|  My tlt crawler (pics)
Got the junfac chassis kit and assembled it over the weekend. Locked the front/rear/center diffs. Here are some pics of the test run. I still have to move things around because I was toppling over a lot. The body isn't permanent, but I needed something. I'm just waiting on the gmade wheel wideners since they are on backorder. And yes, my passenger side tires are backwards, didn't notice how I glued them till I put them on lol.       |

That looks like an excellent place to crawl. Looks nice.  I have a stock TLT and I will be doing the same thing soon. How difficult was it to put the chassis on? |

come over to baltimore, and we'll crawl :P this place is acutally the backyard of a metal shop and there is also a creek that runs right in the back. and everytime it floods, the shop floods as well, so they dumped tons of rocks to protect the cliff of eroding away and prevent flooding, so I took advantage of :P the chassis was pretty easy to assemble once you know what you're doing. And look at the pictures carefully on the janfac website for assembly, I had to go back and forth with things that I carelessly overlook and assembled wrong lol. here is a pic of the rear setup. I found a nice saddlepack that will fit over the axle where a servo would be for 4WS, so it fitted nicely with some velcro. also, the tlt kit makes you use the rear bumper for a locked rear axle, but I just make a custom link and screwed it in where the mounting plate sits and it works perfectly.

ok so you are in the right way with the time you may be want to change the stock tranny and put a pede tranny with traxxas drive shafts.......and may be change the chassis ....for a chassis like a sw2..or something more competitive than the tracer chassis of course if you want something more competitive have fun |
