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?

Greetz

Dino

Default 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.
