Looks pretty good. One thing you should do tho is move all your steering links above the knucke. Better clearance and it only taks a few minutes.

4u2nv · 01-07-2006, 10:16 AM

Nice job. Like the hex links.

nd4spdbh · 01-07-2006, 10:17 AM

OMG... ILRCRC actually said something of good use...

jk... yes get thoes steering links above knuckles.... also y did you widen the chassis to fit the pede tranny in.... looks a little wide and un braced if you ask me... DITCH the two batteries.... one is fine above front axle.... also TURN YOUR CAPS LOCK OFF ITS REALLY REALLY HARD TO READ!!!!

one legged machinist · 01-07-2006, 11:51 AM

Plays_with_Toys · 01-07-2006, 02:44 PM

nd4spdbh · 01-07-2006, 08:42 PM

nice.... hey if you want some bash proof steering links. sleeve them with 3/16" break line... i run it on mine and it works great.

ColquittCustom405 · 01-08-2006, 12:20 AM

Sick little rig!

rckjeep · 01-08-2006, 01:53 AM

In this picture, Why did you put your links outside the brackets after the shocks? That is stupid. Use the bracket with two holes and install the lower links in one and the shock in the other. Your axle will stop flopping around.

one legged machinist · 01-08-2006, 02:24 PM

Things work great the way they are now there piehole

If i moved links any closer to tire they rub "something you know alot about!"

DO YOU SEE!

Don't mess with the ONE LEGGED MADMAN

Plays_with_Toys · 01-08-2006, 07:08 PM

Actually I would have to agree with RCK. Space out the lower links at the chassis (maybe a 1/4-3/8" and then move the linkes inside the bracket. If you need to keep the shocks spaced out, add some spacers, but because both your link triangles are in the same direction, then you don't have much stopping side to side flop. By making triangles in opposite directions, you make the axle stable. Thats why all really solid links on rigs have a set of parrallel links with one set of triangles, or dual triangulated links. Though, some say if you triangle too much with the second triangle, you limit flex.

ILoveRCRockCrawlin · 01-08-2006, 07:36 PM

What shafts are you using? They look really long, and don't look like they've been extended.

one legged machinist · 01-08-2006, 07:37 PM

Hey well i didn't build this thing to be road worthy.I want that crap to flop all over.I tried many different spot for links w/x factor shocks and links there is very little room.Im going to post a little indoor vid in a day or so.Keep your eye open for it.

Cut them post down for side clip

i agree PWT. having your shocks and links mounted on the same side of that bracket makes for one h e ll of a single shear point. it's just a weak spot that's easy to eliminate. other than that, it's a cool looking TLT!

Unimoger · 01-09-2006, 03:59 PM

I don't think as a newbie, you should be making statements like that to a longtime memeber of RCC, I also agree with him on the link mount. I have built tons of these and never seen one work very well the way you have it. Just my 15 years worth of .o2 cents
