If you guy's have ever watched Jason crawl (other than comps) he uses a rock race style approach and uses anything and anyone (or their rig) for traction! I always give him krap and tell him I'm gonna sticker my rig with grip tape so he can get over easier! Get well soon Jason so you can get back to driving over peoples junk.

I love it, I want one now, damn you DD. How do the TLT shocks hold up to the pounding you put on them? got any specs? cog, wb, etc? what motor and gears? battery? run times? I just got to know it all man.

I put some aftermarket springs on it to keep it tighter. I'm playing with the suspension still. I'm going to mount the shocks higher and lower the ride height. I want about 70% down travel, like the real thing.
The truck is basically the SW2 crawler. I messed with the link mounting, etc. I wanted the lower links pivoting from the center of the chassis to allow maximum droop.
The wheel base is 11 1/8th.
Pede Tranny
Large spur
I'm playing with different motors.
I have a 27turn, a 15 turn, a 21 turn, etc
I want speed, as well as torque.
It will take a while to get the right combo.

I like it. The ride height looks fine to me. Well maybe just 1/4in lower. But overall looks damn Sweet.

Looks damn sweet! Have you seen the hellfire front bumper with skidplate set? I bet it would look good up front. Holla at me I have an extra, beotch!

My mother in law is in town this weekend so I have an extra beotch at home too. I'll make you a package deal

Looks killer DD! Looks like an 80's desert racer! And if you want POWER and speed, you need to check out the Revolver Outrunner! Those little motors rock!
