Clod has 32 pitch gears and the TLT uses 48 ptich gears so they are incompatible.

Keep searching about the tranny. There's a million threads on it. But I would say use JB Weld or some sort of epoxy. Gonna need to put some sort of tensioner on that belt too...

locking center diff tlt?

hey if you want to lock the diffs, just put the third spindle gear in between two of them...
it will take some noodling around, but if you get it in just right, the covers will fit on there perfectly...

i just finished my tlt build, but i used the tracer chasis 1/10 conversion kit, very nice, alloy shock mounts etc etc... type "tracer tlt" in the bay and it should pop up... there are also alot of nice parts from the same manufacturer, but if you order the conversion kit, it comes with everything you will want...

as for your belt tranny, there are a coupla ways to lock your ball differential inside the tranny....
tighten the crap out of it, (it will still slip a little... i tried this and i didn't like it)
jb weld, crazy glue (these are permanent, just put the glue over the ball bearings inbetween the plates and make sure that you cant spin the diff after your done... i used crazy glue... love it... world of difference in climbing)
hot-glue (same concept as the jbweld, and crazy glue, not permanent, you can remove it later)

hope that helps...

-james

so i finally decided to lock the diffs , and install the aluminum hub carriers that had been sitting around for a couple of weeks, later i'll do the rear diff and hubs also will lock the stock tranny , while i can get a hold of better tranny, anyone knows if the traxxas bandit tranny might work? i also have a team losi buggy for spares, don't remember the model but here is a picture , any one done this tranny?

That tranny should (lose the Hydra Drive) work if you can fit it is that chassis. Truck looks good. Order a 1/10 scale body for it!
