Talking my tlt-1, not much of a crawler with a GTB 5.5 in it... :D

This thing is sweet with 4ws and a GTB 5.5...The thing will almost lift off the ground when spinning on one wheel at full throttle!


And yeah, it can crawl too! Not as good as most rides I see here, but still fun enough!

Looks like a blast, I have been wanting to build another one using the stock chassis style and turn it into a basher with some speed. Thats how my first tlt started out and I loved it! Get some video of that thing!

Man that thing must be fun to drive, just don't like the cheap looking wheels the red is kind of out of place.

I haven't glues the tires on yet as I'm waiting for some sweet aluminum wheels (beadlocks) from jpspro.com. Needless to say, tires fly off this thing faster than I can put them on!

It's actually pretty funny to watch the truck spin and all of a sudden one or two tires fling from the vehicle and go flying across the room!

I'll see if I can get the gf to take some video for me!

None (so far) though It's still a pretty fresh build ... I have all the parts to create a real crawler (fresh stealth tranny, custom chassis, etc..), so I'm going to keep this truck the way it is. I may add an aluminum pully or something, but mostly I'll just stock up on belts... I'm expecting slippage any time now
