Ok got a few question i am going to go back to leaves at all 4 corners will the revolver type shackles work on bruiser chassis next how strong r the ltl axles as in will they hold up to 1.9 steel wheels with 3s power if i ever even get that far this was mostly bought to see how much i like leaves and to try my fat fingers at scaling

The tlt are decent on strength, 3S power might be to much for them to handle. I think 2S will be a little better.. Leaf springs is a hit or miss. But to run leafs in the rear, you would have to make an adapter for them to mount to the axle.. Most people running a bruiser frame run the setup you have already, cause to gives good flex... The revolver shackles will work on a bruiser frame.. I was going to pick up a set for one of my bruiser's..

That's really good flex, for not having that much weight in it..
