What a deal!
RAE56

Yes I wish every deal was like this....however, I have only had a few. This is a very cool vehicle and the gun is in perfect shape as well!

Thanks...I love driving the truck. It is hard looking at the shelf queens, so I had to build one like this.

Thanks, the wife does not think it is so amazing...it use to be filled with books! I keep reminding her that this hobby replaced the $150,000 real race car that use to be in the garage! However, I better stop soon or I will pass that up with RC cars! LOL!

Many thanks to everyone for the nice comments! I joined Tamiya Club yesterday and I guess I was so excited to finially participate in sharing what I have with all of you that I spent hours creating the showroom. I have enjoyed collecting RC cars for the past few years as I stated on my personal page, but it has been the Tamiya Club visits and interaction with the members that is the most enjoyable time I have spent in this hobby over the span of 25 years. I had to join! I am also impressed with the passion I see here at this club with the member participation. There are a lot of other areas of the RC hobby that I have been involved in that could learn a lot from you guys! A Class act!

Henk4Focus - the trains were my Father's. I guess I was exposed to hobby activities at a young age. Not sure what brand the trains are...I will have to take one out of the case and look at it. No Slack - Slot cars are Aurora, AFX, and Tyco. The cars on the bottom shelf in the case are the old Hot Wheels Sizzlers! And yes, lots of Drag and Oval Cars as that is a large part of the company I have owned for many years, and these are samples and prototypes of the chassis and body designs I created.

Skottoman - 99% of the cars are sitting on clear plastic boxes or 2x4, 1x4 wood strips with foam rubber on top that meets the chassis of the car. Only the 2 Monster trucks in the office picture, and the 3 runners in the last picture are on the tires, but I take them down often.

mongoose1983 - yes, I will take more pictures of the drag cars in the cases.

This bruiser is fun!
RAE56

Thanks for the nice comments!Yes....color...what color? That has been the question for a year now and I cannot make a decision! These aluminum beadlock rims are actually 5mm narrower then the stock Bruiser rims. The front rims are offset more so that the track width is the same front and rear versus the stock Bruiser where the rear is wider then the front. I think the shorter tires give the allusion of being wider.
