| Teaserof my comp TLT
Height of beverage bottle in the picture is 7 inches. This is maxxing out the suspension. I have a behind the axle steering setup that I did several months ago, seems to work pretty good. List of things to finish before I can test run it. Rear drive shaft, need to buy some tomarrow Relock the diffs, had the open for awhile. Solder connections to the ESC, brand new Tekin Rebel 2. Then after I test it out, if it handles well I need to finish it. I'll have to replace a few of the brackets. Add body posts, glue the tires after I decide how I want to run the foam. And a few other minor details. Here is the teaser shot. |

I am thinking it is to much as well. I will probably put some spacers in the shocks. But before I limit anything, I want to do some testing. I just slapped most of it together last night, and finished a little more earlier today. Need to have it finished this weekend for a comp. |
