[olskillywilly]

hey buddy i was wundering if you have any tips on stripping the 10 layers of paint off this ol bruiser body i bought ? i noticed from your videos that you are pretty savy at building these little suckers thought you might pass on a tip or 2 be for i kill my bruiser body useing the wrong stuff to strip off the paint... thanks again for your time and could you please make more videos lol... have a good 1 buddy

I've used DOT3 brake fluid to get paint off hardbodies. Fill a few inches of a bin with the brake fluid, drop the hardbody in there and cover with rags or paper towels drenched in same fluid. Let sit for a half hour or longer (keep checking it). Paint should slide right off most of it and require a little elbow grease on stuff in crevices and such. An old toothbrush helps in those cases.

how much for the jeep?

[pantablo]

the white jeep body is retired. now its a ford f150.

the f150 ready to run scaler is for sale (price negotiable-make offer-see video) and the body is also available but is in terrible shape and is only good for the steel tube cage.

im so in love with the hilux in the vid, and where did you get that wrinch, tyres???

[pantablo]

winch is a juggster winch. you'll have to google it to find it as I can't recall where he got it. Tires on the hilux are RC4WD "Rock Crusher" tires.

[flex3200]

[pantablo]

thanks! That hilux is actually an original Bruiser (very similar to a hilux, which is the re-release of the bruiser). more videos coming soon...

where do you guys get the bodys for the the trucks?

[pantablo]

toy grade radio control trucks. we've found these at Walmart, toysRus, KB Toys, Target, you name it...The Range Rover I have I got at walmart for $30. Its a street, lowered rover with dubs, lol...There are loads of FJ Cruisers, 4dr jeeps, etc. The chevy bodies are old Clod monster truck bodies.

[84runner]

Hey, Sounds like you mean you bought some cheapo RC cars 1:10 because of the bodies right? Just wondering what "toy grade" refers to. Just bought my first crawler mag, trying to get into this... Great trucks!

[pantablo]

Correct. Some of those bodies are from cheap rc trucks you buy at department stores. We toss everything else and just use the bodies. 1:10 scale is a common scale and some hobby grade trucks are also 1:10 coincidentally. Some of those are Tamiya hobby grade bodies though (the toyota, brat are two).

I can't wait til next time.  I still like the subaru. It did well out there with the big boys.

[pantablo]

You need to slow that puppy down! LOL. Nice rig. We'll do another scaler run shortly.

Good to see you. Glad you made it. Next time bring your land rover too! We'll do another scale gtg soon. Hopefully at San Pedro this time.
