|  Metalhead's 2.2 Tlt
Hey guys, great site you have here. I've been registered for awhile, but I'm just now finally getting around to posting. Anyway, I figured I'd post up my TLT-based bad boy. It's nothing extreme, but I consider it a good start for a basher.  Here's the rundown on the specs: TLT-1 chassis, suspension, axles, transmission - all fully locked Integy 45 turn lathe motor with 17 tooth pinion Custom built links with Duratrax Max MT nitro dogbones for drivelines Traxxas T-Maxx Aluminum Shocks Tamiya ESC with Duratrax/Futaba 4 channel receiver Proline Moabs mounted foamless on dyed Kyosho 2.2's from a QRC nitro Hardshell Jeep Wrangler body Full exterior paint job with clear coat, cut and buffed Here's a couple more shots before some of my suspension upgrades:   |

I actually keep the bumpers on for protection. Not that they offer all that much, but I've been running in the snow lately, and I put duct tape over them to keep the snow from packing into the steering linkage and up around the servo. It offers kind of a "stand off" from everything. I can understand why they'd be a pain for heavy rock crawling, but for the time being, they fit the bill. I put this rig in this section, because I consider it a "scale" rig, running 2.2rubber. TLT-based, true, but also a scale 2.2...sorry if I "missed the boat"...It seems kinda ambiguous to me. I'm still new here mang! |

Looks good for starters. FYI for the scale section. they usually want a ladder type frame on it, giving it a more "scale" look to it. |
