RC ADVENTURES - CHEAP! Gorilla Tape Wheel Wells! ALTERED BEAST 4X4 - Rebuild BV8 -

www.RCSparks.com - Time to show off a cool technique that is CHEAP - and EVERYONE CAN DO iT! GORiLLA TAPE Wheel Wells! This stuff cost me about 8-9 bucks for a HUGE roll of tape.. and It is super strong.. In fact, I have been using it for a few years, just never thought to mention it. Well, in this video - I use a Dremel Cutting tool to open up my hood on the "ALTERED BEAST" 4x4 RC Machine.. and build some inexpensive wheel wells and electronics covers over my Team Tekin RX8 ESC.
This idea can be utilized by EVERY SiNGLE RC HOBBYIST out there! Save your RC's from un wanted ONSLAUGHTS of Abuse from Mud and Rocks..and simply build yourself a barrier out of Gorilla tape! I am Stoked to include this on my build. Its unue and will hold up well..
AND NO!! This Video was NOT Endorsed BY, or do they even have prior Knowledge to me using Gorilla Tape in this video.. But dang.. I wish they did. We could do some cool sh!t with it! haha
ENJOY!

I don't comment on a lot of your videos. I know it can be a bit of a pain to keep up with the comments. Just wanted to say love your build ideas and the trial and errs your doing. I do watch almost all your videos. I'm really enjoying this build. keep up the great work! thumbs up from me for sure!

[@theeyx]

I am actually 15 years old and I enjoy every vid from you, Medic! Does not have to be fast all the time. And I understand why you like to don´t go out all the time:-) And you really have my respect for keeping up your great work, while being a father!!

[@BustedRC1]

It is coming along just great. Thanks for taking the time out of your busy parenting schedule to include us in the rebuild of the Beast. Hope Jem and Son are doing well. Get some sleep yourself.

[@DikkieKlijn]

Younger folks dont need everything fast, I like these build videos more than the running ones. Great Build medic!

[@colsonwykes7557]

Absolutely amazing. That is the coolest truck that I've ever scene, because of the scoop in the front onto the esc. It looks so real. You are my inspiration, keep the great work up.

[@zack5614]

As a fairly new dad myself when my daughter was born 18mo ago i stopped rc'ing when she was born but as she started to walk and talk i got back into it slowly and now we rc together! She has driven my rosckslide rs10xt sort of lol. She'll make a good addition to the rc world b4 too long! Cant wait for her 1st rc of her own!!!

[@MrDengo999]

I like that "hoser" shirt!

[@AHughes13]

Medic I'm 13 and I'm loving the build it looks Awesome

[@robbrcnstuff4220]

working on the trucks is the best part of the hobby

[@GTHP52]

I prefer your build vidios to you running vidios and have been watching you for about 3 years now and u still have me hooked, keep it up

[@jalen2143]

I just have to commend you for doing such a good job keeping up with the beast, your baby, and Jem. Good job Medic!

[@MrJohnny2thumbs]

The ALTERED BEAST, just keeps getting better and better with every video you post. love how this is progressing. Thanks medic

[@edwardrichards4634]

Medic is On Fire with the BEAST!!hehehehe Finish it soon as you can, i want to see this beauty climbing!

[@KingQuad450Rider]

I actually dont want him to finish it soon because i love his build vids lol

[@jim8640]

You make some awesome video's !!! I am 45 years old and still going on the model and R/C building so i am into this something fierce. I have been building since i was 14 and i have loved every minute of it. You really do some neat stuff, also the info on parts, web site's and the mods are incredibly helpful. Thank you for the entertainment and the educational incite. ( JIM

[@paulmcnamara16]

No worries my friend being 42 as i am i love watching a build progress in every little detail be fast or painstaking. My builds very rarely end up as originally invisaged. The best builds dont just happen they evolve. So enjoying this one keep tinkering as long as you need buddy i will still be here to see it finished! Awsome job so far man!

[@marvinkiger2698]

Cool video Medic, you keep giving us some cool ideas. Like using stuff that we would have just lying around the garage, house ,or work shop. It's your truck, design it or build it the way you want. It's what the hobby is all about. When you customize the truck, you kinda put part of you into it. I give your videos two thumbs up. I

[@Captncouth]

not getting tired at all dude. More Beast!!

