Default Whats different?

So can anyone spot whats different on my TLT??? I only changed one thing really (besides the fact that I don't have body posts or running gear).

No one has gotten it yet. Though a few are on the right track.

Thats tuff. Other than the stuff they listed above, all I see are new wheels.

And I'm pretty sure I'm not correct.

It looks like there is a second hole above the shocks (unless thats where the body posts went), and it looks like the upper links where switched with the lowers, and the lower links appear to be on top of the axle. Did i get it? Do i win a cookie?

I'm not gonna rest till I say every NEW thing on that truck...

Let me start here.
Chrome HPI wheels, Masher 2ks, NO motor, new shock springs(Or re-painted), Raised Chassis Clearance, (New Drivelines maybe??? Can't tell, can't see the U-Joint), you mounted your shocks for a better stretch, removed the middle chassis Brace...

OH!!!! You did some stuff to allow for more articulation, mostly...

I wonder how close I am, do I win something?

Actually Mr. Wonderful is spot on. Here's the setup. I need to brace the link mounts better, and the rear is toed way in. I plan to see if it helps with traction. If not, I'll bring it back to 0*. Way more clearance under the links, a little under the chassis. Articulation is the same, though vertical travel is reduced because of the links hitting the chassis. This will be resolved with my next chassis.

1. New set of link mounting holes drilled inboard of the stock TSC-10 holes

2. Links mounted higher on the axle?

No unfortunately I do not sell them anymore. I've wanted to get back into production, but I do not have a cheap enough machine shop to warrant it. Besides, I believe the chassis is outdated with its vertical pede tranny layout.

Nope, TSC-10 always had the two holes.

Nice rig P_W_T.

I really like tour link mounts, hope you don't mind if I use it too.
I've been following your progress here & on 1/18.com Good work, wouldn't expect less from you.
