BIG RED
This build will get rid of the slowness of the Bruiser, and the baby's toy of the Clodbuster....it will have big power!

Re: Clod Bruiser
Big power and questionable suspension, this is going to be a sight to see and seriously wild ride when it is done! It's probably going to need an exocage to keep that body intact! lol
And my poor bootleg bruiser will likely never see dirt while I own it...

Re: Clod Bruiser
Let the fun begin 

If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.

Re: BIG RED
This is where I am at, the "diamond one" can't paint or customize the body till winter, but has some really trick stuff to do to it, changing the look of the bumpers, roll bar etc, plus filling the cheesy blower area, I am still working on it mechanically, gir a new clutch and tranny going in, plus another mod I can't disclose yet

Re: BIG RED
That looks awesome , are you keeping the stock remote long linkage servo steering or going for an up front servo ?

Re: BIG RED
I've always loved the look of a subtle cowl induction hood (meaning 1.5" or 2") on C/K square bodies.
