| description | Here is my latest project…Bruiser #3. I have pieced this entire thing together, right down to the last nut and bolt. It took me some time, but I really had to have a Bruiser that I could run and run hard, not worrying about the paint job or something getting cracked or broken. The frame and all metal bits received a cleaning and polishing, prior to assembly. Even though this is a runner, I could not bring myself to assemble it without proper cleaning and polishing of all metal parts. The body on the other hand, remains as-is from the previous owner…including all the scuffs, scrapes and road-rash. Eventually I will strip and re-paint this body, but for now – the yellow with blue stripes is staying. I cleaned and rebuilt the transmission and now this thing shifts through all 3 gears, like a dream. All axles were cleaned and re-greased. I finished this off with a replica mirror (…a big thanks to Cul-Tech for the mirror!). This truck has been extremely fun to drive and I guess it is inevitable that this will someday become another shelfer, but until then – I plan to drive this like it was meant to be driven. Comments are always welcome!

pic 1 is awesome,,,,a great shot dude
Thanks Steve! This was the first in the series of annual 'big-air' events for the bruiser!
Only Bruiser on TamiyaClub I can remember catching some serious air- NICE
Thanks ukzz4iroc! I like getting a little crazy with this truck...on occasion!
Don't know how I missed these shots!! This is awesome and exactly what the club is about- using these rarities no matter how special. Not seen many Bruiser's taking air- you nutter!
Miga - Thank you for the kind words! This truck is very fun to drive!
never seen a Bruiser jumping that high
Nice action shots of your Bruiser. First & last pic is the best.
backtomyroots - thankyou for the kind words! this truck was a lot of fun to piece together and then even more fun to be able to drive it!
How did I miss these shots ? Fantastic photography !
Thank you all for your generous comments! We had fun taking these pictures!
Fantastic action shots!
Nothing better than a bruiser in air! nice one
Great photos as is should be driven.
Always nice to see a bruiser in the air!!
Thank you all for the very nice comments! Mr.Nismo, currently I am only running a single Towerhobbies 1500mah-6cell. I plan on rewiring this soon, for two 6cells in parallel...hopefully it will give me a little more run-time. This truck is really fun to drive and the addition of the ESC really helps it crawl at those low speeds too.
cool shots...nice to see one get used the way it was meant to be
Good man. Nice to see an old 3 speed getting some air.
quality photos
The first picture would make a great poster!
Nice airbourne shots
Always great to see those 3-speeds fly!! What kind of battery are you running with?
Wow, getting some big air there considering how heavy these things are - well done that man.
Thanks much for the kind words! This particular truck of mine was built to run! These pic's are just a reminder of what these trucks could do, since most of the Bruisers these days are not run hard. I know there are not too many pic's of high-flying Bruisers...so I wanted to put these pic's out there for others to enjoy.
A BRUISER airbourne, Love the pic's!!!!!
Great Action Shots Fella
