The vid looks interesting, too bad you can't get it with the Peterson's Avalanche body on it

Tracks are avalible seperately for $8.29 a piece + shipping

PN:
12422051 Left track Assembly x 2
11422044 Right track Assembly x 2


They are NOT direct bolt ups to anything other than Tamiyal TL01 based vehicles. I'm sure adapters to clod/txt/XF could be possble. Probably TXT or clod is the most realistic though. I'll Go down to RS and checkout the rear ends of the track assembly.

Part numbers have to be used AT a radioshack store...Online doesnt carry them. Its not the rims that you need...its the TLO1 hubs...different story. they DO NOT bolt up to a clod/txt as far as i know.

Got them from my buddy who works at the shack. go in and ask them to look up those part numbers. you'll need 2 of each type (L & R) to make a complete set for your truck.

then i was working on my txt, i bolted up my tl01 drifting slicks to my txt and had a little fun. the hubs are the same size, the only differance is when you do so you have to use a bunch of washers on the shaft because the txt shafts are longer... it looked really funny, ever drift a crawler before? its entertaining yet sad at the same time....


do these bolt to the knuckle to keep them from spinning over?

i doubt those tracks would do any good on the rocks. i know my dozers don't do very well on rocks. they bounce around and slide all over more than anything :D

Bet they would ROCK in the snow though. :twisted:

I thought about buying one the last time I was at RS but I got enough projects right now. I'll just buy the kit. :lol:

I used to work at Rat Shack. You can order those parts in the store or by calling 1-800-241-8742. Give them the part number and they will ship them. Shipping is extra.

TL01 touring chassis? Most touring cars use a 12mm hex. My Tamiya Hummer (TL01?) and Traxxas 4Tec both use 12mm hex.

Same size as a Clod or TXT. So why the adaptor? :?

Ok one thing What stops the tracks from fliping? You know the belt clogs stops and rotates the whole belt assembly.
