Looks good.  I am sure dogman can get you proper decals for it. And if it is not already in the works, at our next gtg I can hook you up with some better steering links. The mo Tucson crawlers the mo betta.

Do you have any body off pictures of it? Nice crawler. The SW3 is a great performer.

I would get some metal yokes or convert to Maxx drivelines, get the MM down lower for a better COG. Maybe a few other things like beefier links, better tires, move the lower links inside the chassis, and a 3 cell lipo!! Keep up the good work!! |

Cool thanks, I was going to get better tires and a 3s but I wanted to make the axles stonger fist, so I don't break them! I see if I can find a better place for the MM and get my links moved thanks for the ideas. |

Really if you use a Traxxas teflon shim on the pinion, get cvd's, and straight axles, IMO TLT's are plenty strong enough.

Shimming the ring and pinion will help them last a lot longer. I have used both of these brand shims in TLT alxes (click on the brand names): Traxxas Ofna Once the ring and pinion are shimmed, the next weakest point is the axle shafts. If you are gentle on it, don't have high traction tires, or high voltage, they will last. On 3S lipo, with Losi Claws, I have snapped stock axles in minutes. |

I was kinda thinking about getting the ax-10 ones but then again I do like running my rig a bit different. And alot of people have pulled ship on them and I know why the dang local hobby shops don't have parts for them. I have been thinking that if the local vendors would cut the shops a break may be we might see them more. Who knows

There is a local shop that has quite a few AX-10 parts. You will get the newsletter soon. I made it a point to let people know what is here locally so that we can combine our buying power and make everybody happy. I have the tlt axles you have been dreaming of as well  |

Waoh slow down. Hobbytown crawlin is FREE. I don't think we are going to have any series comps there.
