| Just another TLT build
Well after allways wanting to build a scale rig and seeing how these lil buggers are only 80 bucks i figured what the hell. My plans for this rig tlt axles bruiser frame pede trans lathe motor super cock rubicon body bluebird servo 2ws pede sliders 2.2 moabs or mashers no idea for wheels yet i got basically everything but the sliders, tires/wheels and i need some kind of turnbuckles for the links....not sure what ones to buy few pic'ys so far the trans is just laying there but i should have it all mounted tommarrow and hopfully start on the top link mounts. cant wait to finish this thing |

Thanks for the compliments guys. Clodcrawlin...yeah ive seen a few bruisers 4 linked like that but i dont think i will go that route. Im thinking of just making a lil bracket that bolts close to the original shackle mount...but closer to the center of the frame. rckjeep.... are you making links for yours? or are you planning on useing turnbuckles? |
