| 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. Nate |

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. ;) - Chris |

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.

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. Nate |
