Default My TTC build
Since we are putting on a TTC this August I figured I should have a truck to compete too.
Specs
C-channel rails
Hi-lift axles
leaf spring rear
Four linked front.
remote mounted motor with double reduction
axial trans case.

And pics for kicks

I know! The tires still need to be sanded down.

Ya I'm not totally sold on the tires just yet. I don't think they are going to be real good for the TTC so I may still have to look at something else.
As for the color I think I am going this green that was on my pro-line body.

Which is kinda cool cause it turns brown at night. Or maybe Yellow??

Ya those truescale beadlocks are too narrow for the big tires though. And with the courses in our TTC there is no way a a little tire is going to work.
As I've said though I really thing I'm going to need to find a more aggressive tire with a harder compound anyways. I'm sure I will come up with something to please you guys!

Also I found the new tires to run. Just have to decide if I want to 1.9/1.6 mod them.

Thats the whole reason I built this one. We are having our TTC in August so I figured I better have something for it.
