    Oh Dear.... (Bruiser clone)

    The Tamiya rere Bruiser manual can be downloaded here...https://www.tamiya.com/english/rc/rcmanual/58519.pdf

    Step 24 has a note to not use any motor other than the kit supplied item 

    For ESC the Hobbywing 1080 is a good choice.  There are more specific crawler biased ESCs with more braking / hill hold type control but again they might put increase strain on the transmission

    You do NOT want a 3S battery anywhere near this truck, original or clone.  

    Thanks @Percymon! I just happened to read about LiPo batteries today as well and I agree that 2 cells lipo is probably the best. I have also decided not to upgrade the motor and electronics for now, until one day I really know what I am doing regarding the electronics.

    Just to share:

    Also, @unixphreak are all P407 ungreased and unoiled?

    I did order one of the kit versions from Toucan. I didn't really need the electronics it comes with and wanted to put it together myself. However though I may order a rtr from Asia tees.

    With the kit, what electronics and battery you planning to use it with?

    I am still new in the hobby but I am thinking some upgrade options in the future

    Note: I don't intend to rock crawl or enter any competitions. Will only run p407 as a bash/trail car, so the stock parts are pretty enough.

    Possible Budget electronics upgrade Options. Will this work?

    Servo: Any recommedations? (steering is weak)

    Battery: any brand 5000 3s lipo

    ESC: Hobbywing QuicRun waterproof crawl ESC

    Motor: Holmes Hobbies trailmaster 550 27T

    Radio: Radiolink RC6GS

    Thanks!

    I will get mine next week. For those who have it, does the out of box p407 has built in lights/engine sounds?

    Sound of the video clips I saw has engine sounds+lights, some don't.

    Some don't have wipers, too. Weird.

    Official variants from HG available so far I've seen from both online and LHS.

    1. Brushed (black) motor with LED/Sound system

    2. Brushed (black) motor without LED/Sounds

    3. Brushed (silver) motor without LED/Sounds

    4. Brushless motor (motor colour unsure)
