Bruiser Tyres

[macmeniac]

1. Which tyre size fit on the original bruiser wheel? I could buy tyres with the following measures:

Inner diameter: 56mm (2.2")

Outer diameter: 122mm (4.8")

Width: 64mm (2.51")

Do they fit?

2. Whats the metal of the axles and gear case?

3. Do you know any good internet shop to buy parts for this kit?

There are plenty of 2.2 sized tyres out there (the dia of the rim), in fact I'm selling a set off the new CR01 (Land Cruiser). It all depends on what tyres have the look that you're after.

I bought a set of proline mashers for mine:

They are a perfect fit. The thing you have to be careful of is the thickness of bead in the inner edge of the tyre. Some tyres are too thick for bruiser wheels to close up over them.

The axles are just pot metal, like a die cast model car. They are not as strong as they look, and can bend if they are abused - so don't try any enthusiastic jumps! I believe the gearbox is made from the same stuff.

RC4wd make hop up bruiser parts. Spares can also be had from bruiserbuilder.com

ebay and tamiya clubs trade sections are good places to look for spares.

hope this helps!

I just bought and added the Proline 2.2 Flat Iron tires to my mountaineer:

those flat irons look like they don't have a higher profile than the stock tyres, yet the specs say the flat irons are 140mm, and I believe stock bruiser tires are 127mm? I have Austar 3021 fitted and the profile is way too high for my liking, would prefer these, but prolines website and your photo contradict each other in height, atleast in eyeballing anyway.
