Default It's alive!! The TLT lives!

Well, it took a bit but it's running. So I thought I would post some pictures.
Nothing special, but it's a start.

It looks great! Now all I have to do to get mine alive is a chassis, electronics, links, shocks, body. Then I'm good!

Sorry, the secrets out

As soon as the snow melts I will get it out.
I did a little warehouse crawling at work today just to test it out. This thing is way better then my Nylint.

The Nylint is what got me hooked, I have to give it some credit.

Let's see, some specs;
Bender Customs Chassis, Rebel 2 ESC, 45T motor, 12T pinion, Moab tires, Rustler rims (front), shocks from an MGT10 with T-Maxx springs, TQ3 radio and receiver, locked diffs front and rear, sliders and the normal Traxus link stuff, that's about it. I pretty happy with it so far. I still need to do a little tweaking with the gearing to find a good setup, but that will come with time.
