Default A nice pair of tlts

POPO built: mine is the Jeep and the Superduty I built for a freind of mine. They both have:
Lathes
Pede trannies
SS yokes
Carbon Arrow links
WB is 12.5 for each
SD has Integy shocks
JP has Tamiya touring shocks
645s

I have only been doing this for a couple of months so Flame away.




P.S. I know the esc's suck, but hey they work...

Looking good. How do the carbon arrow links work? I know carbons only last me a couple months for archery before the spline becomes too weak/ I manage to break them.

Nice work man! The esc's are fine, you dont need anything more than what you have unless you are running 4WS I actually took the SR out of my TLT and put in a XRS and I cant tell a difference at all. Just more room lol.

Hmm, might have to try that sometime. Strangely enough I shoot Gold Tips pro hunters 5575's, only difference is tighter tolerances. Let me know how they are doing in a few months. Regular shooters only use carbon arrows for about 6 months, since the spline tends to weaken with time and use. I know that there are different forces on them using them as links, but I would be curious as to how long they last.

Looking real good. The one of the left looks like it has some serious fab work on the chassis. Anyway do drop the ford body and chop the fenders like mad? Chopped pickups looks awesome on the scalers.

The TVPs on the one on the left are used by quite a few people here in UT, on both the 2.2s and on the Clod/Super crawlers. Someone used to make them for us, there are quite a few floating around here.

The left one seems lower than the right. I hear that is normal though.
