Exclamation Code Name Jefferson *PIC

NOW TAKING ORDERS http://www.utrcrc.com/products.html

Here at UTRCRC Labs, our crack team of scientists have been secretly testing and tweaking a TLT/Pede based 2.2 crawler chassis since March of this year. Some of you have seen it, most haven't. We are in the final testing phase of this chassis and the most resent LV crawl was the first comp these chassis have been entered in… We think it is a winner. As are all the UTRCRC chassis, it is a competition specific chassis based on the same principles that made the v2 and the vPrime such great chassis.

The UTRCRC Jefferson’s* features include:
• Trendy lay-down transmission for that stable low center of gravity.
• 4” shock compatible so all you cheap SOBs can buy t-maxx shocks on ebay for $12.
• 12.5” wheelbase**, so you cheaters can’t push the limits of the maximum wheelbase rule.
• Aluminum construction for that tasty alumaliciuosness. Mmmm, TASTE IT!
• Servo/link-mount platform for ease of triangulation.
• Second servo/link-mount platform so you can cheat and hook up 4 wheel independent steering.
• Ultra wide track** for incredible side hill stability. 2.2 clods are shivering in their boots.
• Utilizes much of the actual TLT-1 hardware**… Yes it does, REALLY
• Includes a list of all the, easily obtainable from you local hobby shop, goodies you will need to complete your UTRCRC Jefferson* 2.2 competition crawler.** Links and all.

Until now UTRCRC has exclusively produced clod based chassis, so at this point we have not decided whether or not we will manufacture this TLT based chassis. Yes, I’ll post some pics when I get off my lazy can and shoot some.


*Jefferson is a working title of this new chassis. It may or may not become the official title of this chassis, so please refer to the title Jefferson with utmost reverence. For tomorrow it may be gone forever and you will feel guilty that you treated it like you did and cry yourself to sleep every night feeling shame for your disregard and utter rudeness towards the title Jefferson. Eventually it will become too much to handle and you will decide to end it all and do yourself in by driving to Kansas to visit Dirk at 2:30am and scream from his front lawn, at the top of your voice, beckoning Dirk to come out and play rc crawlers with him, therefore inducing his lovely wife to sprint from the house and converge upon you, killing you with a pair of rusty safety scissors, singing the whole time, at the top of her lungs, the theme song from Friends.


** Set-up sheet will be included. For best results you must fallow this recommended set-up.

No, but links should only cost you less than $20 from your LHS.

Can't wait to see how you guys did it. With so many TLT chassis' out I wonder if mine would ever have a place. You guys are definately on the leading edge of crawling technology, so this chassis should be pretty darn sweet.

I have seen this chassis compete, a very capable chassis! *That is all i am going to say*

I would definately buy one.

How soon do you think it will be in production?

BTW I just posted a video of the Las Vegas Crawl this past weekend. The Red and Silver 2.2 and the Zerbra 2.2 are both the Jefferson chassis. So go check them out in action.

As far as price it should hit around $75. this includes main chassis (side plates and skid) and 2 servo/top-link mounts. and all the info and part #s to complete the crawler.

As far as when it will be available... PM or email me if your interested matt@utrcrc.com Until I can get with my local machine shop I can hand build chassis like I do with the vPrime.
