[TwistedXT]

Call me crazy, but this might be fun to turn into a crawler....

I'm going to go check it out tonight to see if its worth anything.... has anyone else seen this?

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

[Lunatic]

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.

I was just thinking, after seeing one at radio shack, that the mattracks might bolt up to t TLT axle.. Hmmmm...

[crawlmaxx]

I wonder if you could adapt them to a Maxx

[Krod_Clod]

They are already being adapted to maxxes

RAMtechRC is working on it.

[TwistedXT]

tl01 rims bolt right on to the txt.... eh eh eh... yeah... r u thinkin what im thinkin?


im going to run down to rs myself and see what i can do.... where did you get the part #'s?

radioshack.com doesnt register them.

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?

[TwistedCreations]

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

[Grizzly4x4]

Bet they would ROCK in the snow though.

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.

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.

[Bigbadwhitey]

Ya they would Work Great in the Snow!Would Need some good Tire spin.

[fuzzhead]

had this idea a while back. interesting to hear that other peeps are doing the same thing. so do u think it will look good on tlt-1?

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? :?

[Superboy]

can they work on a tlt 1 or not that would be cool
to do to atlt 1 so do you think they will.

Anybody know what scale the body is?

[AdamF]

The website says 1:10

[Mnster]

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