I have 4 of those damned TLT bodies.............I knew they would come in handy someday. I guess I'll have to jump on the bandwagon and build one.
Your rig looks great too by the way!

What seems to be going on in here?
Is someone figuring out how to build a truck within the specs of the class rather than complaining that the rules were written for only one vehicle?

Great work B, I love the ingenuity going on here. I think those tires are going to be too big also but other than that, top notch build bud. Could be wrong on the tires though......

Weird huh!! That was my plans as soon as I saw the rules. Glad its going to work out. Well I hope

The tires probably will be too big. Thats all I have for now though so we shall see.

As usual, I only post tech if it has the possibility of becoming a sticky

The body looks killer painted btw... Want to see some pics?

Well it fell into a "puddle" so most of the work was done for me

It did ok, it feels like a much heavier and planted rig compared to the Losi. However there are a few things I need to work on because it does suffer in a few areas.
