RC ADVENTURES - ALTERED BEAST 4X4 - Rebuild BV3 - Axles & Suspension

www.RCSparks.com - This is a great time for me to start on a little side project I wanted to get going. I purchased a tube chassis from ebay, that had a painted Ford body I liked. Not only that.. it had some customizations that I really liked. I see much potential in this rig, so I figured it was time to bust out the old BEAST TRUCK. It has seen so many RC ADVENTURES videos, and entertained millions.. so, to pay it the respect its owed, and overhaul and restoration is required!
I start by inspecting my one of my original TTC Trucks I build called "The Beast". It was based off of an Axial SCX10 Trail Truck - a Toyota Honcho, I believe. After many upgrades and wins, and failures, the truck has been through hell and back. I hadn't done any maintenance and NOW IM PAYiNG THE PRiCE! I figured this was as good of times as any to show off what happens when you neglect awesome Radio Control hobby products after heavy use!
Now I have a complete rebuild on my hands..
No worries though, Im up to the challenge!

Hello James! Well thank you my friend.. after 5 years of doing these videos.. and reading comments - I have been able to incorporate a slow, methodical way of trying to answer questions in the film - before they are asked in the comment section. You are correct - being sleep deprived makes it more challenging - but definitely, i love the entire process.. Thanks for commenting!

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Any day is a Great DAY to RC!

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Just wait until the truck is done.. you will see why I stuck with the chrome ;) I know everyone has different tastes, but I always encourage folks to wait until they see the finished product. I have a surprise coming.. that no one expects

[@jamesshaw5590]

Your ability to concentrate, and speak clearly and slow enough, that an old man from Kansas/USA can follow along is a very rare quality, and a attribute for a sleep deprived new father. I'm really digging the Ford crawler-(that's now on my Christmas list) I've been checking your site often, and anxiously awaiting your next video!

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Truth be known my friend.. the beast has been changed many many many times! Like the Charger from the Dukes of Hazzard.. there has been many trucks sacrificed for RC Adventures! :)

[@gianidis641]

hey medic your job inspires me to keep going and have fun whith my rc thank for everithink you to all this years and please keep up the exelent job (i think that you and jem will be the perfect parents for your litle child)

[@MrAuz4]

Hey Medic, the Beast is sweet! You should put Wraith axles on the Beast and make it even more awesome! Search Wroncho, lots of people do that and I think it is pretty cool!

[@pavelvas]

Super oldschool series about SCX10! Like back in the days. Thank you Aaron!

[@MrMaster2017]

looking good medic just as a suggestion you could put on some blue king off road piggy backs in the front to kinda go with the color theme but in the back those chromed shocks look really nice

[@Moyersteven1]

I love this build!!! Thank you for showing those shocks. I watched some of your older videos and have seen them. I thought they were the MSR10 but wasn't 100% sure! Now time to put them on my Ridgecrest!!!

[@weasle48]

they are what help control how fast the shock actually moves. if u look close u can see at least one hole in the actual ring. that allows the oil to pass through. the more holes in the ring the less resistance that shock encounters while moving making it a faster moving shock.

[@MrDengo999]

THIS EPISODE OF RC SPARKS IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY DJ MEDIC THE FORCE OF AWESOME!

[@anataking]

I don't know why but these are the video's I love!

[@33NFL]

you should you the rc4wd scale king shocks it would look ay more scale and keep the scale look of it already rather then those really big shocks. great video too always love your videos

[@Gidanski]

If you wanna lube up those spur and pinion teeth maybe try some motorcycle chain spray lube. Its designed to not attract dust and be water resistant.

[@T0byT0bester]

You should run the predator tracks but link them together so it like a tank. Thank would look epic. Or just save the idea for a different build.

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Yes :~)

[@2cwik4u104]

wow, looking great. I like the lifted truck look.

[@CWR2011RC]

Awesome build, totally likeing the shocks, sweet look.

[@Jon-sk2dm]

That is the coolest rc I have seen besides overkill

[@TSully2013]

Glad to see you back in the studio

[@smrdmr1]

I'm not usually a fan of Integy, but those shocks are great looking, let us know how they perform.

