Bender, I'm ordering the black chassis off the crawler store tonight (to get the deal on the wheel wideners). I'm using my old factory team turnbuckles off my MGT and I've got a pede tranny. The lower links measure 154mm and the upper links measure 128mm, I think this will give me a wheelbase of 14 inches. Does your chassis work well at this wheelbase? What driveshafts can I use? I'm also using the old Integy piggyback shocks off the MGT (terrible shocks for the MGT hope they work well on the TLT). I put the weakest spring on that I had and it still seems to stiff, do you have any suggestions?

My chassis works great at 14", because of the extra upper shock mount holes. I'd go with 2.5 Maxx shafts for that wheelbase, there's a link to the install in the first post of this thread. Losi white buggy springs in the front and Stampede front springs in the rear have worked great for me. If you lay the shocks back a little more it'll help soften them up too.

I just went to the crawler store site and EVERYTHING is out of stock. Do you know when there will be stock? I want that black chassis, and I need the spacers  . I've got 2.2 moabs on HPI Super Stars and they hit at full turn. Do you know if the G-made wideners will be enough to fix that problem?

I'm working on the next round of chassis' now. The long weekend is going to push me back a little. I should have some ready next week. The G-made wideners should give you enough width to clear the lower links.

I have sort of the same setup and i what like to know how do you keep the rig balanced while crawling . What I mean is whenever I make steep climbs or at a weird angle my truck wants to lean to one side. The same side as the motor and transmission is heaviest at to be exact..Someone told to adjust shocks on just that side to compensate,but i figured ther's got to be a better way!
