It's a good start. Brings back a lot of memories Now cut it up! The more you drive it, the more you'll see where it needs improvement. You'll want some better shocks & springs soon, and lower the truck a bit. The belt drive won't last long, either. Enjoy it now, then enjoy modifying it. That's where the real fun is |

Very true, once you get started the modifications never stop.

Servus again, @ all : thank you for your comments. @ mattdg: Links from solid alloy 7075, 2,37" and the dogbones (i think you mean the drivedrain) are from www.truckmonster.de @ clodking: yes, do modification is the real fun, cause i´m more a better builder than a driver.... @ microgoat: New springs/shocks were ordered after the first run.... @ maxxdrive: yes, cuttet out of 1,5 mm zinc-plated sheet steel (<- i hope thats right) @ badjeep: www.truckmonster.de Now i want do kill the flexing of the Servo mount (hitech 645), may somebody know alloy servo mounts for the TLT, or have i do some by my own?

| Flexing
Hi, First off you have a very nice looking crawler. As to your servo mount flexing, What I did on mine was drill thru the two holes that fit over the pins and run a small 3mm bolt thru them to hold it. It works great. If you need a picture let me know or you might find one on the site somewhere.
