I'll be getting a tlt kit for 70 bucks, could I be in the running? And if I can can we use stuff we have at home already, like esc, radio, ect. or do we have to buy new stuff? Just keep it under 300?

As far as the prices of the parts they are all in pretty bad shape hence the 150 for the rtr tlt they were on. | |

Some crazy articulation you've got there. Seriously, Hows the offset torsion working out for ya? EDIT: Now that I see it, It would appear you'd have greater flex one way because leverage on the rod is more. Which also means the other side would have almost no flex.

Nope it flexes the same both ways I spent ALOT of time testing these out to make them where they would flex the same before I put this chassis on the market.The truck wont flex good till the back bone is broke in that takes a couple crawls but when its good and broke in it flexes pretty good.

Define "complete"  No one ever said all the parts have to be in the same place they started! I'll have to post some pics of mine sometime...it would have been a contender! |
