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.

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

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.

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

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??
