|  I'm new to the forum and to the rc crawling world
I'm thinking building a tlt crawler with a custom made chassis. I'm planning on making a back halfed ladder frame(kind of a half ladder frame and a half tuber for those who might not know what I mean). here's what I sketched out on the computer. it is about 14" long and the wheelbase looks like it's going to be 10.5-11". any sugguestions or advice would be helpful. remember I'm a newbie so try not to be too hard me  |

I started with and 11" WB, but found the sweet spot to be 11.75"-12" with TLT's and Moabs. You wouldn't think that 3/4" would make that much difference, but it did  Looks good to me. What cab are U gona use? |

I would Think about making the wheel base longer, more like 11.5-12.5". Your idea seems good I'll be watching your build. |

instead of using a tlt I thought about using the new HPI Wheely King. since I'm doing something different with the frame I want to try something new with the base truck. what do ya think?
