I have yet to see a pic of the re-re. I'm curious how close they made it to the original.

Wow! I wonder what that will do to the (astronomical) prices of Bruisers on Ebay....

I'm very tempted. The Bruiser was the bees' knees when I was into RC as a kid.

yep.. i can see them giving that a sleeper cab lifting the body puting 2.2 rims and tires then calling it the new bruiser..id like to see a single speed bruiser. maybe axial will make a leafspring hard body truck..i really like the rc4wd truck but i dont know about them and if you can get replacement parts in the future..

It's a Bruiser body on a Blackfoot Xtreme chassis.

Bruised wallet afterwards

That price is crazy. But, if you do buy one, you don't have to have a stick radio for it. If you have a radio with a channel with a 3 position switch you can shift gears from there.

[MelvinsArmy]

That's msrp, the actual price won't be near that much. It'll still be expensive, but not that expensive.

[Jedi Master]

I'll wait for the Blazer, you know it's on the way! Awesome!

Well it looks like RPP has it listed at 749.99

Tamiya is unbelievable, I feel for those who have spent big money on nib bruiser, I gave the news to one of my buddy's who is constantly buying bruiser on the bay and he's pissed, he want to sue tamiya

I bought one in 1993 at a swap meet for $200, the front joints were shot wasn't to happy with it when ahead and sold it to a buddy for what I paid..

Looks like I will be crow baring the wallet, whens the due date??
