OG=Original Gangster.

It's like, "that shits legit" or "dont fuk with that" or "old school"

I mean, you can use it however you want really.

Jason's lemonade is OG.
BAD1 himself is OG.
That picture with Trey and the stripper with a handful of sausage at the Pantera strip club in texas...that shits OG.

I have 3/16" stainless solid rod.. I think I'm going to attempt to mig weld my MT chassis together instead of brazing it. We'll see how it works. A lot guys mig chassis together but, I always thought it was too small of a job and I would gob it up too much and create more grinding work but, I think If I set it up right, I can pull it off.

Jason, are you willing to part with any of those wheel/tire setups?

[johnnyh66]

Jason, did you find that link mount?

[JHTreyIII]

So I'm kinda thinking through that Bruiser and what I'll need. They recommend a 4 channel radio but I can't figure out why. Maybe it's so you still have an extra channel after you hook the transmission up? You guys that have transmissions that shift...how do you set something like that up? I need to be able to move the servo between 3 positions, and set it to hold in each of those positions. I've never had to do that before. Am I going to need to invest in a better radio for something like that? My 3rd channel on my flysky is just a push button. I can't see how something like that would work. I don't mind getting a fancy radio, just trying to figure out what I need ya know.

Yeah.

Need to shorten the front links slightly to deal with some clearance issues, not huge right now, but when doing the cut-n-shut TSLs, it will. And maybe tweak the angle of the rear driveline slightly. Otherwise, should be good to go!

no clods or any motor on axle rigs allowed at scale comps. clod tires arent legal either.

i think tamiya priced the re-released bruiser so high as to not undercut the vintage collector market. having the new kit be 700 bucks still makes the old bruisers worth something. thats just my speculation though... some of the more serious vintage tamiya guys were kinda upset that tamiya was re-releasing it.

i paid close to 500 bucks for my tamiya f350 highlift, and while its not a comp-ready rig out of the box like an axial is, it was an awesome kit to put together. tamiya kits are very detailed and very well thought out. i would LOVE to put one of the new bruisers together.

[JHTreyIII]

Geez, this bruiser is getting expensive! Hmmm...gotta find more stuff to sell.

No interest in my 22SCT...I guess I should put it on ebay.

john i forgot to look for one of those link mounts. if you remember, send me a txt after work and i'll look.

the clod tires and wheels are heavily used... they are still in good shape but the hex adaptors have been bolted to the wheels and they have paint on them. if you want them i will sell them to ya, or if you just want to use them until you get a better wheel/tire combo i can let ya borrow them.

imark dually wheels and rims im keeping for a potential build (king sling...), and also the jumbo kongs since those go on my big red jeep.

the amark pin spikes are rare as hell but honestly i know you can get much better new compound tires now and actual beadlock wheels.

i think i have more clod tires and wheels in another box in the basement. i'll try to dig deeper and see what i got.

I stripped my Slash pinion last night.
The previous owner installed a metal spur... not sure I like that.

might be the 4th channel is for reverse? i have no idea...

my flysky can shift and hold all 3 gears on my hilift, but its been hacked.

just buy the kit and figure out the radio after the fact...

[Die-Laughing]

Trey, i can post it on rctech if you want. I'll just copy your ad and let you know what happens. That is, if you dont have an account there.

[Die-Laughing]

Thanks jason, I'll let you know whats up. I really like those single tire dually tires. Rc4wd has dually tires that are attached.. I wonder if they can come apart and go onto a different wheel. I want one tire on each corner.

[JHTreyIII]

I do have an account on there but I'm never on it because my work computer won't connect to their site for some reason. If it's not too much trouble that would be awesome. I won't be able to watch it though.

[Die-Laughing]

I'll post it up at lunch and let you know when theres action. No biggie.

[JHTreyIII]

Sweet thanks!

[JHTreyIII]

My new trigger showed up today! Woo hoo, back in business.
