Default One bitchin TLT-big truck killer? I think so!











This is J.B.'s new ride, no specs on it but I will tell you that it is extremely low and light. I dont think I saw it ever really get stuck today with 3+ hours of crawling :-|

It's gonna kick arse at Green River in April

OK, it is before you get to Madisonville. I have been down there to see Chris Knight play. It takes about 3 hours to get there from where i live. I wish that I could be there, but I iwll be in Tucson AZ that week...

nope ;)

It's just really low slung-it actualy made it over those rocks a few times with no troubles.

TFM shot me an e-mail or get ahold of me on AIM, we actualy crawl about once a week in a few places so maybe you could come down another time ;)

Alrighty. I added you to my AIM list.

Oh, and I dig on the stadium truck bodies. I am running an old T3 body on my TLT.

It kinda shocked me too

But he speaks truth-with the lathe motor his truck runs just as long on a 1100 mah pack as mine does on a 3300 pack with a 17t motor And to add to it, the whole truck loaded is extremely light, much lighter then any of my TLT's have even been.

Do tell/show us the chassis, i am also very interested in it. I'd like to make mine ultralight as well, Use lithiums and maybe a 400 size motor.
