|  Add ten mm to your tlts width.
Finally something good from rcca. Someone sent in a question about makin the tlt wider and they came up with this. Tamiya makes tg10 long wheel axles that fit into the tlt. It comes with the new stub axles and the new hex adaptors. You have to get two sets to do it to the whole truck. It will add around 10mm to the overall width and with wild dagger wheels you can add another ten mm. Im not sure if stampede wheels have more offset or not then the wild dagger wheels. Someone will have to check.

You can get much wider than that actually. My TLT's stance is 1.5" (approx. 38mm) wider than stock.  With my HPI rims and CEN MT2 tires my truck's width is 12.25" I also have a fair amount of articulation as well   |

Sweet Now you just need to wident it, throw on some new shocks, make a custom chassis, drop a Stampede tranny in it, re-locate your links, cut up your tires, throw a full size body on it (just purchased mine today) and then drive the crap out of it Just kidding, all you really need to do is just drive the crap out of it. |

Lol, the way you look at it, i would need to do all those things. I will do em, but I will take my time. I wont be able to spend much money for a while, so nothing will change much on my car except the shocks. My first crawler, w000t... I can't wait until sept. 4 when us texans have a crawling "comp" .... I will make my own thread for this soon (once I get the car) so I wont take over this thread... whats your wheelbase wookie?? What do u think mine is? |

| Re: Add ten mm to your tlts width.
Here are the basic dimensions of my truck: Wheelbase...........................11.5" (actually just a little over that) Total length..........................17" Width...................................12.25" Center clearance...................3.25" My guess is that your wheelbase is around 11" to 11.5", pretty close to mine. The biggest difference will be center clearance and width. Unless you go with a Stampede tranny and new chassis you will be hard pressed to get over 2.75" of center clearance. That makes a big difference in crawling. Give it time and build your TLT up right and it will be an awesome little truck. |

| Re: Add ten mm to your tlts width.
The wideners are from www.inetrc.com and are actually made for the Clodbuster, but are a perfect fit for the TLT. They run $39.99 for a set of 4. I've had zero problems with the wideners and they have performed excellent so far for almost two months of hard crawling. I haven't tried the IMEX puller tires yet. I went with the CEN MT2 tires since they are .25" taller than the Pullers and I could cut the tread to a pattern that I like better. I recently completed cutting my tires, but cutting every other center lug out. My guess is that the IMEX Puller tires will work great for crawling, just make sure to leave the foam out of the tires. |

| Re: Add ten mm to your tlts width.
What kind run time do I get? Well, I get approximately 1 hour out of a 2400 mAh pack 8O . I run a 55 turn Integy lathe motor and have 15/87 gearing on my Pede tranny. This gives me a top speed of around 4 mph. Look for my truck to grow longer in the very near future. I'm lengthening my Pede sliders and am going to stretch my wheelbase to 13" - 14". I'm also going to try and up my center clearance to around 3.75" - 4". I should have it done by this weekend and ready to crawl on Sunday. |
