Did a few things over the past week. Heres the major things:

Added RWS
Cut chassis for more clearence
Changed springs
Lengthened wheel base (13.5in)
New lower links
New battery location (over the front axle in the chassis)
Imex single Duallys on 2.2 wheels

Specs:
13.5" wheelbase
9.5" width
4" center clearence
2.25" axle clearence
6" tire height
1.5" tire width
6.5" Top of frame to ground

The width is the problem. I plan on ditching the 2.2 wheels and adding clod rims with clod adapters.

Nice man! Looks like mine! Your really need some wheel wideners though! Is it very stable with how thin it is?

CustomCrawler · 10-08-2004, 03:36 PM

Not at all.

I'm planning on getting some TTR Clod wheel wideners. What do you use?

KidWithAcrayon · 10-08-2004, 03:39 PM

I have the inet wheel wideners.

www.inetrc.com go to clod, then go down to the bottom.

DirkDigler · 10-08-2004, 03:54 PM

I love the dually tires on that thing!

I'll bet it's really, really tippy though!!!

Bigbadwhitey · 10-08-2004, 03:56 PM

narrow some clod rims,just cut the inside off all the way to the mounting plate then trim the beed u cut off 2 fit back over the rim and glue it .I also cut the outter beeds off .Width is 11" works mint .I also run Blackfoot outer shafts on the front for a extra 1/2 in width.I need some for the Rear.I Drilled the 5 holes on the clod hub ,Bolted it together and the drilled out the center of the rim so I can Mount them on the TLT .

Kid- I went there, their wideners have hex's on both ends, not a clod hub. Maybe if I bolted a clod hub to that it would work.

Dirk- Thanks, It is tippy, I'm going to shoot for a 12" width.

Whitey- Thanks, I'll have to try that if the wideners don't work. But I will narrow the wheel that way.

KidWithAcrayon · 10-10-2004, 12:18 AM

When I got my wideners and hubs, they both had hexes on them. Do u have a link to the ttr wideners??

Heres waht I mean:

Hubs

wideners:

This is the best pic I could find of mine showing the wideners and stuff....

CustomCrawler · 10-10-2004, 08:50 AM

Those are the 3/4in. I assume the 1 1/4in wideners look the same.

Heres the link to them on RC4wd http://rc4wd.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=549

badtodabone · 10-10-2004, 09:16 AM

cool. Hey how much did those wideners cost customcrawler?

KidWithAcrayon · 10-10-2004, 09:23 AM

Look at the website... they are $44...

That kind of makes me mad since I spent $70 on wideners and hubs.... Yours aren't as wide, but they are close enough. I am guessing u will have a width around 11''-11.5''... because ur tires are more narrow than mine, and my wideners are .5'' longer.

CustomCrawler · 10-10-2004, 09:53 AM

I just ordered the wideners and 4 clod rims from TTR

How wide are your rims?

CustomCrawler · 10-11-2004, 02:46 PM

Finished cutting all the tires. Took over 4 hours. I also glued on some sidebiters.

spicollie · 10-16-2004, 09:24 AM

man those are skinny tires

JasonInAugusta · 10-16-2004, 09:18 PM

Good lookin' TLT! Makes me want one that much more.

Oh, nice RC Driver decal as well.

CustomCrawler · 10-18-2004, 02:08 PM

Thanks

Just got the wideners from TTR, but they didn't send the wheels. I'll have to email them to see whats up. Hopefully, It'll be running by the end of the week.
