Default TLT Basher - Bashing around in the Backyard

Well while working on the backyard I decided to get the TLT out and do some backyard bashing. The night before a storm came through and everything got soaked so it was a muddy good time....LOL I have a bunch rocks laying around so I decided to put them to good use, although the wet sand was killing traction.











































and now quick shot of the chassis, it's made from 1/8" lexan and retains the basic TLT design, this truck was not built for crawling, not really any rocks around here, she was built for the deep mud. The cantilevers have 3 adjustment spots for adjusting ride height. The truck works well, and crawls over objects pretty well, but she is better suited on the trails and the mud. I'm using a pede and a 550 motor.




Well thanks for looking..........

Thanks, I have a few pics already online, unfortuantly after they were taken we hit a dry spell for awhile. We did get some good storms so I'm hoping to get to some fresh mud.

Thanks mike the mag is a labor of love....LOL, actually it was started as a group project and was soon dumped in my lap.....


crawler - Which pics are you refering to? I posted pics in another thread about mudding but I believe they were just linked images, if you are refering to the first pics in this thread it's a stack of rock in my backyard, I'm currently building a track for 1/24th to 1/18th offroad and on a hill in the back there will be a small area of rock for the TLT to play on. Anyways I always take a ton of pics so I'm sure I can provide more....LOL


Yea CustomCrawler I keep telling myself to remove them but now that everyone runs without them it's kinda fun being different.... :-P of course I'd probably feel different if this was a dedicated crawler.


Thanks for the great comments everyone.
