Default Everyone wants to call it a bruiser

Why do you call it a Bruiser when all you have is a frame?

Nothing else is from a Bruiser. TLT axles, pede trans, traxxax shafts....


It's just rediculous. A frame does not make it a Bruiser

i may not have one but i agree with dtp, the bruiser chassis does not = a bruiser, maybe a rule "must have two or more major original peices (i.e. chassis, axles, tranny, body)"

dtp has a very awesome bruiser. he's the one that i am inspired to get one one day (for the right price). he is certainly not the one left out.

you should take that to the bank. with the word "bruiser" linked to it the value triples!

For the same reason JP magazine features a rig with 2 1/2 ton axles, a Chevy motor, Chevy transmission, Atlas T-case, coilover shocks, and calls it a Jeep.

Cuz it has a Jeep part on it (the body in this case), therefore it must be a Jeep.

Not that I have anything against Garth's rig, it's bad azz, but I don't see what Jeep part contributes to it's performance.

Duh, don't you know the emblem makes all the difference. Like when you own a beat *** Honda and you put the "R" badge on it... Thats like a 40hp boost, and shaves at least 3 seconds off your 1/4 mile time.


But seriously, that Jeep is damn sweet.

well what dictates what the rig is classed as, the chassis or axles? if i had a bruiser based rig its easier to call it a bruiser than a bruiser frame'd, tlt axle'd, R2 trans'd, traxxas radio'd and shaft'd scale rig.

i agree though, just because you use a bruiser frame dosnt make it a bruiser.

I concur

Like I said to each their own right? I think a chino clone is still pretty Bruiser like. Uses the frame, body, leafs and all, just a different axle and trans

I have one original Bruiser screw in each of my rigs, therefore I can say I have as many Bruisers as 1BJB. Freeking Bruiser pimp

hmm, so i guess that makes my left over bruiser nuts and bolts worth a pretty penny. anyone interested in converting your rig to a bruiser?
