Found a Vintage Tamiya Bruiser in great shape for $400!

[RippingLegos]

Along with an a-stamp rc10 complete and a vintage Tamiya Willies Jeep, $400 for each one (bunch of new vintage parts in bags too for all three), shipping out this week hopefully (dude found them at a yard sale).

Ha Well I got lucky Mike! The Willys and Bruiser are not built completely (there's two bags of new parts for them both to complete them) and show little to no use:

Thanks Mike, I'm really excited too as I remember drooling over the Bruiser back as a kid and there was no way I could afford it!

Awesome find, I scored one a couple years ago for 250. Not nearly as nice as yours but I cleaned it up and got it running. Just needs paint. Transmissions are tricky but one yiu get them lube up good the work nice. Fun little trucks for sure.

Oh that's a great price on one too, I'll have to check your profile for pictures! I am waiting on a battery adapter and I'll have this one up and running on its original 4 channel futaba!

Here is the Bruiser after I did some cleaning on it and added a hilux grill (I have the NOS grill and other parts new in the bags so didn't want to open them). This was with the Willy's too from the same haul but I sold the Willy's.

I will post a Pic on this thread later on today, I have replaced the mechanical speed control with an esc. I had an old futaba kicking around and it wanted to try it. It works awesome. I also am using my dx5c to control it. I have the 3rd channel programmed to toggle from high to low range.
