Actually, they don't have a Bruiser combo, even though it's on the cover. The only kits they have are on the two pages I took ictures of. WEAK! The Sprit FF is FWD, but front steer. The Royal Ripper is 4WD, and 4WS. |

WTF!! I work there. We're actually closing up shop and moving down the street. We've been having 20, 30, and now 40% off sales in-store to get the chit moving. Been at this location for 20 years. Some dudes tried breaking in last Friday with garden bricks |

EP think you could find a car called the Gator (or somehing like that) in there. It was my 1st Hobby grade RC and would have been around that time. It was metal and probably heavier than any tuber I've built. It couldn't jump for sh!t as it always nose dived. I called it the Tank cause I could run into my cousins Frog and launch it about 3 feet cause it was so heavy. |

I used to shop there alot when I was a kid. I think I have an old catalog of theirs laying around also. I bought one of those Kyosho Icarus buggys thats in one of the pictures. I loved that car.
