| My Scale project!
Hey guys,I got a Tlt of ebay and i took it all down to the axles, and got ride of the stock tranny and frame rails!This is the frame i will be using for a while, then i will be make a scale frame with coil over suspention, But this is what i got done so far on my project This is what it started out to be- Then finailly got some parts to put on the chassis- Then i got my Body,rims,and links. and this is what it looked like- Then i finally painted the body, and tured out pretty damn good- Then that weekend, i went to a local pond down the street from me, And gave it test of what it can handle, Suprisingly it held up threw the day of beating!- |

There looks to be a lot of sago pondweed and lemna (duckweed) in your pond. Call me if you want to treat it. Nice crawler too. |

If you want to pimp your pond healthcare business you are going to need to purchase a vendor star, thank you for understanding. |

Looks pretty good but I suggest going with stock e/tmaxx shocks over the stockers unless you want them because of the scale appearance. -Will

Hey guys, i got my frame in the other day, i started mocking up some of the coil over mounts and same as the 4 link suspention, also made the tranny mount flush with bottom of the frame rails. I tried to put the sterring servo on the frame but i got WAY to much bumpsteer, so i put the servo back on the axle.my gears have arived yet so i cant put the axles to geather yet, as soon as i get them i will put them togeather, and put them on the truck and test it to make sure everything works alright. Then i am going to take it apart and paint the frame black. But here are some pics of the build up so far. tell me what you think of my truck!! thanks,zack Got the body mounted where i wanted it! cut off the fender flarers |
