Fat-rock axle Cs, RCP knuckles and CVDs are the best things for TLT axles. im still waiting to buy an ESC for this thing, not having a job sucks..

This will probably become someones signature in the next day or so. I might just have to do that. I did the same thing on my berg. Just flip the reverse on the TX and that should fix it.

ran it at amazing Taylor's Falls up here in Minnesota yesterday for its maiden voyage. ive crawled from Moab to San Diego and this is still one of my favorite spots.

just gotta make some changes on the electronics placement, the MM is zip tied to the dash for now. thanks TommEGunn for the pics!

It looks sweet. What exactly did you do to those tires? Are those modified flat irons? How are they working for you?

This rig ran great yesterday. Scott let me drive it for a bit and it was a pleasure to drive. Handles real well. Great job Scott.

Just remember, no dig.

they are heavily chopped and worn flatirons. i ran them at nationals last year and they were still laying around. ive got a set of comp claws to put on the tuber but for the day i left it alone. they work better than stock 'irons and better when they're newer.

Throw some CVD's in there

I'm still trying to work out how to put axials under my 2.2 racer. I'll throw together a spare set of CVD's if you want to come race out here next weekend
