My New....

[savage100]

Bruiser!!!!! I got it off ebay and it came yesterday. I don't know exactly what i'm going to do with it yet, but i think some geos and maybe a pede tranny, but i might keep the 3 speed in there. It doesn't run yet because i need some matching plugs for the battery and need to charge the radio. Let me know what you think. If you have any ideas on what you would do to it, let me know. Oh, and im 15, and don't have an unlimited budget, so try to keep that in mind.

you have a bruiser.....you suck. period.

You could make a bundle off that bad boy from some of the crawler nuts around here. :) That truck is older then you.

[balang_479]

oh your Norcal Crawler on RCCrawler.... anyway.. awesome find, for 600 bucks its a bargain from ive heard bruisers are going for these days.

[4DMNYC]

Dude....score! It looks to be in great shape too. Wanna trade? :D

[savage100]

Zman, i will do a build up of it soon. But it isn't going to be a huge build up, just a few things. I will get some new tires, maybe paint the body, and do some other stuff to it. The only problem i am having right now, is that i dont know about these stick type controllers much. Apparently, they are for aircraft, but with a certain crystal, i think 75 mhz, it is a ground controller. I have two controllers for it now. One, i got from my grandpa for a heli, and one that came with it. The one that came with it has a crystal in the transmitter, but not in the reciever so i am going to have to get a new crystal set. If anyone could explain a little to me about what is needed to controll it so i am on a ground frequency and not an air.

CharlieS, i know that i could make a lot, but i am a crawler nut too, so i am going to keep it. But it was in such a nice conditon i could just take it apart, clean it, and sell it for $200 more. It is that nice and clean.

4DMNYC, you wish.. :D

This is going to be a runner, also. I didn't spend the most money i have ever spent in my life to just look at something sit on a shelf. :)

wow! :eek: that thing is a big beat piece of junk that should be thrown in the trash can... ok wait, I'll trade you a pair of brand new wheel nuts for that thing... better yet send it to me and I will dispose of it for you. :D
seriously, nice buy, I've wanted one of those since they first came out...

[4DMNYC]

4DMNYC, you wish.. :D


LMAO :p I tried ;) How much did you end up paying BTW?

[savage100]

I paid a tad over 600 for it, but the truck was actually only 540, but shipping was 80 freaking dollars :eek: . And then it took about a week to ship it here. $80 for a week shipping!!!! :confused: :mad:

[4DMNYC]

It was worth it.

[savage100]

Yes it was. I fainted when i saw it then everything was spinning and i could hear voices off in the distance.









Not really, but i was excited. :D

If you change anything on that car, you are a disgrace to the entire r/c community.

dude...whatever you do, dont cut anything off and keep the old parts nomatter what. dont lose anything. you can get 800 bucks for that easy so if you mod it up or anything, dont take anything off that cant be put back on or anything.

[calvin3]

Congrats! Don't do a thing to it!

Your missing a few things here and there but a good score. (front and rear bumpers)
Here is mine before I sold it. I sold the chassis alone for $450.

[savage100]

I got front/rear bumpers also, and the rear body mount. But they weren't put on. Oh, and for those who think i'm crazy because i started with a bruiser and dont' have unlimited money, well the bruiser is why. I could have gotten something else for the same price, but all pretty and fixed up good, but i chose this instead. I don't think i made a bad decision.
