| "Mee" Torsion TLT
It has been a long time since I have had a rig, and well I have been out of the scene for quite some time too. So I got this rig together to stomp everyone at the WE Rock comp lol and show up all the old folk lol Named "Mee" because well i could not think of a great name and im tall, skinny, and lanky and this chassis is too. lol Thanks to Kenn, FrankyRizoo, and Scott, DieselFuel, I got this truck put together. Kenn donated me the chassis, tranny, and wheels and tires. And both of them helped me assemble it. Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. Pics.... Specs: Pimp Slap Chassis 55t lathe XRS TQ3 8 Cell AA Future plans: Axle C's Alum knuckles Brushless system cvd's when they come avail Im pretty impressed with the truck overall. It can uphill like a champ, and side hill pretty well. Break over is not anything great, and well the limited flex is just something to get use to and work around. Im still learning how to drive this truck, but it has impressed me so far. Any comments suggestions welcome. Thanks. |

For future plans, add bearings. You wont regret it! Get them when you get the knuckles, if you get the knuckles from R2J, you'll get a good price on them. Looks good, btw.

Why do you bother with posting worthless ****? I liked my torsion, but shocks are better for my terrain! |

Some HIp wheels i think lol they are painted silver on the inside. lol I have a little video, let me get it together. (Noise is from some where inside the tranny, going to open it up tomorrow and have a looksie.) View My Video Thanks, I love taking the pictures. Thanks for all the good comments guys. The torsions are truely something else, you have to drive one to see. Last edited by sean_lv_crawler; 02-20-2007 at 01:50 AM. | |
