Default My XL4 TLT

This is something I though together this past weekend,

Locked TLT axles
B4 trans locked
Maxx2.5 driveshafts
XL4 chassis
55T lathe
TR2
JR125mg servo
United 1100 7 cell pack
Delrin links
Moabs on home made wheels and bead locks
Traxxas big bore aluminum shocks with Losi red springs
And topped off with a HPI Baja Bug body











This thing has a silly low COG, I took it up to HobbyTown today for a little run down. It works great. Can't wait for the comp on the 24th to really tyr it out.

This is before I drilled them for the 5 bolt pattern and painted them.

The XL4 is such a SWEET design. Lite, Strong, and versatile! Great job RD, you have a winner on your hands!

Well now that your a vendor, you need to get a vendors page together w/ prices and available options.

I'm sure you'll sell a ton of chassis and wheels.

Glad I could do the testing for you! Awesome chassis!

Can't wait to get a set of wheels to try out! Congrats!
