if it is new, DONT put a esc or motor in it (shelf queen) less chance for it to get driven.

Do not put a BL system in a vintage RC.

post some pix of that thing!

I have very fond memories of watching my friends father drive a Bruiser back in 1986. If memory serves me correctly, the Bruiser replaced the Hilux...so I would love to see some pix.

My friends father was an RC and model train junkie with a VERY good salary so we got to play with a lot of his toys...the Bruiser was NOT one of them.

Man, to self it would be a crime!!! I'd take everything apart, relube and inspect, put it back together with a moderate speed package. I'm not saying to run it through mud puddles and bounce it off rocks, but at least run it... :?
