Obsolete???

[Plays_with_Toys]

I remember back in the day when if your truck could stuff a coke can under one tire you had impressive flex, but almost all of my trucks can do this... I believe this test of suspension is now obsolete.... Case in point:





EDIT: and yes, my TLT has a hanging driveshaft, still waiting on a belt.

I agree, now it seems that unless you got over 100 degrees of artic. your truck isnt a true crawler.

its just that so many people build there trucks like ramp queens. id say that 75* to 80* is all id want when i build my crawlers.

flex is sooooooo last year! now it's all about CG and ground clearence

i built my juggy to be a ramp queen


but now its comming along as a really sweet partially scale tuber

i think 2 pop cans is a good test for a txt clod sized tuber

I agree, flex is pretty easy to attain now. Especially with all the info floating around here. I got almost 90degrees on my very first try! The challenge is building a crawler with a low c-o-g with good clearance and balance as well.....


If you're not happy with your tlt I'd be happy to take it off your hands! Crappy flex and all!
