Plan is to build a tlt using the stock chassis, and to start the stock trans i guess, eventually throw a pede tranny in there, with pede shafts. Gonna eventually run moab 2.2's with yet undecided wheels.

if i ever get a pede tranny before summer i may have my uncle cut me a chassis outta some alum. But for now i think i'm gonna stick with the stock one, as i can easily cut it with a jigsaw of all things

[Brian, aka XJFanatic.com]

got the transmitter and reciever today, body should be here tomorrow, along with the motor i'm hoping.

Think i'm just gonna bite the bullet and charge the esc

[Brian, aka XJFanatic.com]

well, I got crystals today, the xmod ones 15.99 for 6

and ordered a MC330CR, knockoff from ebay for 30 shipped, the 50 bux i saved from it will go to dropping a pede tranny in, the speedo will work till summer when i get a tekin, figured this one will work in a street car than

I tried getting a 55t from rcboca also, they are out of stock just like everyone else. Hope you got one before they sold out.

[Brian, aka XJFanatic.com]

well they billed me for it, so they better have it, that is all i have to say bout it

[Brian, aka XJFanatic.com]

well, RCboca didnt have it, got it from hobby-sports.com, got the last one.

Lookin like everything left should get here all bout the same time, sept maybe the mc330cr.

Got the body today, and took a pic of the stuff i got, yes i know my rooms a fawkin mess, well actually clean for me, dont mind the nylint torn apart thats my parts chassis, i got one untouched and one modded chassis too.

anyway pic



Also gonna talked to my boss and he's gonna let me work for some extra cash this coming week doin some of his computer stuff. Which includes teaching him how to use his laptop

SO with the extra money i'm gettin a pede trans, so i'll have a pede trans tlt with stock tires and wheels, hahaha it'll work. Now just to figure out a name.

[one legged machinist]

I just did low cost tlt-10 using stock frame and mostly stock parts out of the kit w/pede tranny

[Brian, aka XJFanatic.com]

:-P If you want to buy some cheap wheel w/o having to buy wideners, run the duratrax maximun st from tower hobbies. They work great!!

some more pics, still need to shave the bottom of the stock chassis, and new shocks are on the way, along with a steering servo and speedo
