[TRUCKMAKER]

Took one of the originals back in the early mid 80's got rid of the tranny, took a tranny out of the tamiya frog mounted it side ways in the chassis, made new drive shafts to go from the bruiser axles to the frog trans, mounted 8 of the biggest tires (duals) you could find at the time, used some brass to raise the suspension, painted a F150 body yellow orange and red. Had one dirt throwing RC Monster truck before any one released a monster truck. Took it to an annual RC race in Indy that was called Cabin Fever and got a picture of it in a rc magizine of the time period. It was a lot of fun and at the time got a lot of attention!

I love that they are re-releasing all the old stuff, with some mods to make it more driveable! I got my Subaru Brat, Fast Attack Vehicle, and my kid got a Hornet, all of which I had back in the day! The Blazin' Blazer was my dream vehicle, though, and I think I'll wait a bit and see if they come out with that one before I get a Bruiser, but it will be a hard choice.....
