Hello and welcome to Part 2 of my detailed build guide for the re-released Tamiya Subaru Brat on the updated ORV chassis. In this video I'll be finishing the chassis, covering Steps 11 to 26 of the build manual. This involves the construction of the rear shocks, rear drivetrain, installing the electronics and servo and finally building and fitting the beadlock wheels . I hope to add a few tips along the way!

About the Subaru BRAT
The Bi-drive Recreational All-terrain Transporter was created by Subaru in the late 1970’s from their earlier 4WD station wagon model for the US market. Powered by a flat-four engine ranging from 1.6 to 1.8 liters in displacement, this pickup had the unique feature of having jump seats welded to the truck bed, which allowed it to be imported as a car instead of a truck. One of the car’s more famous owners was former US President Ronald Reagan, whose red BRAT is restored and displayed at his former residence in California.

Pleasure to watch your build videos Mark. I have a soft spot for the ORV chassis. It's a good workhorse. Smple rigid and with nice ground clearance. Hope your body build is enjoyable. I've heard it's one to do when you're nice and calm so I reckon you'll be right.

@MarkBryanRC Год назад

Cool, thanks Jon! Yeah, the ORV is pretty unique, they'd never design a chassis like this these days! Agree though, it's a great solid chassis, should be fun out on the rough! I'll be taking my time on that hard body, doing the Lexan one first! All the best, cheers! 🙏😎👍

@HaydadRC Год назад

Great idea to use the o-rings on the rubber boot Mark! I usually use small zip ties. The chassis looks great!👍😊

@MarkBryanRC Год назад

Thanks Jeremy! Oh yeah, I tried zip ties but sometimes the heads catch on nearby parts like the insides of those suspension arms. O-rings are a good option if you can get the right sizes. All the best, my friend! 😉😎 👍

@rccrawlersmid-wales645 Год назад

Very relaxing! I enjoyed seeing all that again and realising how much I remember about these. 😎👍

@MarkBryanRC Год назад

Hi Steve, good to hear it's relaxing but I hope I didn't send you to sleep! 🤣 Yeah, surprising how much info we store away without realising it! Take care, mate! 😎👍

@peterhootonrc1498 Год назад

Hi Mark very good video and some great tips to take home.This is another one on my wish list for some point. I wanted one of these when they came out in the 80’s but went for the frog instead as I wanted to join my local rc club to race. I still have my old frog and plan to show it at some point. Anyway have a good weekend and take care

@MarkBryanRC Год назад

Hi Peter and thanks as always for the great comment. I'm sure you will get the Brat one day soon, but in the meantime I'd love to see that old Frog of yours! Have a great weekend too my friend! 👌😎👍

@robbrennanrc Год назад

It is a great chassis to build and those shocks are awesome. Loving those tyres as well dude. Bring on the bodies.

@MarkBryanRC Год назад

Too right mate! These tyres are so chunky, they look and feel great but not sure how much grip will be had! All the best, Rob! 😉👌👍

@BasBoyRC Год назад

I prefer the dog-bones on the brat over the CVD on the Blackfoot. I like the tyres on these and the wheels they stopped using the screw together as they do not need glue to stop them slipping when wet.

@MarkBryanRC Год назад

You got that right, Mal! I don't know how many times I changed the driveshafts on my original Monster Beetle! Love the wheels on this too, nice and simple but a great design! Cheers! 😎👌👍

@ShenRC Год назад

Nice Mark! It should move out real nice with the torque tuned motor. 👍on those rubber drive boots I tie a little fishing line around them to hold them in place on the drive cups.

@MarkBryanRC Год назад

Hi Steve, yeah I think the Torque Tuned will suit this old chassis, not too fast and not too slow! Thanks for the tip about the fishing line, why do I always forget that stuff?!?!?!? Take care, buddy! 😎👍

@yodadarksideGreenHawksRC Год назад

Very well presented, and pleasantly relaxing video Mark! The ORV is such a fun chassis to build, it really is such a quirky unique design. I must say, I much prefer that chassis colour in comparison to the red! Much as I adore the ORV, those bloody rubber axle boots are my nemesis.....lost track of how many sets of them I've had to order over the years on the monster beetles! Tie wraps keep the boots on, but under heavy impact, or fully released trailing arms (through jumping) the dog bones get spat out the drive cups and rip through the rubber! They are then a nightmare to get back in, and like you say- harbour the grit and muck! Your rubber O ring tip was quality (I will certainly try this) I've had a lot of success with one of your previous tips, limiting the rear arms travel by inserting a small screw underneath each side. ... since that video I've managed to keep the dog bones in position, and haven't split any more rubber boots! 😊 Thank you! Really looking forward to seeing the route you go down with the bodies next mate. Anyway fella, hope you're getting over the old con flu mate.... back to full strength in time for spring mate! 👍 👍 👍 👍

