Whatcha needin? Ah whole nother truck???:confused:

Check e*bay. Many,many peices on there. Not that many on here unfortunately.:o

well im lookin for a new tans mission. this ones just about done it dosent wanna shift no more. some new axles, mainly the hubs are so worn that it has 2wd all the time and some times 3wd. shocks are so bad that i might as well just use rubber bands. i want to turn it into a scale crawler but i just dont have the money right now. and for some reason i cant post any pics of it one here?

You are almost 2 months late. I've "updated" a Bruiser and had lot's of leftovers parts but they are all gone.

Never the less, check e*bay for Bruiser or Mountainner stuff... lot's of things there but, not always cheap ones :(

[mongoose78]

ya ive taken a look at e-bay and some of the stuff for bruiser aint bad but i either don't need or want, and then there are the stuff that they ask WWWAAAAAAAYYYYY too much for. and i just wanna send them a message saying that there on crack. im thinking about just replacing the whole trans with a different one and same witht the axles, maby fabin some parts for it. but i did find a box of old jugg2 parts im thinking of usin along with a bunch of other parts ive collected over the years. maby ill make a rat style crawler, just use parts i find laying around and fabbing parts.

Sry to hijack this thread but, does anyone knows how tall a scale driver is?

I'm planning on putting a driver behind the wheel of my "bruiser" and I don't want the tamiya driver (nothing against him) and looking for some female figures, just to be different, as most people use male figures on their trucks.

[mongoose78]

im not sure. id try some old g.i. joes

Let's see...

If i'm 180cm tall, then 1/10 of that would be 18cm. You'll probably notice though, that not all 1/10 scale vehicles are exactly 1/10 scale.

I don't even know... what a centimeter is?....:LOL:

[teebeehex]

oh Arco, surely you know.

a centipede has 100 feet, therefore a centimetre is 100' long! :D

congrats on making supermod status. :cool:
