RC ADVENTURES - ALTERED BEAST 4X4 - Rebuild BV5 - Scale Engine, Winch

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!

Questions & Answers: 1) "Your Plug wires are going in the wrong spot" 1A) My plug wires are in the right spot for the type of engine I wanted. . 2) "The engine should be in the front" 2a) In a proper rock & trail buggy - an engine is perfectly fine in the rear, towards the middle. Especially surrounded by a cage. . 3) "Your fake engine is on the wrong way" 3a) Actually - it on the proper way. Are you referring to the forced air induction scoop? If I was travelling at great speeds.. you would be correct.. But as it is only trailing, and crawling - it gets plenty of air. Important thing to remember fellow RC Addicts - It's a Toy, and is meant for fun. Imagination is the key.. :-)

[@dawsonboys8296]

+RCSparks Studio™ I agree on number 2and 3 that's just idiots talking but on number 1 what kind of engine were you going for

[@REPTARisaG]

RCSparks Studio Facts and it's BEAST!

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Sorry i look sooo tired.. being a new Dad will do that to ya!! Haha, So many amazing ways to enjoy RC! I hope you are all enjoying the build.. and now .. the wait for parts begins.. The parts Im waiting for will take a few weeks to get here.. but worry NOT! I will start another project very soon :~) A Like Click is always appreciated !

[@squiggysuhr4468]

when did the baby come Medic. Did you name him Medic Jr. LOL

[@thejondudeman1]

Squiggy Suhr his name is Aaron actually :D

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Legacy PvM His official name is "Maurice Aaron David Bidochka" Maurice was my Grand Father, Aaron is Me, and David is JEM's Father. 3 Generations of family :~)

[@thejondudeman1]

I just remembered Aaron but that's an awesome name! the Bidochka, is that Canadian or what?

[@pbenjlo]

I thought you were just high... congrats for the baby! wish you the best

[@aaronhartin4064]

Hello Aaron . I've loved your vids from the first one I saw ! Congrats on fatherhood ! I'm also a new father and think this is the most tired I've ever been .... And I love every second of it ! Keep posative my friend we all appreciate it !!

[@JohnMSnyder]

A million thank you's for telling us where the motor came from! I have been looking for the same exact thing for weeks. Another guy had one but wouldn't say where he got it from. Ignorant bastard! You rock man! Thanks for the awesome video and info!

[@TheRealRCSparks]

It's a pleasure my friend :) The engine was very inexpensive .. .like 5$ ! haha..!

[@JohnMSnyder]

***** You are exactly right! Thanks to your plug for them in your video I went to their site and found it! I just ordered one! Along with a NOS tanks. I can't wait for them to show up.

[@deantyjules]

John M Snyder

[@aarondavis673]

That thing reminds me of a monster truck, with the suspension, the body, the frame and of course the rear mounted scale motor! Can't wait to see it in action!

[@jasonbeaugrand5382]

It's just a toy people!!! The joy of the hobby is learning and custom work! Rock on medic, looks a mighty nice I reckon

[@doublea-ron7249]

The hex wrench and making the engine rumble was sweet. Nice creativity.

[@scaccima]

The Beast is a BEAST! I can't wait for the next installment.

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Note: unless it's a over head cam motor, plugs go through the valve cover. Like the 4.6 dohc import motors, and a lot more - including the HEMi

[@rcdesynz]

Not if it's a standard, old school V8. Then the plugs are in the side of the heads.

[@Warndog9]

Ryan Davis watch?v=cWUomjdI9vk Is that old school enough for you?

[@rcdesynz]

Ha. Good call. The classic HEMI!

[@DrDaniel98521]

For a second i thought that shaft going from the spur into the fake hemi was a make shift scale drive shaft! But i was wondering why you put it in the oil pan, lol then u pointed out that it was a "rumble feature"

[@monicamacias3874]

Del 4

[@lefebvreranch]

I love the casual manner and flow in which you use the "that's what she said" joke lol great build medic

[@losisupertruck04]

Seriously, how much more awesome can this truck get?!?!?!

[@jamesshaw5590]

Well for what it's worth, I think your placement of your wires are perfect, I would have done the very same. If anyone else wants it different on their motor, well that will be up to them. I had an old saying when my kids where growing up= the most important word in my design was (my) so if you want to do it different on your motor, it would be (your) motor. Keep up the new, and innovations of opening our eyes to new possibilities, and ideas! Thank you my friend, good job to you from (grampajim)

[@ferndogg310]

Wow! I like the colors! Inspired the ferndogg.

[@CarsNToys]

Very cool. Well done

[@scottfirman]

I have been detailing model vehicle engines since I was 14. I wont tell you how long ago that really was but a while. I still do models in the winter. I have just gotten back into RC vehicles,mostly mine fly. If I ever do an open motor style,I will definitely detail everything out. I even make my own parts using sculpy mold clay or cast my own.