@MarkBryanRC Год назад

Hi James - sorry mate, just trying to find all the comments I haven't answered! Yes I thoroughly enjoyed the build on this one, and I also prefer the grey colour of this chassis. But I share your loathing of the rubber boots, many a hole I've had in them in the past! Bloody escaping dogbones! But that trick to limit the travel of the suspension arm does do the trick, I might do it on this one before I run it... The O-rings work well because you don't have the head of the zip tie to clatter into anything as the shaft spins, much better IMHO. I got some blue for the hard body and about 5 colours to choose from for the Lexan body... not sure yet! I'm feeling a lot better today, thanks, but Louise is still pretty bad and testing positive, poor girl! All the best my good friend! 😎👌👍

Well Done Mark. It sure is a nice looking build. Thanks for sharing this one. it gave me something to listen along to as I work on one of the rigs. So a full view AND a thumbs up. See you at the Body painting. ;)

@MarkBryanRC Год назад

Many thanks Nick! Yeah, it is an enjoyable chassis to build, not too difficult! Glad you had me in the background, bonus I get a full watch and a big thumb!!! Cheers, brother! 🙏👌👍

@Toystheyrenot Год назад

Great build video with many useful tips Mark.👍😊 I recall the old re re Frog had zip ties for the shaft boots. I may remove them eventually like I did for my Monster Beetle as it makes it much easier to clean and maintain. Really love those 3 piece Brat wheels too.

@MarkBryanRC Год назад

Thank you very much, Sean! Yeah I think my original Monster Beetle had those zip ties. I prefer the O-rings coz they don't leave a tag sticking out. And agreed, those wheels are pretty cool! Cheers! 😎👌👍

Great video and tips Mark. The o-ring method is new to me. I putted zip-ties on the gearside of the tubes. But next maintenance on my Blackfoot I'll put the rings on, too.

@MarkBryanRC Год назад

Hi Dirk, always great to read you! Yes, the o-ring has the advantage that it has no "tab" sticking out, it's nice and smooth! I think you will like the solution - cheers my friend!

@mad-beerc3818 Год назад

The Brat is such a class act! My first tamiya in 83! Great vid Mark and two bodyshells to do next! Great deal that tamiya included two bodyshells with this kit!

@MarkBryanRC Год назад

Totally agree with you there, James! Wow I think you beat me to that first RC, mine was 86! Yeah, the Lexan body will be used for bashing, just gotta pick a colour! All the best, mate! 😎👌👍

Great tip with those O-Rings Mark! I am now wondering how much gets into my Frog boots? As always matey you are the master of these build videos dude 🙌🏻

@MarkBryanRC Год назад

Cheers, Craig - yeah the O-ring is a good solution as you don't get a "tab" sticking out like you do on a zip-tie. You certainly don't want dirt in your boots! Thanks for the kind comment matey, all the best! 🙏😉👍

@CPB24421 Год назад

Cheers Mark. Really enjoy your vids. Your series on the Racing Fighter convinced me to get it and trick it out. It's so much fun for so little money.. mine's on a 4600Kv 2S.. I'm toying with putting it on 3S, but it prob won't live long with the plastic gears. Keep up the good work bud.

@MarkBryanRC Год назад

Great to hear, Jason! Yes, the Racing Fighter is about the best bang for your buck you'll get from a Tamiya! Bloody hell, 46000kv is enough for me on a NiMh!!!! Sounds like fun though! Many thanks and all the best, bud! 🙏😉👍

@andrewmagro7703 Год назад

Another great video Mark, Yes its a great build this Subaru Brat, i used the Hardbody on mine and then i used the poly-carbonate clear body painted on my CR01-Rock Socker as looks awesome on it and that way i get now to use the rock Socker body on a thunder Blitzer restoration build, as im quite sure they accommodate the same shell Love these build videos regardless whether ive already built them or not as i just love the tutorials when done extremely well cheers Mark.

@MarkBryanRC Год назад

Thank you again, Andrew! Yes I must say I've thoroughly enjoyed building this one. It's a bit too cold and wet to spray the bodies at the moment. But I will be using the Lexan body for bashing and the hard body for best! Good idea to mix and match bodies, variety is the spice of life! Thanks for your supportive words, it really does help encourage me to carry on with these videos. Much appreciated, mate! 🙏😎👍

@AddamsPlayground Год назад

Looking good Mark! I am starting to get very impatient waiting on mine to come in. The back order arrival date got pushed back again this week so it is going to be at least another month before mine gets here! I will be intently watching your videos on it so I am fully prepared when it does show up!! Take care!

