I own a few different crawlers and my TLT gets driven more then all the others combined. They look alot more scale then most rigs and the performance is amazing.

The TLT kit is 1/18th scale, but we stretch them out to 1/10th scale. They usually run a wheelbase of around 12", that wheelbase usually looks scale to the Maxx sized bodies.