[@ztwntyn8]

Chrysler HEMI engines were notorious for sparkplugs/wires through the huge valve covers. I like both engine concepts, front or rear.

[@Lifesnextadventure1]

Bring it to life Medic!!! We want to see this Beast run Son!

[@Jackedup1269]

Medic I'm happy to watch this every day

[@NicLewis]

Favorite build series yet.

[@rctrippwolf7808]

Can't wait to see this truck finished and on the trail

[@jacobhendrickson8935]

The plugs through the valve covers is fine. You can call it a 426 HEMI even though it's not a dodge. The HEMI had the plugs centered in the cylinder and they ran the wires right through the valve covers. A awesome design And my all time favorite engine.

[@Galaxy20Wolf]

I could never get tired of watching you build. I look forwerd to every episode. And i have a gessing game with my self of what your going to make next. And this time i got it right. you made the hood flp. so cool

[@senorpickle4207]

Ignore all the w*nkers who say this is boring. This is one of the most intricate upgrade/build series I've seen and definitely one of the best so far. Keep up the good work and make sure you show us your new offspring! Thanks again my inspirational bro.

[@rickkentner1713]

Love the inner wells, very clever! I'm doing it!!

[@damedcamera]

No need to apologize dude. I've only been watching for two years but this is the most attentive I've been lol. i LOVE THIS TRUCK :D !!!!

[@TheRealRCSparks]

I wanted to do something back to my roots.. but showcase everything I have learned over the years, my friend :) try to come up with some ideas that can give everyone some new inspiration. I think this is just the beginning Lyle.. we are still going to see so many more amazing trucks come out in the upcoming years. theres some talented mofo's out there that can build great trucks - and your one of em. One of my all time fav trucks - out of the thousands I have seen - is your old rig- the metal truck you took to grotto. Please let me know the next time you do a winter frozen grotto run - I would love to come along!

[@damedcamera]

Brian still has it. I broke it lol. I'm a little ruff sometimes :D Grotto is being heavily requested lately. You got a deal bud :)

[@freedom4survival]

Way cool I love the hood changes it's starting to look like a pretty sweet truck

[@CWR2011RC]

Diggin the BEAST build, lookin sweet. Thumbs up

[@jackbaker7346]

I'm pretty sure no one is unhappy with all these vids thanks man it looks wicked

[@Yourmomsahandle]

Medic that is one sexy looking Ford. The beast is looking better and better, though you should try to put some working headlights up front and on the roll bar.

[@EVERYDAYRC]

Looking good medic! Like the use of the gorilla tape once again. The hinged hood is a great addition as well. Love the model building on the fly! Also love that most of these 30 and under probably font remember the video game Altered beast! That's when there were arcades! Ok I'm dating myself!lol thumbs up buddy!!!!!

[@bookem13]

Hey Medic, Loving this build. The inner fenders are a great touch. Ive done the same thing on my truck. I used some plastic, that I came a cross at work, its soft enough u can bend it a bit and with a bit of careful fitting I was able to make nice fenders for my kit. I get very little mud and water sprayed into the electronics now, makes cleaning up after a muddy run much easier, a quick hose to the bottom and out side and thats about it.

[@spaceman-Krx1000]

Looking pretty sharp there and congratulations on being a dad

[@arcrge3394]

MAN! The Beast is looking amazing! Keep up the great work!

[@Patty__007]

thank you medic for all of the frequent videos!!

[@alextheking1233]

hey medic this is alex davydov i am 13 i love your show i love your cars my favorite is the losi 5t i actualy have one of my own nitro rc car a 1 8 28 engine sct im a big fan and just love your show and congrats on the new born

[@benvk4080]

I like the builds better because it gives us(the viewers) ideas on how to build there truck and what to do to make it look awesome. So keep doing these build videos!

[@MrTrick450]

I love these build videos

[@Deltalloyd85]

This is my favorite build so far

[@gasthemall]

That BEAST needs a pimp behind the wheel. Dam that thing is coming along tuff Medic .. Sweeeeet build.

[@tristencr125]

Headlights would be cool and the gorilla tape idea was awesome, I don't think you need the 2nd motor but whatever you decide it will look awesome.good luck on the build

[@EastCoastCandian]

Congrats on the new babe and being able to make videos during this time I enjoy everyone of them

[@mathewbushell3755]

looks cool medic nice hood scoop!

