The TLT shocks are holding up great. I tumbled the G2 about 12 feet down a hill at Gr and it came out fine other than a few scratches. The 2 inch widners are holding up great but kinda need to use aluminum knuckles. The outer arm of the plastic ones are flexing a bit and I know its only a matter of time before they snap. With that much extra width theres a good bit of tire scrub but overall stability is great now. Did add stick on lead weights to the inside of the front rims which also made a diffrence. CSR drove it at GR and took it up some ledges that I thought would be close to impossible to climb. Makes me want to break his fingers.

Im going to try and round up a few more losi trannys for those who are interested in one.

Which Losi tranny are you using, Mitch? I need to start looking for one for my new G2! ;)

aubie · 11-06-2005, 08:50 PM

XXX t or b tranny will work. I think I have one left out in the shop. If I remember correctly it has slider shafts already on it. Which should Will check tomorrow and let you know Chris. Your TXT is looking good. I have a txt tuber i've been working on for a while with some similar changes

Great minds think alike. Should bake a big diffrence on the vertical stuff.

Cool, let me know on the trans. ;)

Seriously thinking about tearing the TXT apart and using the axles with 2.2's on the G2, then building a *cough*CLOD*cough* for a Unlimited Comp rig.

aubie · 11-08-2005, 03:41 PM

Might be a bit out of scale so to speak with the txt axles. But you never know till ya try. I am setting up a G2 with cough*clod axles*cough for the atlanta comp. Will try to post some pics of it an a day or two.

I do have the losi trans and I have 2 more on the way if anyone is interested.

No more out of scale than yours with Clod axles, they're the same width. ;) I was looking at pics of your G2 with TLT axles and wideners..... TXT axles with deep backspaced wheels shouldn't be any wider than yours. The toploader TXT axles will make the G2 look like one of those Rockwell equipped Avalanche tube buggies.
