Default Robby Gordon trophy truck

want to start a Robby Gordon trophy truck based on the Teflon tt. i have tlt axles and i want to eventually use the rc4wd Wyatt racing straight axle but my only worry is if the tlt axle is going to be able to handle the mamba max. is there any thing i can use/do to make that axle handle that power or should i go to the wheelie king? thanks

Which year truck are you looking to replicate? Gordon's last few TT's have been mid engine with IRS.

Once the stainless steel ring and pinion come out I would think you'd be ok.

The wheelie king wont be any more durable than the tlt. Keep your diffs open and you wont have much trouble though.
