Tamiya Bruiser/Mountain Rider Front Mount Steering Mod

[@peanutxtra]

Thanks for the tip brother! I am building a Mountain rider at the moment with my 12 year son. Great fun!

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Cheers man and thanks for watching

[@SonGokusa666]

Good looking mod, and just what I needed. I'll be doing that to my Mountain Rider this week for my winter overhaul/upgrade project. Thanks for the upload!

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

You're welcome. Glad you found it useful.

[@madtopp]

this looks like the perfect option for the upfront servo . I am gonna use this on my bruiser as I really ain't happy with the stock setup. just gotta persuade the seller to send one to the uk

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+madtopp nice man. I hope you can get one. It is a great set up

[@madtopp]

Unfortunately I can't get one has the seller won't ship to the UK

[@sebastiansaint859]

Good job. But do u have a video of the actual bruiser with that front steering? How it worked? Thank you

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

No, sorry

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Thanks bro. Glad you liked it.

[@scalerc4x4]

I might have to give this a try. 👍

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Sweet man. It is so much better than the stock setup. If you need any help just give me a holla

[@scalerc4x4]

For sure dude.

[@yoodoo122]

WWhat was the clearance like when you installed the motor??

[@xbox7]

Nice, I like the color of the metal frame, what color is it? Gunmetal? I'd spray some DC30 on it to stop rust or whatever you have in Australia or where ever you live

[@drewledford9348]

It is still out there

[@Modifier-RCs]

Got a suggestion. If you reverse the knuckles you would get more steering I believe. I would like to see more mods on this rig, I recently got one. Thank you.

[@bofuthereturn]

you got a link on where to get the parts?

[@mariolitta3590]

Looks great but does it fit with the motor, too?

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Of course

[@xefactinus9]

great video.Thank you for the mod.what is the name of company that makes the part?

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

No problem glad you liked it. I brought it from ebay tem: CNC standard servo mount For standard servo pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=281700296177&alt=web

[@simoncurtin2541]

excellent video

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

[@richarddaly9018]

Is that the original Tamiya servo saver on the steering servo?

[@nathankendall3467]

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

[@KevinMillard68]

+RC Tanks & Trucks 24/7 your welcome

[@jjab99]

Good job mate and keep up the great work!

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Thanks for watching. Muchly appreciated

[@peterleung8014]

seems the pumpkin would hit the servo horn when the suspension is fully compressed

[@markougresic8686]

Hi. I watch your movie and it's really great. I just bought a bruiser kit, and i have one problem/question. I am doing shock absorbers and when I press/push them, they remain like that, they do not come back/reverse, doesnt pop back out. I read somewher that this is normal for oil shock absorbers but i am not sure. Can you please help me with this.

[@ianfosterbonizzoni]

Hi, maybe you need one or two more drops of oil in each damper?

[@user-bd5md5cm2j]

There not actual shocks. They won't hold oil. There a damper only. Buy actual shocks. The problem is that the leaf spring is so stiff that adding shocks makes the suspension extremely stiff

[@rdpancake]

i real can't understand why you didn't take the steering arm on the axle and move it to the other side, that way the drag link would be straight and you would get way more steering out of it

[@A_Man_In_His_Van]

Firstruss Lastdale flip the knuckles and fix the geometry.

[@madtopp]

I finally managed to find a uk seller and brought one a great mod what size tierod you used

[@MrGibbie2210]

put a link where you got the mod mate, please

[@mikeymike3240]

Hi there stevo, great steering mod, i just got the tamiya bruiser re-re and was wondering if you know the part number of the pins needed to lock the diffs. I've no box or instructions. Any help would be appreciated. 😀👍👍👍

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Sorry man, I no longer have the car

[@user-bd5md5cm2j]

Did you find your info on the pins for lockers?

[@Modifier-RCs]

Can you try that mod I suggested. I'm waiting for servos and bracket that I ordered, otherwise I would do it.

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

I don't have the car any more unfortunately

[@just.jose.youtube]

Still helping people 8 years later! :p Does anyone know where do I find the servo brackets used in the video? :)

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Don't think they sell them now

[@bionicmonkey25]

Can you please let me know what the length is of the steering linkage you used? I bought a pre-owned bruiser that didn't come with the stock linkage and I'm looking to replace with aftermarket. I have the servo installed but still need the linkage. Thank you!

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+bionicmonkey25 hey maid, sorry I have sold this a while back.

[@bionicmonkey25]

RC Tanks & Trucks 24/7 no problem, thanks for the vid regardless!

[@RRTS]

hi where did u buy the metal servo holder?

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+Rc Rigs & Truckers hey man, from memory I got it from eBay. If I can find the link I will let you know.

[@RRTS]

RC Tanks & Trucks 24/7 sure pls let me have the link once u found

[@Quang_Tran_asdf]

Can I have the detailed drawing, or dimensions,...? I don't have equipment and probably I'll have to ask someone else to do this

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

I don't have the car anymore. Sorry.

[@drewledford9348]

Can someone post a link for the mount? I cannot find it.

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

Yeah doesnt exist anymore unfortunately

[@mikeg2159]
