Have you tried it? I have only tasted red loctite and yes it tastes very good. It is very sweet like candy.

When I was in Colorado, I was working on my rig at Jason's house and was trying to loctitie something and the tip was plugged so I kept sqeezing harder until the bottle blew up in my face and the surrounding area.

I have been addictied to it since, so don't knock it till you tired it.

BTW, what does brake cleaner taste like? Is it good?

Actually yeah, I worked on it yesterday and swaped out the front shocks and added a doulbe shackle to the front to get more articulation. Seems to work well.

I'll post up some pics tonight.

cool cant wait for pics, i love the bruiser axles, eventualy ill get my hands some some, my freind a while back had designed some of his own but cost to much to start making them, would be pretty cool if someone could start making some axles similar and sell them, but then it would probably cost an arm and a leg

That's if you like it, you might want to give it back.

I have been a little bored with this rig lately because the more I do to it the heavier it gets, and I have to compensate with heavier springs which make it flex like crap.

So after I got it make from the body/tube shop (Rckjeeps house) I wanted to try and get some of the articulation back. One of the biggest things holding me back in articulation was the TLT shocks. I swaped out the TLT shocks for some Associated shocks, I put my T4 rear shocks in the front and the T4 fronts in the rear of the Toyota. I also added a double shackle to the front.

I also mounted some HPI Yokohama Geolandar tires. I think these are much more scale in size then the Proline or Imex swamp dawgs. Tell me your honest opinion on the tires and how they look.

The Geolanders are the most scale tires IMO that are out there. They even perform pretty well too. RBGerrish runs them on almost all his scale rides, and they go everywhere too.

BTW... Your tires are on backwards

Yeah they feel much more tacky then the Imex tires do. I don't understand why I havn't mounted them before. I have had them for months.

Are they, I didn't even notice.

I like them I was thinking about using them on my yota as well it would lower the CG and give me more up travel. I'll see if I can find a set.