[@zack5614]

We'll never get tired of your vids i think your builds r awesome! The running video is going to be so sweet!

[@xlegit13]

I love this build series. I have been subbed since very beginning and never missed a Vid. I remember in the early years when I didn't like build or crawling videos but now that is what I really want to see. This build is awesome and cannot wait to get my hands on the SCX10

[@jkflorida]

Hey Medic. You don't have to say sorry all the time. All your work is incredible and anyone who can't see that is just a hater. Keep up the awesome work!

[@jamesshaw5590]

First, and foremost-I Love this build-(always evolving)-changes as it goes along, like a true artist, or like an old wood carver told me: the wood lets me know what to carve as I start to carve, it reveals to me what it wants to be: kind of like you do. Please don't misunderstand because it shows the artist side of you. On another note, watching public broadcasting channel(PBS11)had a show on it called The Red and Green Show. A show about two Canadian's and their lodge, each week they would have a new adventure, trapping, fishing, and general repair. Duct tape was their go to remedy for everything, followed by eh. Thank You for the hard work you do keeping people everywhere entertained while you became your wife's baby Daddy, good job my friend.

[@TheRealRCSparks]

My friend, that is a compliment to be sure!! THANK YOU.. ! Awesome :~)

[@jamesshaw5590]

I'm so glad you took it as a compliment, because that's what I was trying to make. It was late, and I had my evening medical treatment, and sometimes I'm hard to understand, and you remind me of my oldest son, and you remind me of a younger me by the saying:(that's what she said) Thanks again..

[@williammayojr5620]

Awesome build, nice use of the hood hinges .. maybe you could use an old rc hood to dress up the engine area

[@johanwilliam1182]

Awesommmmme !! Only thing needed is alittle light on the windscreen visers and you are done nice build vids man

[@CTRC2]

That truck looks amazing

[@Sam-kn4rb]

Dude you should make your own store because you r great at fixing and building rc's. :)

[@colecaldwell187]

hey medic I think it would be cool if you took the valve covers of the motor in the back and make it look like a real motor up front and replace the empty place in the back with something different but I love your videos and this build with me being a old school ford fan!!

[@rcaddict4363]

No man i like watching your amazing videos in the studio doing the custom builds you do maN!!! KEEP IT UP MAN!!!!!!

[@steveparr7816]

Love the functional parts...truck looks great, great build series

[@TylerRath]

That Turk looks so sick

[@MrNiceGuy562]

The Beast is looking very nice, keep up the good work!

[@dominaterc1472]

That is a good idea you should try doing a video on how make mud flaps that would be cool. Good job your videos are amazing and they are not boring they are fun to watch.

[@4anythinandeverythin]

Should move the body posts to the front corners of the hood to make them look like hood pins (love the build btw)

[@danconnor6591]

Whats up Medic!! Just wanted to say I enjoy your videos. Nice to see you using Gorilla Tape that was made right here in Cincinnati. Also wanted to say the engine you used on Altered Beast gave me inspiration . I used that same engine( with heavy modification) as the rx box lid on my Wraith after watching these videos. Thanks for the ideas and keep up the awesome work.

[@thebruiserbronco7338]

I like the little medic face in the top right corner

[@MulletBreak]

I like most I'm sure love watching build videos everyday since you started the build I've been taking the time to check KZbin for another build video on "The Beast" so all I can say is keep up the good work!

[@andrewenget8881]

I like the 4x4 u get and build and rd construction big fan ur videos

[@ryanwest7060]

This is an amazing build video I all ways love watching your Chanel

[@KnoxGTX]

That is awesome! A trail truck build is next my list after my 1/8 buggy!

[@PvtPapa]

I love build videos, I could watch them all day long! If only you had a discount at PM hobby craft so it'd be easier for you to keep building all the time

[@scaccima]

She's looking good Medic!

[@ladslegoland6540]

Awesome! Us dedicated fans like it all.