[@joshriggio5971]

loving the truck all ready and the shocks are hard core would not change a thing hey and loving the ride hight if it dis have a high gravity witch it may can try and turn the trans side way so the motors on flat on the deck and not over the top as that will add to the tip if had them flat on the deck would help drop the tip point. loving your work hear in Australia keep it up mate

[@SAMSTRECKER]

This is sorta showing you how good the marine grease works.

[@chevy77rracer]

Damn medic, that's lookin badass already, leave it higher it'll look awesome!!

[@GrandPappySmooth]

Yea I'm really enjoying this series too

[@MarijnKonings]

You could paint the outside of the shocks if you want them to be a different colour.

[@BladeDreams]

Great work! Personally I dont like rear steer on anything this small... more issues then you gain... eh... just my preference ;) How's the wify and kidy doin? You must, just must do a video on the "family" for us to see and meet him. Thanks for all your work.

[@JZjr_1]

I love these kinds of biulds.

[@rafa37523]

Hey medic, I love those shocks too, I use them with 2 springs inside, they work flawless this way, silver spring inside the can and the black one between the white pistons, hope you givi it a try.

[@albin0m0nkey]

Love the build so far. Been wanting to get an scx10 for a while. I really enjoy your videos. Can't wait to see how the beast turns out.

[@EQINOX187]

Damn you for teasing us with the tires at the end then cutting it short lol. As for the shocks i like them tho as for color i think red ones would look really good as they would match the gear box and the fake fuel tank at the rear. Great vid

[@jacobhendrickson8935]

Sorry medic but I'm a fan of the King shocks they look more scale and the blue anodize would be awesome with your truck. But it's not about what I like I know. I totally agree that the plastic axles a all you need I love them.

[@elkinst66]

I love this truck being this tall!!! all it needs are some tractor treads for the ttc mud bog and it would dominate! and by the way its been a while since we have seen jem, has she had the baby yet!? if so I hope everything is going well. a fellow rc addict!

[@garybob3814]

man im jealous at your skill doing this i want a nice rc but cant afford one saving for one but yea..... ive watched your channel from day 1 keep it up bro

[@TheRealRCSparks]

more clearance my friend :~)

[@powellethan01]

You should use tamiya suspension it is a oil and spring and very adjustable

[@nialsimes7674]

Awesome build there

[@tristencr125]

Such a cliff hanger lol, can't wait to see the tires it looks sick

[@Ivu100]

[@daz1975ify]

Loving this build Medic just orderd one of the tekin motors,they are super smooth torque monsters!!.Cant wait to see the suprise.

[@jamesshaw5590]

My son just got a brand new Axial scx10 jeep, and the instruction book has a section for water proofing, so I told my son to keep it out of the wet stuff until he water proofs it, he told me-(too late Dad)-I submarine it already, and it still works, but I think he just got lucky!

[@tyhil7614]

I snapped both my drive shafts within the first 2 day of putting in my tekin 75t brushed motor

[@FriskyPandah]

Medic you should try an fpv system I heard their great and cheap

[@blubellefarm2467]

[@spacebooby]

[@GeckoGuy]

how about a video of your rc motorcycle? its been a while.

[@blakeparker409]

I need to get me a set of those shocks!

[@GrandPappySmooth]

Any chance the beast wants 2.2 rock crusher from rc4wd or any 2.2 for that matter but on the side looks like a little military logo so the rock croshers look like a military spec tire and would look sick

[@T0byT0bester]

How is Jem and bub going??? Like if you want to know as well.

[@issafk8]

Please upload the next one!

[@NS3644]

gr8 vid as always. keep up the good work and will wait for what type of tyres you'll choose.

[@spartankills12]

Is it going to have dual drift tires all around? That's about as far out as it can get!! :)

[@Dubose_Adventures]

Heyy medic just something I wanted to tell people about I had lost a spring holder on the shock of my hpi mini recon and I took and old pen and used the end of it as new spring holder and it works great I just wanted to tell everyone and I love all ur vids
