I've wanted one of these since I was a kid in school but the exuberant price ment I couldn't afford one. Anyway these came out and I've been spending a bit of time on it.

I also always wanted one of those. Hmmm... maybe now is the time. I have a little left over that the wife hasn.... what the fiddlestick was that? I heard a swoosh sound and now my wallet is lighter. I better look. Can those fiddlesticking things smell left over money? Not only do they bleed for a week and doesn't die. Now this?!... Well, when I get some new ones scraped together I want one of those.

Where did you get the white wheels? Are they RC4WD? I've thought about using the oven cleaner on my chrome wheels. I really want white ones.

The wheels were from Fleebay and they afe plastic. I think they were about $15 with tyres.

Is this a Bruiser or is it a clone?

I just came across the Bruiser re release and just like every other kid at the time I've also wanted one. I was going to buy one for 580.00 until the shipping added another 180.00. I seen the clones for around 200.00. I'm torn between buying a re release or one of these.

Unfortunately the OP @voo2doo passed away last year after a battle with cancer?
