| new tlt builup
I just thought I'd give a sneek peek at my newest build.Decided to try a standup Stampede tranny chassis to see how I like it.Then I'll try a laydown version so I can do my own comparison.It's the nice part of working in a machine shop.It'll have the usual, Tlt axles Stampede tranny 55t lathe motor HPI Spike wheels Pro-line masher 2k's(moabs shown) body undecided On to the pics.Will post more as I get it assembled. |

X4.2 on the lock out's You should cut the running boards and fenders of the power wagon. Then run that. Nice and narrow then. |

Anyways,a few more pics.I'd like to get more done tonight but I'm getting hungry and need to hit bed pretty soon(4 am start time sucks).This is my first real TLT build so any comments or suggestions(criticism) is more than welcome.

looks good man i agree you should try to sell the chassis and link mounts. But what about the tranny cases did you build them?

No,those are Fast Lane Machine cases.Bought those over a year ago and finally go around to building a TLT.Between work and my daughter,it doesn't leave alot of free time. |

My $.2 The design is great I like it a lot. The links, Why would you take weight away down low? (Delrin links)Then add weight up high. (Aluminum tranny) It seams that is the opposite of what it should be. |
