder if u managed to break it sumhow can u get parts for it and if so would u use tamiya parts , i know iv wanted a bruiser forever but there crazy expencive
Hi kev i got one of those crawlers and the batterys that come with them are sh*t house my battery die with in a couple of outings i then proceeded to pull it apart to see what is in there and the battery is like half the size
I have a latrax Teton the stock motor is trash burned out in like less than 10 runs snapped every one of the stock axles replaced them with alloys put in a gool rc brushless in it and a 2s Vernon lipo it ran for 20 seconds then sheared off the motor shaft and burned out the leds I added really fun car but really frustrating
Unrelated... but could you do a backflip with the traxxas UDR? I have one but for obvious reasons don't want to try this, my work colleague is adamant it will, even if it doesn't survive/break, send it please
if you got some scale tires, locked the diffs took off those silly bumpers and slider, maybe lower the body a little bit this thing would be a scale beast
You don't have to take it all apart to do that I have one and it's a gravy job take the rear end out and on top by the output is a set screw take it out put in your looking screw with blue loctite then put screw sealant back on the set screw and put it all back together
Tami Hilux clone. I just got mine. Cant wait till it arrives. Looks bloody awesome for the money. Better value than some of the big names if its as good as it looks.

😁👍 That my friend is a clone of a tamiya bruiser!
I was gonna say the same thing, this is the gran Dad of crawlers, came out in 1985 (the original)
Thats what I said Steve
Yep, It was probably my third RC by the time 1985 rolled around.
Wow 😱

I believe what happened is that the truck got sent without oil covering the metal bits, when I got mine it was rust free
I have 2 and both arrived in perfect condition
Ordered mine of ebay and used paypal so ill be careful to check when it arrives. Thanks for the heads up
In the back of the manual is where it shows you how to lock the diff
Sweet! Definitely lock the diffs!

to lock diff. you gotta install hex pins into the holes from the top of the axles but you have to take out grub screws first

This truck would be so cool with trx4 portal locking diff axles, coilover shocks and a brushless crawler motor!

Is it basically a Tamiya bruiser just been built up already?
There is a pin on top of the back axel u have to put it iin it will lock the dif

Did a review on this a while back. It's a good RC truck for the money. Long grub screw to lock diffs. Low 4wd med 2wd high 2wd.

Love you Kevin Talbot
I'm a big fan or this car but hate the tires. Great vid, thanks!
Its a reproduction of a 1980s "Trail Truck" Tamiya Bruiser right down to the rubber bands. Lock the diffs and its much more capable .
nah it needs axles with lockable diffs, not permanently locked axles
Lol Kev i have just ordered this crawler last week im waiting for it nice video
Another banger of a video thanks kev
Awesome video Kevin 👍
its a good looking little truck. needs a few things done to it but id say its worth 200 bucks all day just for the nostalgia factor

Great video man. I gotta get some new batteries for my Xmax.. I miss it
This wouldn't be a Kevin Talbot video without a cleverly placed SUBSCRIBE sticker! 😂😂😂

Yeah a new Video 😍😍😍 pls buy a Arrma Talion. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Kevin you should do a xl x castle motor and esc combo in a arma outcast that would be a one of a kind build
pat should buy one and you two should have a build off to see who can build the best crawler
Could you review the redcat gen 7 or the ARMMA senton?
talks about building a monster truck in every intro but its been the same frame since i subbed
Can you make a video showing how to build or attach all of the parts such as a servo, the motor, the electric governor, etc.
I wonder when arma is going to release a 1/5th scale or even a mini arma outcast
Great vid! You can lock the diffs with little pins that you insert from the outisde (you don't need to take it apart), it should show you in the back of the manual but if not, take a look at the Tamiya Bruiser manual!

That would be cool with the diffs locked. Do you think it'll be able to jump the green building?
it would explode lol
You should look into the goped hobby. It is something fantastic and still has a place, but it is overlooked and less popular. Someone like you could bring fame back to it because it is a part of many peoples teenage years.
I just went to the website where you can buy it, I like how it says toyado not Toyota lo!
Hey kevin can you do a video on the traxxas stampede 4x4?
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!
Great video kev!
Patt is a legend just saying
Theres a metal pin u drop in the diff housing somewhere kev
I think that shock setting is little bit strength but it's cool~!!😀😀
I think the word you were looking for is strong not strength 😊
I’m pretty sure there is some pins or something in the spare parts. The diffs need to be taken apart to be locked
For £160 including radio it’s not bad , worth buying just as a display model
id love to see how much dower this could handle, even put in the stock brushed trx4 gear and see if the drivetrain can handle it
i wonder if u managed to break it sumhow can u get parts for it and if so would u use tamiya parts , i know iv wanted a bruiser forever but there crazy expencive
Great vid 👍
EPIC!! Love this rc truck XD
You should get the traxxas stampede 4x4 vxl it is a great basher and is very fast and durable
on my e revo 2.0 I just put on new servos and set everything right and the servos when I turn the car on just grind. why is. that?
It's an exact replica of the tamiya bruiser, really really want one 😕
I’ll be waiting for the Future video part 2 🎉
We had snow in England. Did you Kev

This looks goods kev
Hi kev i got one of those crawlers and the batterys that come with them are sh*t house my battery die with in a couple of outings i then proceeded to pull it apart to see what is in there and the battery is like half the size
You should try to put the tires from the chey video from 3 weeks ago and put it on the xmax
Answer this question in your next video, can you put two 6s Lipo batteries in a rc car to make it 12s?
GEEGAN SQUAD yes in series they will be 12s
Next video: How I converted my Xmaxx to 12s! Skate park bash!
Great video Kev! Love that truck. I have a 1:1 and the original Bruiser. Aloha!
Kev I think there is a metal pin that gets put in the Axle
I bet that thing has a high center of gravity... Kev make it brushless and do a VS with the TRX-4
Looks really good might get it
Hey Kev, you and Pat should get a Latrax from Traxxas
I have a latrax Teton the stock motor is trash burned out in like less than 10 runs snapped every one of the stock axles replaced them with alloys put in a gool rc brushless in it and a 2s Vernon lipo it ran for 20 seconds then sheared off the motor shaft and burned out the leds I added really fun car but really frustrating

I upgraded the servo saver in mine btw. The stock is way to soft.
I know it’s not the most durable car but the idea is cool one day we will have a proper car build but nice videos
What was the music you where using at 6:20?
I'm getting it for Christmas!
Did either of you check the shocks for fluid? Because the suspension is working like complete junk.
