1.55 Tamiya Subaru Brat build (STRC)

[Crawl Space]

Got any more videos of the brat in action? BTW, I started my class 1 Isuzu Amigo build so you'll have another hardbody class 1 buddy if we ever meet up to crawl. I put a link in there to your thread as well "thumbsup"

I'll get more video soon. I saw your build thread; excited to see how it goes. Thanks for the call-out!

Can you post some pics of your CMS system? Since I'm running the same chassis and links I'm curious which mount you are using and how you have everything set up. Also, if you are able to, could you post a quick video, with the body off, of your wheels turning lock to lock? I want to see how everything is aligned. Thanks!

I'm not running a CMS. I have the axle mounted servo

WOW, I am way over due for updates. So after 2 Axialfests, and probably 30 G6's here they are!

I ended up buying a real Brat, so naturally I had to make my RC look like it and repaint it. In the process, I added an exo cage from Gary Paisley (RC trailors) on FB. I also added some Vanquish Q series lights. I also changed the electronics to a HH BRXL waterprrof, and a 16T crawlmaster pro and a cantilever set up for the rear


Never go full retard...I did

and the 1:1

Than Santa came with some Curries

So the stock bumper kept catching on stuff tearing the body up, so my buddy Carl hooked me up with this sweet tire carrier, and bumper. Bonus is is that it acts like a rear Stinger and keeps me from flipping over on steep climbs (which is crucial on a SWB).

Yes, I got the Vanquish 10th anniversary JK and Knights custom kit!!
