A stock TLT is not a scale crawler. It has a TVP chassis (Twin Vertical Plates), which is illegal in most scale competitions. Also with it's wheelbase, it doesn't fit the body wheel wells enough to be scale. The tires suck for crawling. The axles are about the best parts to use for a scaler. Most of the old school scaler ran TLT axles because that are narrow.

If you are at 15" WB right now, you have to run the Super class and the TLT will not stand a chance. 2.2 class (2.2" wheels) is limited to 12.5" WB.