[@sirbutters3107]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! Love the truck the engine looks great and from a mechanics perspective yes the spark plugs are in most valve covers

[@eskapetoreality]

Just a quick suggestion to make the engine even sweeter. Put a micro servo with linkage connected to the butterfly valves on the engine and sync it to the throttle.

[@kongvang4132]

That's awesome!! Not that you asked, but I would put the engine in the front and have the hood cut out so the blower sticks out.

[@tmaxx1995]

Medic this is gonna be one Beast of a TRUCK!!!! I love it man!!!

[@dustybarnes2222]

i cant explain to you how much i like this rc! thanks for posting, keep up the good work!

[@iraceaquad]

looks great cant wait to see it on the trail!

[@jonnybgood-xj5bk]

Kool, I can't believe u do the same thing. I do it on my model cars I tear them down, remove the engine paint it to look more legit and add all the wires even for the battery, it takes a wile but the finish product look so sweet.

[@FabioZanholo]

That's is getting awesome medic.... Keep doing those vids ... And... Congrats for your son... Have a good day ... A Brazilian Fan... Rc Addict ...

[@issama7g]

Awsome!!!!! Can't wait to see it finished!

[@RcNickster709]

Another great Vid medic. Love the look of that thing. Cant wait to see this thing run. Liked as usual

[@littlekenster9188]

It's looking pretty freaking sweet so far. Keep it up.

[@Deadbydawn71]

That model is brutal!

[@anjrulaw4986]

You guys are Amazing don't stop RCing

[@ronhughley6510]

I like this the red wires add to the realism and the engine is pretty cool how it rocks back and forth from the Cross wrench it could have probably fit it under the hood too and have the blower stick out of the hood that'd been pretty cool too

[@timcruze11]

My favorite build of yours yet!

[@dannyoaks85]

Awesome, it looks like the motor drives the transmission. Tip. 1/4 inch brake tubing makes great scale exhaust pipe

[@truedeadman]

Love the motor look. As soon as I saw you bust it out, I thought of the exact same location and thought "how could he make it look like it's actually hooked to the real motors?" Can't wait to see more. Keep up the good work, medic

[@dstan128]

Hi love seeing the beast being rebuilt hope to see a vid when its finished out on the trails

[@unclejsgaragetakacs7280]

Love it man, watch your videos everyday, always looking forward to seeing what is next!! Been into the hobby 15 years and still meeting cool people and having fun!!.

[@JimiGRCrazy]

Thanks for the tips you did a great Job with the whole truck keep up the good work

[@mikesenf8211]

cant wait to see it on the trail

[@mlubecke]

Just reading viewer comments .... Wow... Everything is wrong, that makes it so right! Lol... Great build ! Still wanna see you pull the sled with this guy.... Love the look you are going for...

[@MrElf31]

I love it. Your great at the realism stuff Medic.

[@P0110X]

art will learn from this man, amazing job!

[@kongvang4132]

Congrats to you and your wife!

[@IRONMAIANI]

Can't believe I was looking for the next video 1min after you posted it! Awesome!

[@ladslegoland6540]

BEAST it is!!

[@chrystallawrence9716]

you make the best videos ever you got me into the rc hobby so thanks

[@Codesempire]

You make me laugh bro. Thumbs up for sure. That looked like it said cars 2 on it. That's pretty cool idea.

[@justinbarber8332]

I saw those engines earlier this year but I thought they were too small for an scx10... boy was I wrong! Looks great!

[@1978300ford]

Its a monster. Loving it.

[@puffmonster689]

loving this build!

[@CrazyRC241]

Dude medic you need to hook the fuel line from the fuel tank up to the engines carb too 100% Well after a sound system and lights of course lol great build so far medic!

[@bomac10]

Wow thinking ahead is the way to go and you make it seem easy. besides your action videos that I love your information on an instructional videos of awesome I am learning a lot. Ths bro

[@DakotaSewell]

Hey medic maybe for future projects you could incorporate the electric motors in the scale engine like cut out a part so the engine would fit in it (thats what she said). Or you could have the model engine as a cover for the electric engine.you don't have to do any of these if you don't want to just throwing it out there for ideas. Anyway congratulations on the baby and love the build looks so good hope to see in future vids.

[@Galaxy20Wolf]

Allways look awesome.

[@Captncouth]

just ordered the Hemi and the V8 overhead cam. Thanks dude!

[@my69opelgt]

awesome looking truck! that was a good find on that model engine. hope the little one arrived ok :) ours will be with us by the time you finish the Beast lol

[@ChromolyCowboy]

I think it would look really cool if you put on a magneto to go with the wires. But it still looks really cool!

[@IhateYoutube]

Very creative and looks great. The only issue I see is the hex you cut down and ran into the engine, as that thing spins it's going to melt the plastic of the engine. I think long term you may need to permanently mount the engine and have some sort of bearing block inside to support the rotation of the shaft coming off of the slipper clutch. Looks fantastic!

[@RCRRemoteControlRichard]

Hey Medic, maybe put a little paint or markers on the "drive shaft" so that you can see more clearly that it is spinning!

