Ok guys heres the deal, I have a tlt that needs some things. It already has:
Masher 2k's
55t lathe
2jr high torque servo's(4ws)
tq3 radio and receiver
tlt trans
tlt chassis(stock)
Ok, I have $200-250. What should I get to make it a scale crawler?

A new chassis and a pede tranny.

The pede tranny is a for sure but any chassis suggestions?

Bender's SW2, or the RBX Chassis. Iv heard great things about both.

pm bender about the sw2. i have one and it is very nice, and it provides a lot of possible setups to be used. like for instance a 60/40 setup. well worth the money.
do you have any shocks? i got integey msr4 shocks (the ones without piggybacks) and they are nice. ball ends on both sides too, so its smoother.
i would buy some backup parts if its a comp crawler. the parts most offten to break are 1. the axle casing. 2. axle shafts (though not as much of a problem if you have a newer tlt or a max climber). and 3. the ring and pinon wear out sometimes.

I run the sw2 and In my opinion it is the best chassy by far I have also ran a bulu 2 and a tsc 10 chassy just for refrance.the sw2 is so stable and adjustable.Plus you gotta love the rccrawler and bender engraving

I forgot tlt shocks

Since you realize the Pede tranny is a must already, IMO you need the aforementioned Bender chassis and link mounts. I think you should also pick up some Maxx shocks and Losi white springs (20wt. oil). And perhaps some wideners. The rest of your stuff sounds pretty groovy.
