Its definately got at least a 2 speed, i can see the cluthbell when i zoom in, and a .21. Pretty classic really, dude deserves some votes. I dont think nitro is very popular here. I dig em tho. Assault, Nitro Brute, Nitro Billard, Stinger all true nitro classics. I like electric too, just sayin

20190128_152343.jpg Hi, I aquired a Nitro Brute this weekend, it pretty rough, gonna do a complete box art restoration (except going with oil filled shocks). I will update the thread as i progress. As u know, parts for this are scare so if anyone has anything i need i would be interested in them fo...

The engine is an OS cz, not sure if its a .10 or .12 because it looks smaller than my .12cz in my Rampage truck....anyway, the engine and carb were frozen, i soaked it all in nitro fuel then disassembled it soaking and cleaning each part. Its all free now, really smooth. The piston will almost push ...

I found out what it is. Its a 1986 OS Max CZ -2. I assume .12....also, i hate that my pics are sideways and they were up when i downloaded them, Benji, "thumbs", what am i doing wrong?

Thanks! Your link to those part #s scored me a cz-2 piston and sleeve new for $35! I did already package the original up and paid $8 shipping to RayAracing, but he wont charge me the $24 to repinch if he doesnt get the p/s. So i lost $8, no biggie. I also scored a nib .12 cz-r for $75 shipped just i...

I got a parts truck with the purchase, luckily it came with this super rare Thorp axle kit to replace those cheesy plastic stock driveshafts. They were rusty but i got cleaned up pretty good. I rotated this pic 45degrees right, hopefully it straight

Gears in great shape, full bearings in tranny

I personally like plan A, but B could be cool. I dont think u will be shamed

The tranny wasnt smooth when i got it, and it wasnt smooth when reassembled it. The pinion gear was pushing to hard on the ring gear, so i shimmed it with those little silver shims a few thousands. Also the bevel gears that press onto the axle shafts are pressing to hard on the differential gears......

Tranny all cleaned up, rotates smooth and free.
Thumbs suggestion about texting yourself the pic 1st then choose that pic fixed the upside down pics

I really like the rear suspension compared to other trucks of this era. Those rod ends keep the rear knuckle from turning. If u take the rear one off u can adjust toe in or out, not that i am gonna that.

Still have to do the rollbar, side guards, grill and lights

That revised pic of Yernat Al's car with that checkpoint peekn out could spell doom for the rest of the field
