Default Teaserof my comp TLT

Height of beverage bottle in the picture is 7 inches. This is maxxing out the suspension. I have a behind the axle steering setup that I did several months ago, seems to work pretty good.

List of things to finish before I can test run it.

Rear drive shaft, need to buy some tomarrow
Relock the diffs, had the open for awhile.
Solder connections to the ESC, brand new Tekin Rebel 2.

Then after I test it out, if it handles well I need to finish it. I'll have to replace a few of the brackets. Add body posts, glue the tires after I decide how I want to run the foam. And a few other minor details.

Here is the teaser shot.

I am thinking it is to much as well. I will probably put some spacers in the shocks. But before I limit anything, I want to do some testing. I just slapped most of it together last night, and finished a little more earlier today.

Need to have it finished this weekend for a comp.

X20.............limit if it does not work well for you.....and flex dont break chit.....poor driving does

Im very happy with the way my truck works...I need to make some small adjustments bu the truck at this point is much more cpable than my driving skils..and if I listened to these guys nothing I did would work, too much travel.......paralell links dont work, yada yada yada..........build it the way you think is right, then tweek it for YOUR driving style..not someone elses
