allright you guys, tell me what you think. i put on my adapters and i am debating if its still scale enough for me. they still tuck a little, not as much as with the tlts. it is possible for me to make it even narrower but that would include me machining new stub shafts, and adapters.

as for the adapters i am thinking of adding a bearing but then it would be like RC4WD looking. not what i am after.

i am thinking if these are too wide and arent capable enough, i will switch back to tlts, they dont allow for as much flex as the bruiser setup but theyre good. also theyre so damned big. its really 75/25 in favor of the bruisers but theres so much to deal with on these. the tlts are so much easier.

heres some pics for yall:

I think it looks a bit to wide. But what an awesome looking truck

1BadJeepBruiser · 06-06-2007, 07:55 PM

I think you have a cool idea going with your axle adaptors, but I think you need to back to the TLT axles on this thing... the Bruiser axles are way to wide IMO. The truck looks so much scaler with the TLTs.

Just my 2 cents

Agreed.

cammok5 · 06-06-2007, 08:33 PM

stay with the tlt's.

Eviltwin_52s · 06-06-2007, 08:34 PM

Matt it is a great idea and looks really good on the truck, but is a little wide. I am sure you know that already as well.

I really like the bruiser axles, just wish someone would cut them down and could weld the potmetal back. I would cut mine up and use them on another scale build if someone could make that happen.

I have to agree with Mike and the rest. Stay with the TLT's it makes the truck look much better.

obijuan · 06-06-2007, 08:42 PM

damnit... i was afraid of that! anybody want to buy these? lol i have a new set of tlts i can throw on. maybe ill save these for a 2.2 project. or build a bruiser with them?
POLL!!:

what should i do with the extra axles? i have two fronts and one rear and two sets of rear hubs and one set of origional tires and wheels. im almost to a bruiser!!

Eviltwin_52s · 06-06-2007, 08:53 PM

I say a 2.2 project using the new Proline K5 blazer. I would use both fronts and lock one of the fronts for the rear. Either that or narrow up your rear axle.

cammok5 · 06-06-2007, 08:58 PM

a 2.2 blazer would be cool getting towed behind this

hiliftcrawler · 06-06-2007, 09:47 PM

dude if i were you id narrow both the front and rear and stay with the bruiser axles might take some time but it would be worth it for the look

zrider · 06-07-2007, 12:01 AM

dont do nothing to it, its rad, okay maybe a ken doll with a cowboy hate would top it off with the horns!!!

sloppy · 06-07-2007, 09:50 AM

yeah go back to tlt that rig was hot with them on there those are just to wide
it would look ok on a jeep or toyo body where full width axles stick out any way i like the idea of the k5 blazer being towed behind it

obijuan · 06-07-2007, 11:51 AM

ok ok, i know yall said tlts, but i had an idea. now i am within 3/8in of tlt width. what do you think?
i may be able to get it narrower but that would require work to the knuckle.

Why Be Low · 06-07-2007, 02:23 PM

a body on top view would help

TerribleOne · 06-07-2007, 02:27 PM

Get some hilux hubs and wheels. It will be even narrower than the tlt axle.

obijuan · 06-07-2007, 02:29 PM

got some?