[@truedeadman]

Looking good. Good idea for fender wells to try to keep the esc clean and dry

[@leannevanlone9565]

Nice job

[@66dylanashley]

loving the build buddy

[@TillTheCollapse]

in my opinion Building videos are way more Fun than running videos :) thanks medic

[@kimsands7989]

i made a potato cannon using pvc pipe wrapped in gorrilla tape, i use oxygen/acetylene for fuel and the tape holds the forces very well. with out the tape i was splitting the pvc pipe. turning it into a plausible pipe bomb not by choice. strong stuff alright

[@BIKEandSNOW4Life]

I am loving this build medic. You should put a spare tire on the back somewhere

[@harrybrotherton5108]

Medic, your just awesome, been subbed for 2 1/2 years and I watch every vid, I'm definatly not getting bored, partly because ur sick! just keep up the awesome work! 😎

[@thebarker1998]

Loving this build! Looks great with the hinges on the bonnet and it's all starting to come together as I have been following along. Love the vids and congrats on mini medic!! Keep it up!!

[@hillninjasadventures5169]

i all ways watch the build videos...gives me idea for my trucks ..working on putting headlights and light bar on my savage

[@teyyet2004]

Cool way to make homemade wheel wells.

[@NCmoose121]

Hey I got an idea for you lower control arm for your steering. The rock bouncers hook up there winch to there front diff and I think it would be cool and functional to hook your winch to the lower steering arm

[@JuanitoOneFourty7]

The project is actually, pretty cool...remove the engine for the rear. And pick it under the hood haha, and you will have room for a spare tire in the back, maybe two, idk...But you, have plenty of room for the rear to work with, with the engine out. ROCK ON! RC ADVENTURES RC Sparks

[@dawsonmatthys5162]

these are my favorite kind of vids medic always learning new things.

[@jaisebastiani3127]

This is turning into the next OVERKILL

[@Vdubjared]

i get excited everytime i see a new video from you on my Video feed... keep up the good work

[@TK_Mo]

Sweet low cost improvement. I think when I do it I'll paint over the tape with a semi-frexible epoxy to add regidity.

[@chrystallawrence9716]

hey medic in 13 and u got me into rc when I was 11 so thanks

[@bosimpson8900]

Man Medic The Beast is looking awesome keep it up!!!

[@carlozmrc]

I love this series keep it going!

[@Xratedboom]

Looks awesome! The ideas you come up with for this truck are pretty cool, waiting for the next update!

[@levihogge9144]

djmedic I love your videos you give use rc hobbiest some very good ideas an information. do wish you had more 3.3 revo videos . I have watched you for 4 years now keep the good work up . oh I'm looking into getting a killer krawler 2. got to have it lol thanks levi

[@Bruceleezhomie]

Cool that ought to be an awesome truck to watch run! Cannot wait to see it GO!

[@IAMAWESOME2199]

I think its looking great and going to look better when its done. Medic, take all the shortcuts you want because I know the ideas just run through your head when you build a rig.. I'm the same way. I can't wait until the next video!

[@TheRealRCSparks]

Yay! Someone who understands that in order for evolution to happy.. trail and error must occur. Tweaking and tinkering is all apart of the fun!

[@IAMAWESOME2199]

I'm right there with you! When I upgrade, I go all out and its always a trial and error process

[@IDK-be2mb]

I love your blogs and your videos

[@anothermotoguy]

Just when i thought you couldnt do anymore haha BOOM MORE! great jobs man! I love watching your channel.

[@savage45553]

It look so sick I think both motors look sick to thumbs up!

[@troystan393]

Cant get enough rc ...rc sparks Rocks

[@TheRcvid]

Love the build. Cant wait to see the truck in action. I like the build vids more than the running vids because of your great ideas. P.S. love the rear engine.

[@losisupertruck04]

I said this morning on the last build video...Was the last one? Uhhhh...Eh, never mind. I said that I can't wait to see another Beast build video, I get on my laptop, I see you shared it on Facebook...I couldn't ask for a better ending for a Monday. YOU SIR ARE MEPICLY-AWESOME!!! :) Lol!!! Can't wait for the next vid!... I've been looking into making wheel wells for my SCX10, I think I may give your technique a shot.

[@TheRealRCSparks]

I Love your comments my friend.. they are always so up-lifting.. Thank YOU! LST04!

[@ThatOneGuy077]

a good thing is that flex tape is a thing now lol, love that stuff. not as strong but definitely water proof.

[@darkside0914]

your vid pinky and the beast (it had the chevy blazer body at that time) was the very first hobby grade rc vid id ever seen it was the one that made me get into the hobby I love the beast and love how its evolved getting better and better each year

[@LugnNut19]

Very awesome builds