@MarkBryanRC Год назад

Hi Addam - thanks dude! Fingers crossed for the arrival of your Brat! You must be getting frustrated, I know I would be! As you say though, look on the bright side, at least you got time to do your homework! All the best from over here in the UK, buddy! 😎👍

@@MarkBryanRC Very true. I don't know why I am so antsy to get it, not like I don't already have a laundry list of things to get done!!! LOL!! It is just one of the classics that I really want in the collection and it was supposed to be here in February but then March and now early May.... Take care Mark !

@rc-dom-uk Год назад

Nice . I enjoyed this build to mate. If I remember the rear body posts with the hard body would wobble and I stuck longer screws in but see how you get on I guess because I’m not 100% sure now. It’s quite a unique rc and when that body goes in it looks stellar 😊👍

@MarkBryanRC Год назад

Hi Dom, cool you enjoyed the memories, mate! Yeah I'll look out for that when I get round to fitting the body. Might need reinforcing. Not looking forward to the paint job though! 😬😉👍

@rc-dom-uk Год назад

@@MarkBryanRC it’s not to bad mate . Just time consuming 👍😊👍

@madsrcbuggy Год назад

Looks like a nice build, Mark! I've never been so keen on the Frog, so this one might be a better option, plus I like those tyres on it! Subarus are cool, I'm looking forward to see what you'll be doing with the bodies, there should be some opportunity to play around, since there is always a back-up if something goes wrong, ha ha... But which is the primary and which is the back-up? Hah! That's a tough one... Have a great weekend there, my friend!

@MarkBryanRC Год назад

Hello Mads and thanks for always being there, I really appreciate it my good friend. I must admit that I do like the Frog, but out of the 2 I'd choose the Brat first. The tyres are so cool and more lifelike than most Tamiya tyres, they are very thick, heavy rubber. I'm going to use that Lexan body for bashing and do my best effort on the hard shell. Hope your weekend was good, mate! 🙏😎👍

Hi there Mark, I just love the ORV chassis and my Subaru Brat, it’s one of my favourites, and mine, if you remember, had the bearings bathed in some warmed TeamZX1 micro oil, for extra slickness 😊. You’ve taken me back to diving into all the parts bags and building this awesome RC, I hope you’ve enjoyed too. And those two awesome bodies shells, one for show and one for running, you’ve some more hours to enjoy. I wish I could be in the workshop with you 😊😊best wishes to you all 😊

@MarkBryanRC Год назад

Hi John, what a great thought - I'm sure we would definitely enjoy a few hours messing with RC stuff together in the workshop! I know we'd have tons to chat about! Yes, the ORV Brat is a lovely thing to put together and those bodies are so cool, definitely using the Lexan body for running! Best to you and your family, my friend! 🙏😎👍

No worries mate! Glad you caught this one. It sure is a strange design, no way would this come off the drawing board today! But yeah, it was a pleasure to put together all the same. Cheers, bud! 😎👌👍

Hi Robby, yes I agree, this has become an instant fave of mine! Definitely unique, they would never design a chassis like this today! I'm sure you would enjoy the build of this classic Tamiya, brother. Fingers crossed you can experience it one day. Thanks for watching and leaving a great comment as always! 🙏😎👍

@PeteWylieRC Год назад

Hiya mate. Great stuff as ever with some top tips along the way. I did try to get some O rings the right size after the last time you recommended them but the ones I got were no good. Have you just got a big selection box of them? I did enjoy building my Brat and this is one I've left brushed as it's a good speed for driving round the garden in the summer. Also making this chassis fast is asking for trouble as I found with the Blackfoot. I look forward to seeing what you do with the body shells for this. That hard plastic shell takes some time. Best wishes for the weekend my friend 😁👍

@MarkBryanRC Год назад

Hiya Pete! Oh yeah, I got a massive box of O-rings from Aldi, all different sizes, it comes in real handy! Yep, I took a lot of advice from your build guides for the Brat, especially the one about receiver placement. I did credit you while filming but then promptly made a mistake and re-filmed the part, forgetting to credit you!!! Sorry mate! This was never gonna be a speed demon, apart from the flimsy gearbox, I don't want to smash up that lovely hard body! All the best to you, too, and may your weekend also be good! 😎👍
