Vintage Tamiya Bruiser with Hitec Focus 4 Channel FM Radio With Misc Parts
This vintage Tamiya Bruiser truck is a great addition to any collector’s or hobbyist’s collection. The truck comes complete with a Hitec Focus 4 Channel FM Radio and various miscellaneous parts. I used a copy of the original manual (included) to put it together. As I went along I cleaned everything, blasted all metal parts and painted satin black. I completely took apart the transmission and cleaned it very well before putting it back together with proper lube and replaced and parts that were worn. I found a rebuild manual for that as well that’s included. All the shocks and axles got attention with lube as well during the rebuild. I also used SS screws for everything and used aluminum lower shock mounts instead of the stock plastic ones. It has all the running gear installed but will need batteries. The ESC is a Novak XPS. This is the only thing that will probably need replaced. Something burnt out in it and only reverse works. I reversed the polarity so I could drive it forward. Everything you see is included. I have an empty battery box because I had planned to put new batteries back in it to make it look original. I have not tried to charge the complete battery I have but I can’t imagine it holds much of a charge at all.
