Default My New TLT Comp Rig!
Well this thread is going to be my buildup thread. Here I will show you from scratch to finish.

For this project I will be using:
TLT axles and chassis plates
45t Integy lathe
12t pinion and 90t spur
Intellispeed forward/reverse esc
TQ3 modded for rear steer
Pede tranny
narrowed pede front rims
2.2 Moabs

As of right now there really hasn't been any building. All I've done was narrow wheels and mod a TQ3 for indi rear steer. I've also got a good setup of how i want it to be.







Those wheels are probably not the same ones I'll be using. The ones on there are Pede rears and I'm going to be using narrowed pede fronts because those will give more offset.

Right now I've also got a new TLT kit from ultimatehobbies on the way so I'll have nice new shiny axles and other parts. I will also be using the stock chassis plates but hack the sh!t out of 'em. There will basically be just enough chassis there to mount links and tranny.

I'll also be working on another TLT here and there.

Because rules have changed and you will be left in the dust if you don't adapt.

BTW your hands are kind of girly. Maybe loose the Lee press on nails and you might pass for a dude.

Man Rizzo, I wish they would change the rules here . Oh well, at least I am within driving distance of some comps, could be worse I guess.

LOL No I'm not a girl. I was thinking the same thing about the pics when i saw them on the comp. I guess it was just the lighting and angle I took the pic.

Slim, Thanks for the compliment.

Harris, who would forget about shock mounts, especially when you have nice piggyback shocks.

Got some goodies today.

Another set of 2.2 Moabs, pede fronts(that I'm going to narrow), rod ends, 2.2 hexes, and some screws for random mods.



And I was feeling very artistic and this happened:



And those foams I'll give to whoever wants them. Send me $5 for shipping and they're yours.

Jackie!! Why did you have to stick your hands in the picture? Ohh well, at least you washed them first, I would hate to see what had been STUCK to them previously.

(the reason i know this is that braceysdad was bragging to me about being number three in this little group. NO experience WHATSOEVER on my part)

Ok ok, I'll admitt, I AM A GIRL!! NOT!!!!!!

Anyway, those wheels in the pics are now narrowed. Narrowing wheels gets boring after a while, especially after your third set.

Maybe just years of "hand lotion" use. Show us your palms.
