Default 35%!!!!!

The bruiser sucks as a crawler. I would never waste my time building a crawler out of a bruiser.

Here are a couple vids I made of my POS crawler, I have since parted it out a threw most of it away.

There a few of us who have done or are doing it. Mine is in the process


Toyota "Trekker" Bruiser

check it out, I have a list of mods that I have done to make it more capable.

Your only going to be able to get so much flex out of them if you keep the leaf springs....So your not going to crawl through and on things that a 4 linked clod will, especially if you want to keep it scale looking.

Trail rig, all the way. Keep the leafs, keep the scale look. If you want a more capable "crawler", build up a TLT.
