The Tamiya Bruiser

Radio Control Specialties is proud to show you our award winning Tamiya Bruiser. Using a Futaba UF7PFM radio, this three speed transmission, part time 4 wheel drive vehicle can go anywhere. Using a 12 volt Gel Cel battery, it has functioning headlights, tilt bed, and trailer. It can easily pull a sled to full pull with 30 lbs. It weighs 16 lbs. and has a Maubuchi RS750 motor rewound to 23 turns. The driver is Murdock from the A-Team. It recently was configured for 4-wheel steering, but that proved to be more uncontrollable than it was worth, so it was returned to its original chassis configuration

Here is the first shot, with the bed lowered down.

Heres a look with the bed tilted, as controlled from the transmitter. Notice the 250 amp speed controller, 10-25 amp MOSFET's, w/reverse. Leaf springs with oil filled shocks add to the realism.

Here's a view with the trailer, towing my HPI RS4 Street racer. The Trailer is an actual frame from another Bruiser. Tires, springs shocks & bumper on it!
