yeah but i have a line that will kill a tlt becuase you need a exact tire placement or you fall into a 9 foot deep creek.

oh well hear is my basic start-
tires cut


chassis hooked up and started on-


the board and battery on board-


and yes that is painters tape i am using i forgot to get electrical tape at the store.

ClodCrawlin:
And yes I hope u TLT and take my Nylint, but I would still love to see it, and I bet anything it wouldnt whoop it

trickedoutnylint06:
100$ sorry, I paid 49$
and I have played with stock Nylints, they can go places, but they have major clearence issues

My future Clod will whoop all urs

I don't get whats so hard about this challenge. the price cap should be about half that or less. for $300 you should build something hobby level. both you are acting like the price cap is like only $20 for mods. both rigs look kinda crappy.
Just do wrecker's buildup plus a good servo and shave where the old steering unit used to be. you'd be under $300 and you'd have an unstoppable nylint.

you dont have to get the point of this..why do ricers take a 90hp civic and throw $10k into it and make it a race car..because they want to right?

keep up the good work guys!
