Default Future TLT Build

I am for sure building up a TLT-1 crawler after I get all my other RC's all fixed and running. I will need some help in this build in what to get. Right now this is what I got:
TLT-1 79.95
Integy lathe motor 18.00
DT-1 Frame 60.00
Moped V16R 30.00
Masher 2ks 24.00 (maybe)
Proline Ford f150 body 25.00
HPI Sport Shock 2 Set 70-103mm (2) -15.00 each
Towerpro 995MG 25.00


I want to go for the scale look. So I will need to stretch it in order to fit the maxx body. Any reccomendations for other parts will be helpful. I know I will need some other small parts. I really want some tires that look like the real thing, so i am not sure about the mashers yet. Thanks in ahead!

If it were my build, I'd add a better tranny (Stampede is the overwhelming favorite), and drivelines. You will need wheels. I'm guessing you already have a radio.

Looks like you are on the right track!

Yeah an aftermarket tranny will definetly help. There are several builds in the TLT section using the stock TLT side plates modded slightly to use a Stealth or Losi tranny. That it the way to go in my opinion. They are smaller, lighter, and stronger than a Pede tranny. Add a set of Max shafts and yokes and your good to go!
