Default TLT Stock Suspension Reconfiguration

Well I was bored and I wanted to make my stock tlt a better crawler, because my chassis and parts aren't here yet. So this is what I came up with, the only other parts I used were turnbuckles from an old nitro car, and it would all work if I had driveshafts about an inch bigger than stock, but I don't so I am waiting to get my chassis. The ground clearance almost tripled, not sure how much because I never put it all together because no driveshafts.

P.S. my table is a little more cluttered than normal. haha





no one read the other post so I changed it to a more catchy name hah

To start, I would move the lower links. Mount the chassis side at the bottom of the chassis plates. Then stand your shocks up so they are almost vertical. You won't have much travel, but the stock TLT shocks are too soft to lay that far over.

plus when your suspension flexes the axle will move forward and back instead of up and down
