BigSung Hobbies is all about VLOGging my hobbies, and hopefully in the process help others who might learn a bit more about them and also get into the hobbies themselves.
The main focus of the channel is on RC hobby...reviews, how to's, crawling and trail runs. Other hobbies that I enjoy such as travels/foods, mountain biking, tech related gadgets, and DIY on cars and projects will be featured as well.
So subscribe and join me on this journey!

I used the 12mm Hex conversion kit for Tamiya Bruiser 2012 (store.rc4wd.com/12mm-Hex-conversion-kit-for-Tamiya-Bruiser-2012_p_2504.html?fbclid=IwAR0rnCarITXbak0L2QVw58HajVniAfBM9A5_iyxZAs_hVS-MVraRGfWd54I). The front is pretty straightforward, but the rear will require slight modification since HG P407 is not the same as Tamiya Bruiser 2012. When you open up, you will see the mod that is needed. Good luck.
@@BigSungHobbies many thanks, particularly for providing a link. Most of the time I search online all I find is vague references to needing to do this mod or that mod and no clear instructions. Had I not had a 3d printer for example I would not have been able to do the front servo mod
Everyone I was thinking about getting this but I do like some speed and to me I know these aren't for Speed but I would like him to go a little bit faster
This is a clone of Tamiya Bruiser from many years ago. The transmission isn't that robust, and only handles 2S batteries. If you like speed, I would steer you towards other more recent RC that can run on 3S Lipo. Good luck.
@BigSungHobbies no I mean I I have one that definitely go like the one I just did today I actually have a 1/10 that goes well above 80mph. Because I have a bunch of extra parts I was hoping to get something like this like a build kit and put a little bit more power to it I mean it doesn't need to go 50 Mi an hour but not 20
Keep in mind that there aren't many RC Crawlers that will be able to hit 20mph. They are designed for crawling, low-end control, and speed isn't the priority. Don't quote me on it, but TRX4 with 2 speed at high end only hits around 15-16 mph. Can you make it go faster? Yes, you can but you end up sacrificing crawling capabilities. Just something to think about.
Unfortunately, I never ended up finishing it....personal stuff came out, and I have been away from RC for a while, but I am planning to come back...hopefully soon, and resume including this one.
If you want the Ecto body in yellow already painted, then I would order it here. www.associatedelectrics.com/element/parts/details/42160-ASC42160-enduro_ecto_body_set_yellow/ It looks like they are out of stock right now. Put yourself on the waitlist. You could also check local hobby shop, and see if you can find Tamiya paints that matches it. Good luck.
I just bought a reefs 1100 servo capable to up to 8.4v I’m running a HW fusion pro 2300 that is only capable of 7.4 v. Can I install an external bec on it for maximum power??
Setting 5 lets you choose motor rotation on Quicrun Fusion SE, option 1 CCW & option 2 CW. You can download the manual here: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0109/9702/files/Manual_HW-SMC319DUL_QUICRUN_Fusion_SE_20220722.pdf?v=1669157586
If you go Servo on Axle setup which is basically 4 link setup, the steering link length will differ slightly. For SOA setup, there is no more need for panhard. As for the 4th link, I was able to find an extra front upper link, so I ended up using that. Normally I would have just ordered a new set of front upper links from HardcoreRC if I wasn't able to source an extra front upper link.
I used a 2S 2000AH RX lipo took away al!!!! the plastic (dremel and cutters knives and so) from batery tray works good. buy on Amazon this one wil fit 7.4V RC Battery, 2S 2000MAH RC Boat Battery RC Boat Spare Battery for DX6e DX6 DX8 Transmitter. got al the plugs to.
I am not sure offhand. The nice thing is that you can adjust it really quick so I would try it one way, and if it isn't the right way, re-set it for opposite. Sorry for the delay in response...been outside of the country for the last couple of weeks.
@@BigSungHobbies So basically what I meant was is it ok to have this motor rotating in any direction (cw or ccw) for forward and reverse rather than having to reverse the throttle on the transmitter??
Most folks use the throttle on the transmitter the same way, pull to forward, and push away for reverse, so I would adjust the motor rotation accordingly first. Hope that makes sense.
Yes, I am still around. I have been preoccupied with work and family for the past year. I am out of country at the moment, but I will be back in few weeks and hoping to resume filming again.
Is that Motor waterproof? Ive really REALLY been trying to find one for my trx4. Everything else handles water fine but I dont wanna have to replace the motor everytime it get a lil water splashed on it. Great video BTW.
It is waterproof. I have submerged it few times. That being said it probably isn’t a good idea to submerge it all the time though…electronics and water is not a good combination;)
They are brass wheel weights that can be easily found on Amazon that have been added for additional weight to the front end. Keep in mind that it does add rotational weight, but it's an easy way to get weight at axle level and to the front end.
I got a program card with blue sticker on it, can I still input the same parameters for my Fusion 540 se as you did with red sticker? Thanks in advance!
I believe all the program card are the same, just with different stickers. You should be able to input the same parameters, but I would check the manual and compare.
Thank you very much for the comment. Greatly appreciate it. The video was put together early last year. At that time, Vanquish offered only as a kit, so it was not included. The video was focused on RTR RC's. However, now that they are offering it, it should definitely be included now.
Thank you for the informative video! What link did you use to connect to the steering servo after installing the front mounting bracket? Did you order an after market link?
I found a threaded link in my local hobby store and ended up going with that. In my early days, there weren't too many after market links that I was aware of not unlike these days. The length can vary between the 3d print mods, so it will take a bit of trial and error. Good luck.
Does going soa allow the front end to drop lower? It looks like yours has more travel after the soa mod. I know my stock gatekeeper bottoms out on the pan hard mount
Going SOA is not about dropping the front end, but shifting the center of gravity to front end and lower it. That being said, one side benefit that I see is the slight increase in travel due to removing the bottoming effect of panhard mount. Give it a try. Once you go SOA setup, you won't go back ;)
@@BigSungHobbies the center of gravity is not as much of my concern as improving the front end suspensions function at lower ride height. I believe the stock setup with panhard mount applies lateral motion to the frame during suspension travel on top of limiting the bottom 1-3mm of travel. So servo on axle appears to have multiple benefits.
