What did you mount your shocks onto the chassis? Thanks, Cya.

I used screws from the TLT kit, washers and some fuel tubing for spacers that also allow for some movement.

Yea we were for a while, and we constantly made improvements to be better than the other so that was alot of fun right now he is finishing up his tuber and im waiting on a BULU so we are going different directions but it will still be fun for sure! I can see it being somewhat boring climbing by yourself constantly

Is that one TLT using the stock belt drive system? Do belts tend to break easily? Does it hold up welll to basic crawling and mudding? Im just wondering.. thanks

Yup they are both using the stock TLT drivetrain, never had many problems at all, I was running a lathe motor, 3700's and the swamp dawgs are 4.75" tall, there was alot of strain on the tranny and it held up fine the only time is slipped was on the topshaft when the small set screw came undone, i just used some locktite on it.

Thanks man! I no longer have the stock chassis otherwise I would, im waiting on a couple of bulu's and my bro just built a tuber that I will post up here soon. I didnt spend much on the truck because I had all the electronics already, otherwise it would probably be around 350 maybe? Thanks again
