|  AHHHHHH I HAVE TOO MANY OPTIONS!!!!
I have been liking this whole crawler scene since I first saw a CZ3 at my local track . Shortly after that, the txt-1 was release and that seems equally awesome. Now with the tlt-1s, x-factor hybrids, mod txts and clods I am really having a tough time deciding. I'd like to use what i have now : MX-3, w/ hitec 645mg (133 oz in) and Tekin rebel ESC. I'd like to keep my inital purchase around 300 dollars. I really like the scale trials trucks they have in Germany which makes me lean more towards the TLT, but i am worried that it's small size may hinder it's capability. What do you have to say? NO IFS PLEASE (THAT MEANS NO MAXXES)   |

| Re: AHHHHHH I HAVE TOO MANY OPTIONS!!!!
well I think it may be decided, clearly the TLT-1 is what I want, and here is why: It can be made exactly as I want it to be, with all the wheels, tires, bodies, shocks etc without going over 300 dollars. to build a clod, starting with axles, would cost me much more, because of needing a new esc and two motors which at it's cheapest would put me way over budget. :( But as Crayon Boy said, I like scale... |

I win lol, and call me Kid.... I don't have my tlt yet, but according to toyofast they are lots of fun. It's also a shaftie which is a plus i guess you could say. Make sure that you take pics and stuff during the build up. I like to watch that kind of stuff :P |

The TLT's that crawl in the ORCRC gang can kick some serious butt all over the TXT's, X-Factor, Twin Forces Maxx hybrids, etc... TLT's can handle Maxx size tires with ease too  Quote:

Does that Maxx in the pic still have IFS/IRS or is it more like a straight axle?

Toyo I think you misunderstood, Maxxes have potential but it seems odd to take a 300dollar ifs truck and put all the time into it when i can get a 300 dollar SA truck

TLT hexes = Clod hexes Pretty much all wheel adapters made for the TXT/Jugg/Clod will work on the TLT. | |
