ooo u got to let us know how the 45t lathe works out... i have 55t and it has gobs of torque... almost to much but it donesnt have quite the wheel spin... i wounder if the 45 has enough torque for the wheel spin... looks like shes gonna be a cool rig.

no ones from a jato and one I am not sure came with the tranny and axles. I got one and a half driveshafts when I bought them and had to make them into one to make it long enough

well painted everything today. finished sleeving the control arms, and acutally bolted everything down




I need to move my shocks in more...when flexed the shock is really close to the tire when the tire is just facing forward

and heres where I think I will put my electronics. I was gonna mount the rooster on the rear axle but that was an extra mount I would have to make haha

Wow, thats a beautifully done TLT. Links and body match really well.

You can do a 1/28th version of your truck, I run a pair of very scale Swamper tires.

Looks really nice; both of them.

BTW: Back that green with black and it should dull the green up to match your camo green a little better.
