You guys should check out the CRX released by ABC a little while ago. Their bodies quality rivals Tamiyas but the car itself is no doubt a lot better

The ABC car is better quality than the Tamiya? I've owned a couple Tamiya minis, but I've never seen an ABC car in person. I've always been curious. I've wanted to get one of their Lancia Stratos bodies for a while, but the proportions are a bit off.

There're actually 2 ABC cars with this body set: a 4WD and a FWD. The 4WD definitely looks hardcore racing oriented. The FWD looks more like a competitor for the Tamiya m-chasiss or HPI FF cup racer. Still cool though... I wonder where I could find one in europe

I was hoping for a Monster Beetle but a Bruiser is even better!

I'm not gonna hold my breath for a "real" Bruiser. A decal set and body modification for the High Lift maybe.

Even if it is a legit Bruiser, I think RC4wd might have them beat now anyway. Check this out:

Give the people what they want or someone will make their own and kill your market.









If it is a re-re of the original Bruiser I'm sure it will still sell very well with all the Tamiya heads and those who never got a chance to own one out there. And I'm sure it will be $1,000,000 too.
