As the name suggest, this thing is almost entirely constructed of spare parts and various RTR takeoffs that were just kicking around in my apartment. This all came about when Banggood, in a move of insane over-compensation, sent me a black HGP407 kit absolutely free of charge, I can only guess as a result of a shipping error with my HGP407 RTR over a month back. (just a heads up, LaserShip is awful)

Anyway, I decided to keep the unassembled kit as a truck's worth of spares for my runner, which left me with a molded black Bruiser body and the urge to build again.

So needing to clean up around my apartment anyway, I decided as I was doing so, I would organize my stash and bins full of spares and RTR electronics and suchwhats and see if I had enough parts to build something neat using this body. The short wheelbase deffo limited it to the only 287mm chassis I hand on hand, that being a mostly-complete Gmade Sawback. It was missing things like the steering links, driveshafts, and probably a bunch of other stuff. So I kept digging and here's the breakdown of what this thing is made of from memory:

Gmade Sawback GM52000 kit
HGP407 Bruiser clone body
HGP407 interior with dashboard cut off
RC4WD Mojave II RTR dashboard grafted to HGP407 interior
Tamiya Mountaineer rollbar
RC4WD Mojave II "square eye" grille
RC4WD Mojave II rubber mirrors (on order, one of few parts purchased for this build)
RC4WD Mojave II rear cab wall and window (from my Marlin)
Axial Wildboar driveshafts
Custom-made steering links (allthread, brakeline, Revo rod ends)
Custom anti-wrap bars (using Bomber swaybar links)
3D-printed CMS perch (another new part)
Gmade Komodo CVAs (the final new part)
RC4WD 90mm scale shocks
Replaced stock leafs with some RC4WD TF2 leafs
Axial SCX10III Method 1.9 plastic beadlocks
RC4WD 4.19 Baja Claws I ordered by mistake years ago, brand new
Holmes Hobbies Trailmaster Sport 550 27T
RX and TX from Trailfinder 2 MC edition RTR
AE-5 style "Dynamite" ESC, pretty sure out of my Bomber
25kg Amazon steering servo
Motor pinion bumped up three teeth for wheelspeeeeeeed

Body still needs some details and I'm currently painting the interior. Will have a driver eventually but not picked one out yet.
