If you bought the TLT kit, you can use the stock body mounts in the shock mounting holes. Nice looking build BTW.

Soya · 09-23-2006, 10:07 PM

I'm that guy from hobbytown. Nice truck

invertman · 09-23-2006, 10:22 PM

almost done.
decaled the body today.
cut down the body posts.
just need to order widening kit and switch out the
steering servo. the 3003 aint gonna cut it!!!
bring on the rocks!!

invertman · 09-23-2006, 10:31 PM

thanks bender for the info.
i did buy a tlt kit for this build.
i will look at those mounts again.
thanks for the kind words,also wanted to complment you
on a great chassis,being a novice in rock crawling i wanted
to start with a proven chassis setup.
thanks again.

invertman · 09-23-2006, 10:34 PM

thanks soya,
let me know when you work again.
i will bring it by for you to check out.

Mnster · 09-24-2006, 02:03 AM

Look into the Futaba 3305 or the Hitec 645mg. The local hobbytown stocks both.

tmyjeeper · 09-24-2006, 09:42 AM

645MG seems to be what most guys run in their 2.2s. I have ran them for a while and other than a few stripped gears they work great.

invertman · 09-24-2006, 11:07 AM

thanks for the info.
i installed a jr8411 digital servo this morning
that i got from a buddy of mine.
it works great. might be a little overkill.
155oz.in @ 6 volts.

invertman · 09-24-2006, 04:21 PM

well i took my rig for its first run on the
rocks.
here are a few pics.

invertman · 09-24-2006, 06:24 PM

couple more pics!

Cole82 · 09-24-2006, 06:41 PM

Did you go crawling with Ben & Zach today?
Truck looks great. You should come up to devil's lake with us.

Mnster · 09-24-2006, 06:50 PM

Wish my brother and I could have made it Cole. We had to much going on today.:neutral:

Truck looks great, it's weird to see someone elses truck at that park. Looks as though you have the truck setup right. That crawl area looks very clear or cleaned out since the last time I was there, must have been the rain.

invertman · 09-24-2006, 07:00 PM

yea,
the rocks were pretty dry, i wanted to cross the creek bed
and climb the hill on the other side but it was slick down there.

it was a good time for my son and i.
i let my son try his hand at crawling.
for an 8 year old he did pretty well.
i think he is hooked,now he wants me to do a father son
build this winter.

invertman · 09-24-2006, 07:21 PM

as far as devils lake is concerned,i would like to try to make it.
i need to know what time you guys are heading out and getting back.
maybe we could meet somewhere and i could follow you up there.
ive never been there before and im cruddy with directions...lol.
my wife works nights so i would have to be back in town by
5 or 6pm. have to get the boy ready for school on mon.

Cole82 · 09-24-2006, 07:25 PM

Ben in Zach live close to you I'm sure they will convoy with you. That's really not a problem to be back by 6:00 I like being back by then too.

invertman · 09-24-2006, 08:27 PM

that would be great.
i live about 30min from byron.
my sister lives there.
i think soya lives in machesney park witch is the next town
to me. so i think it would work.

Mnster · 09-24-2006, 08:27 PM

It's really not to bad of a drive, basicly you just hop on 39 till you see the Ho chunk casino exit. Then you take a left and head straight through Baraboo, then just as you head out of town. You will see a sign after the Menards and right before the road curves to take a left. Take the left, go till you get to a stop sign and turn right, your at the park. We could meet somewhere near the highway or in Loves park and convoy to the park.

We are planning to meet at the park at 11 and leave when we get bored. Will probably be home before 6 as we don't want to cause to much damage to the trucks. Lots of walking, is required to get to the really good places. If your into photography bring your camera the lake has some of the most amazing views in the midwest.

invertman · 09-24-2006, 08:48 PM

sounds great,
i will get ahold of you towards the end of the week
or you can get ahold of me so we can find a place
to meet.
also what about radio frequencies.
i only have 1 extra set of crystals
i have 4 and 6
if it even matters.

Mnster · 09-24-2006, 09:31 PM

We are general pretty good about that. Some of us are on the 27mhz band TQ3 radios and others on the 75mhz so we don't generally have problems. If we do I should have a whole crystal set by then so we can change as needed.

Cole82 · 09-24-2006, 09:55 PM

I'm 75mhz fm and allways bring extra
I to have every crystal offered by traxxas. I just don't use that radio anymore.
