Default Daddyduck,s tlt-1 scaler build

Well I got a basically brand new rock buster today. The guy really took care of it. It has a real fast motor in it with Jr fm radio. Looking foward to building a sweet truck out of it. I have built Axial trucks wheely king crawlers and scalers. A txt1 and a tundra. So I know a little. It around Tamiya toys. I really want to make a 1.5 scale out of it.

I own a lot if jeep scalers I want to stay with jeeps. The only ones I don't have is the jk 4d and the rj speed one. Which do you think? Is the rj speed one big enough? It looks old school.

I just got a dingo body for my tlt. My chassis fits it perfect. I might be able to get away w/ Velcro attaching body. If u still wanna use my chassis for a layout that's fine w/ me cuz it can be cut to size

Not at all. It has the fender flares on the body and it actually lines up almost perfect

Nice. Here is a pic of my Honcho. Jeep body I'm doing. Cut the insides out of a stock dingo and the front part of the roll cage to make it fit.

That looks good! U gonna use the roll cage also?
I gotta shorten my links 1/2" I think before I can mount my body right. I did de-anodize my beadlocks today at work. Green wasn't matching the orange

I felt the same way when I got it all together. I got some partscoming in from lil lots I've bought and hopefully I can get the wheelbase right. In the mean time I need to create "body mounts

Just wondering ?

Does anyone know where you can get the links mounts for these axles.
