reborn tlt project

[tltcrawlerxtrem]

Let me give you a little back round information on why this is called reborn. I got the tlt about a year ago and did some stuff here and there on it. Then i put it away for about nine months. I went to sell it and people wanted it, infact someone was about to pay, but i decided to keep it. Heres what it used to look like.

Before


And now, i start making it real, currently iam doing small tweeks like moving Axel link positions till the parts get here. Heres whats on its way

-on its way-
Vertical Smile chassis
servo link mounts
grins
Triton lipo charger
2200 MAH lipo batt
Jato drive shafts
mtroniks ESC
lathe motor(when i find one)
Jeep body
paint
bead locks

wideners
rock rings
-Recived-
