Actually, they ARE the wheel nuts. There is a special tool you use to tighten them.

You can find them here...

These would work on a bruiser ?. Not to sure as i have not see it to compare . As they look like the 4wd hub .

They'll work fine . Their just wheel nuts made to look like hubs .

I don't think this is true. These do not work on the front wheels of the Knight hauler.
The part that touches the wheel is milled out to accept a portion of the wheel that is only present on the rear wheels of the tamiya truck wheels.
If you tighten it down on a "normal" wheel, or front wheel, it will not touch the ball bearing, and bind on the actual wheel itself.

So, no. I don't think you can use these on a Bruiser.

There are other wheel nuts at RC4WD that you probably can though. Something like this perhaps...

Like seeing what you do with each build and how you customize each one. Looks good.

Skottoman: What a fantastic build, the flat bed is definatley the cheapest kit but yours looks a thousand times better. Top Build!

I hope you dont mind me showing you a pic or two of my flatbed. One thing that put me off was how the wooded deck was full length strips, would be a struggle to do that on a 1:1 so I chopped mine up into random lengths, mixed them all up and glued them one by one, flipped it over and covered the back with glue to seal it.

Also rubbed a bit of old oil into the bed and browned it in places with a butane torch. Just to make it look used.

Also added reflective tape, may of pushed it a little to much down the sides though.





Certainly not on par with yours, although I may have to pinch your idea and make some lockers for the sides.

Carlito, that looks awesome with the random length wood! NIce job!
