Default TLT spare parts build..

this is probably one of the funnest builds i have put together.. no rules to go by, no measurements to stay within, no idea of what will come of it.. just gather spares and build..

here's what i have in it so far.

tlt axles with all the goods, cvds, msd c's, rear straighteners, knuckles...
axial transmission with slipper
home brew chassis
scx10 shocks
ati one off wheels
flat irons
old stage killa body
hs 5645 servo
scx10 drive shafts
sr3100 rx

some pics










still deciding where i want this to go. i need a motor and maybe some larger 1.9 tires.

i'll post more as i get it up and running..

Nice I like it, its nice to see them still around the once mighty TLT has fallen to the way side and just getting parts for them is a chore. And to think the Axial was the rig to do it then the onslaught of every other rig that has come to be in just a shot time.

I remember when Tlt's with Mashers were a force to reckon with.

How do you like that link mount over the other one? I am still using the one I got from Bender. It kinda looks like a section of angle.

i like the clean look it gives.. it's more catered to scale builds.

I make them special order right now. It's hard enough to keep up with the SCX ones, let alone ad these to the line up. Also same price as SCX truss.




That's a cool little rig Ric! Great idea doing it 1.9.

Holy Crap! I love it. Time to fish out the TLT axles again and goto work on project "No Class"

Suprised at how correct the body looks for that wheelbase.
