| What kind of deal is this?
Been reading and reading the last few days so I decided its time to post? I'm looking to get into a crawler. And would like some advice! I've been thinking of a mini losi TLT or AX-10 So a local guy is selling a TLT he doesnt use and I need to know what kind of deal this is, I probably should upgrade my transmitter as well. TLT based crawler: TLT axles Pro-line 2.2 inch Moab tires Hitec heavy duty metal gear servo's Traxxas Stamepede Transmission Bender SW2 Chassis 55 turn lathe motor Comes with: Body (needs to be mounted) Electronics and radio (radio needs a new battery holder) Battery and battery charger I noticed today that I'm missing one half of each of the drive shafts. You can pick these up on ebay or at a hobby shop for real cheap. The halves that are still attached have heavy duty steel yokes and u-joints. I've got about $350 into it so i'd like to get $175 for it. This is a great starter crawler and the amount of upgrades for it are pretty much endless. |

Sounds like a pretty decent deal to me,especially since it already has a stampede tranny. But it looks like the four link setup needs some adjustment. But still,I would buy it.

It's dated, but still a bargain.

I have one like that (more upgrades) but I wouldn't let it got for near that price. I think it is a good deal for a starter. |

That's pretty much what my first TLT looked like... SW2, TLT's, Moabs... I'd buy it!

if you get it make sure you pick up a set of beadlock rims! |

If I was looking to set this up for good articulation and flex along with decent power what should I look into getting? Also what transmitters are people using these days? I am a RC NOOB |

Buy It! I sold a TLT with simulare specs for Way more than the price you can get it. For that price, Buy It. As far as set-up, A cheep tq2 or 3 will suffice. And a xl5 speedo will do a crawler good.. Last edited by Da Hermit; 07-21-2009 at 12:57 AM. |

For the $175 or so .... buy it it would be a great starter rig for the price. i'm sure many many of us have started with the same rig. He is mine and i still get it out for time on the rocks |

To be honest, there is far better crawlers in the for sale section for the same price or just slightly more. This is a perfect example: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=190244 I think you can buy stronger axles than the TLT with more upgrade options. I personally would pass on the SW2 TLT for $175 and use that money for something better. |
