*tlt Discontinued*

[tmaxxking1]

i sent tamiya an email last night asking what they were thinking

and if there was going to be a different version


tamiya usa told me it wasnt up to them to discontinue them


i wonder if we all called and asked them to remake the bruiser if they would listen

and keep the tlt going

[Thorsteenster]

they might come out with another tlt axle based truck, wouldnt surprise me. might not though, semi axles evolved into tlt axles, tlt axles evolved into high lift axles. i bought 2, anything more and i'll just build axles from aftermarket components which i'll end up doing anyway.

i ordered 2 the other day just to be safe, but hopefully they do something and it comes back better

I just got this back in an E-Mail. All I asked was why they are being Disco'ed. Not sure what this E-Mail means. But looks almost like they are in the process of making a Rock Crawler kit... I might just be looking into to much.

if it does it wont be as cheap as the rock buster, thats for sure. any reincarnation of the tlt is probably gonna make just buying axle parts way more cost effective.

I beat ya money that the TLT isn't going away. There are to many other kits using the same parts as the TLT uses. So there really isn't a cost to make issue. I beat it comes out as a 1/10th Crawler kit. They know we are the main group who buy them. And there are way to many aftermarket parts for them to just stop making them.

I had a creepy feeling they were discontinuing them...ordered 4 last week.
I ordered 4 more today just to be safe.
I hate to see them discontinued.

geez, whats the big fawkin deal, you'll be able to build bullit broof tlt axles soon. you pay 70 bucks for a kit, you use the axles and set the rest aside. maybe you get a rc4wd spool or the rcp spool due out soon, maybe along with a set of rc4wd tlt axles or cvds. you get some c-hubs and some alu knucks. after all that you have some cut up and cut down $70 axle housings.

[octigonwallrus]

the big deal is you use alot of parts from the kit, at least i do. plus yeah you could buy all that stuff, but you would be way over the 80 to 100 marker youd be at if you just bought the kit. not everyone has the money to buy all the spools and aluminun casings and axles and knuckles.
thats the big deal

[xxizzer421xx]

wow are you trying to tell me i gotta spend 140 on this??? now

[Thorsteenster]

you end up doing it anyway though as you repair/upgrade, why not do it off the bat? i like all the extra stuff you get with the whole kit too and have always been a frim believer in buying a whole kit vs just axle pieces. but after 4 tlt's i just dont want or need any other extra parts!

You keep saying stuff like that, mind filling the rest of us in on your "insight" into the TLT situation? Or is this just you trying to sell your after market part.


Not trying to be a dick, but if you have any info that the rest of us might find interesting or relevant, please share.

What's the title of this thread? Have you read any of the posts? The TLT is discontinued.

Our parts sell themselves.;)

I know what the title says, its just that you keep dropping comments like "I'll take that bet" and so on. Like I said, not being a dick here, but if you have any extra info, please share.
