Default Finaly got my "TLT" going

After letting it sit for like 9 months I started workin on it a couple months ago, I finaly got it going for a first test. I bought a custom chassis from rckjeep and I pieced links together from some junk I had layin around. Here is the list of mods: RC4WD R2 tranny, 55t lathe with 20tooth pinion, t-maxx shafts, mashers on stock pede wheels, link mounts for the shocks, unimoger servo plates and surely some other crap I can't think of. Here are a couple of pics:





it aint much...but its fun to trash anyways.

i have only one suggestion, shorten the upper links. in that first pic it looks like the front axles is tilted forward pretty bad. shotening the upper links will level out the axles.

so far excellent. The only problem I have had is that you have to pull the front cover off to put a 20tooth pinion on. That and the output shafts like to eat drill bits. They are really hard.

Cool to see a Rock Star chassis. Looks good, but as was mentioned above you really need to fix that camber issue front and rear...

thats not camber its caster. camber is the tire leaning right or left.camber is the relationship of the kingpin to the axle (front to back) ;)

one thing i can add is get rid of that duct tape on the pack. it can short things out. use electrical tape if needed.
