I pm'd Spicer for this rig that same day:-(

Glad to see you got it though, Like what you've done so far"thumbsup"

keep up the good work you lucky bastard:ror:

Man this thing is alsome.

great job on the flatbed!!

from what i could tell the flex was limited by the hangers... the spring couldnt quite twist enough. i wasnt really driving it enough to have it bother me so i never fixed it(im pretty lazy most of the time):roll:

Having 2 screws will limit your droop, just like those zip ties will, but the 2 screws shouldn't affect uptravel. I don't see any shocks yet but if you plan to have mostly uptravel then the 2 screws would be fine I think.

This is looking better by the post, I hope mine looks as good when I finnish it. What do you think of the Rummy RC axles adaptors? I got mine in the mail today and they look awesome, I just need a set of axles to attach them to now.

Nice"thumbsup"

Yeah definitely got lucky, he said he had a lot of PMs about it.

The springs are twisting enough, I think the new springs will just need to break in some

Thanks for the info chris"thumbsup"

Nicks parts are awesome, I am bummed I cant use them on this, they seemed so fitting for the truck. But at least I dont have to worry about the internals now.


Today at worked I got the rock sliders brazed up"thumbsup" I think they came out good

Thats just sexy... im gona have to build me another and actually finish it!

Sliders came out great! Are you keeping the hummer wheels? I think they really look the part with the center caps. Once again great work and great pick up of a sweet rig!

man mike i love that truck.... "thumbsup"

Thanks dude"thumbsup"

Yeah Hummer wheels are staying but I want to run either crushers or trail doc XLs and these are glued really well so ill need to find some new ones.

Thanks Keith8)

so did spicer make the chassis himself? or wats the chassis lookin like under there??

Yes Spicer180r scratch built the entire chassis set up. Ill snap a body off shot.

i really need to get my bruiser going... i would like a few body off shots for ideas on building a flatbed beater truck...

great buy mike! that build looks like alot of fun! i am deployed right now and my hilux flatbed is getting turned into a truggy while i am out. can't wait to see this one finished and taking a beating like the clone8)

The sliders look absolutely perfect Mike. :shock: "thumbsup"

The sliders look great, very nice rig. The flat bed rocks and I'm a big fan of Orange.

Mike, your work keeps getting better and better. Great job so far! Will it keep up with my OG?:lol:

I need to put a clear windshield and interior in my rig. It looks 100X better on your rig.

What windshield would you recommend? I know that there is a guy in the UK that makes them but I've also seen a really heavy duty aftermarket shield that I thought was available through bruiser builder.

Rig looks amazing as usual "thumbsup"

Be sure to post up yours once its truggafied :lol:"thumbsup"

Coming from you guys that means a lot, each build I am getting better and better with my tube work. These sliders came out so well I want to re do the ones on the clone now :lol:.

Dean I am going for a little bit more performance on this once, and now that the Bruiser cabs are available I wont be afraid to bash the shit out of this thing :twisted: I am sure this will be done by the next time we meet up and wheel together, then I can wheel with the best of you guys "thumbsup"

Yeah the orange is a very cool color, kinda like a burnt orange. I need to find out what color it is so when I do the half doors and stuff I can touch it up


I have scene the UK ones they are pretty nice but are definitely thinner lexan then the Bruiser builder ones. Problem is that Forrest was having Matt at scale hobbies make those for him and Matt has relocated and is just starting to get back into RC (been emailing with him recently). I am not sure if he will be offering the same services, I know he shut down his site.
