Default Another scale tlt-10 Project in the making(pic update1/3/04

Ok, so i am looking for something a little different with the completion of this truck.

First we start with a scale engine block to house the 540 size motor:

Then we add the tranny and t-case

Next we add revolver shackles

Heavy duty frame

Aluminum skids

Jeep body

opening hood

75% of frame cut.

There is still a ways to go with the engine intake, belts, pullies and turing fan. The chassis was finished today, sorry no pics. Lots of work to go, but a fun project.

Looks like you copied the text from an EZ board.

Change the [image] tags to [ img ]

remove the spaces, of course.

Cool. Is that body from a Radio Shack RC? I have one sitting in the closet waiting to be put to use - maybe when I build my second TLT. ;)

Springs look like those from a Jugg. Very cool project. Can't wait to see what the finished engine/trans/transfer looks like when your done with them.

Here you go:
http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...LXNM39&P=7

Keep in mind that tamiya has made various leaf springs over the years. THe mammoth had the stiffest with 5 leaves.
the jugg and semis each have 3 and are stiff,
the bruiser/mountaineer had 3 and are softer
the hilux/blazer had 3 and stiff.

jugg and mammoth springs offer the most arch.

I am doing a begginer tlt for the boys, 10" wheelbase and 4.5" or under tires. I will see how it works. I think I am going to be surprized.

BTW: anybody lunch a front diff yet??? I think I am on my way to the
first one for me. I need jug axles.

If you look at the second pic, you can see how the diffs and springs mount. Basically flip them upside down and make a 1/4" stock piece with a hole to mount over the rivot in the spring and mount to the stock tlt link mount.
