Default TLT Crawler or Trophy?

Ok, Heres my J2-TT/Tuber with pede tranny, tlt axles, losi shocks, rc4wd beadlocks, moabs. Had it out on the counter yesterday and decided to try this out, what ya all think? I kinda like the idea of being able to switch between a tuber and a body....

Thanks for all the comments, No I cant make the comp. this weekend (I'm on call at work):-( As for performance, I've only ran it a couple times on some fair to mild stuff but it did really well...

My thinking when I decided to do this was that I would never have to worry about a cracked or busted weld shutting me down! Plus I really liked the looks of tubers, but I could also throw a body on it if I got bored....

Looks good. But, if you're planning to run comps, it will be considered a tube body since it is not a tube frame/chassis. It will need to meet the minimum body requirements.

I asked that same question a while back and the reply I got from 4stAir was this...

I think we are still working on a minimum width for tube bodies.