[@THEchikinugt102]

loving the build!!!!!!!

[@TheBluntmancronic]

For the ppl saying the motor should be the other way in a real life monster truck there backwards just like how medic has it and that's a good idea medic I like is. Good work

[@androidgames2519]

awesome build!

[@dylankuntz6263]

Love the revival, one thing I noticed though was it looks very tall with the shocks ad tires with that metal cage you might roll easy so you might want to lower it (idk if it would be best to adjust the suspension or the tire pressure). But hey its your rc so do what you want :) and love the engine that is so cool for $6

[@carlvanwagner6259]

love the idea of using the wheel wrench as a drive shaft to the transmission. it gives it that extra little bit of scale realism. just a thought though I could see the wrench after time melting or tearing up the plastic on the engine. what about finding a bearing big enough to go on the small end of the wrench and pressing that in to the back of the scale motor. just an idea. cant wait to see the beast in action

[@Greenhairchris]

Hey man u do a good job with the camera. Don't doubt yourself

[@SpecThompsonTV]

Man i do this stuff on my 1/25 scale models! Except everythings a bit more scale lol. Id recommend you try a product called "sophisticated finishes rust" its a 2 part soultion that you apply to anything, and it makes it look like REAL rust. Dead serious. Love it dude. Good luck with your son. Good luck with everything! Take care man.

[@FERGASON5blaze]

Great build brotha diggin that engine.

[@badassjeep1]

wicked build so far medic love seeing the axial builds as im building one right now for my 6yr old son keep em coming

[@aarondavis673]

Also, in the next vid, you should take the capo out. Oh god I miss that beast on camera!

[@Benjamingt4]

Medic, you should turn that motor 180 degrees. Thats how it is in real live, the blowers valves should be pointing forwards

[@ZeD69420]

Looks great

[@MrWeemann56]

That's so sick medic it looks beastly get it

[@crazyskullcrusha]

I like your build so far! The truck is looking great. As for the valve covers....maybe in the future the spark plug wires will go through the valve covers! Who knows! You may have just invented a new technology! Keep it up man....I'm subscribed and enjoying the videos. peace.

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Lol ;) A hemi Engine has Spark Plug Wires through the valve covers now bro!

[@theleafandashpodcast]

Sweet build.

[@MyPuppers]

very cool ideas! gonna be a great looking rig!

[@kemal2551]

Very nice scale sheap prop for the beast.

[@frankc762]

Looks like the old bigfoot monster trucks love it

[@TheImtoomuch]

Awesome idea and good find on that motor. Congrats on the baby and future RC addict. BTW I just noticed that your watermark (your head) at the top right of your videos looks like you and Randy "The Macho Man" Savage from the old WWF! Pretty cool.

[@aj062794able]

I love the stuff you do I am really wanting to get in to rcing because of your videos. It looks like so much fun

[@MrHotshot417]

I built one back when I was in universal studios in 2010 and I didn't see them awsom motors!

[@DerkuiDerkui]

Nice engine! Very creative and thoughtful.

[@tseebyaaj6392]

that thing really looks like a beast.

[@MrDbutcher]

Looks real cool !

[@ingis76]

This will be cool Medic, keep it up :-D

[@seanmadison1985]

I think axial radiator from the eco would be a cool add on to that motor. To cool. Lookin good

[@triplexrcgarage1499]

Sweet video!! Love the rig and that motor. That's crazy I have been there and never thought abought about getting stuff from there lol 🤔 there's also one of those stores in Myrtle Beach South Carolina at the boardwalk. 👍👍

[@jazzyjair]

I got the same CARS (Disney) motor from the bargain bin at my local Toys R Us for $3!! Using it in a 1/16 Revo Rat Rod body for a good friend in the hospital. Great video, great build. When are you going to visit the scale side of the forgotten topic of drifters? My LHS has given me a basement and the track is underway. Will send pictures as they become available. All the best!

[@Patty__007]

thanks for posting this!!

[@roblewis3719]

your so high in this video its hilarious. that canadian bud like none else

[@joshuaeverhart627]

if your going for realism one thing you should think to add is a set of reverse facing headers that would be sick love the motor set up that bad@$$ love watching your channel keep it up

[@TraxxasFreaks343]

Aha I knew that's where that winch was going to!

[@mashedpotatoes5323]

"a dab will do you", lit af

[@warcraftavengerswow8405]

medic your epic as always

[@Anonymuz187]

So slick dude ...someone needs to threaten a company or two so you get the parts quicker lol.... Maybe it's just me but I need some more capo run vids that thing is a monster... I watched the vid with a fellow rc head and the capo would look remarkable with a mat black paint job... Thumbs up on another epic build

[@zinorc6811]

Nice engine!!😮

[@mckenziethompson6]

That's freaking epic

[@vibe808]

Very cool stuff!

[@jacobmoore7562]

I would of put the fake engine in the front but its your build and it still looks awesome in the back. Btw it's looking good

[@georgejohnson1124]

That's the Balls Man.............!!!

[@joshriggio5971]
