Default Another TLT Torsion truck

These pics suck, but I didn't feel like cleaning up the bench for pictures, so they'll have to suffice.

1/4" delrin plates, 1/8" steel rod, steel collars from McMaster.



Compared with my scaler


I used to have an older TLT that used twin vertical plates, it was very outdated.

I'll have better(outdoor) pictures soon.

Thanks for the comment. No flex shots.

Threw on a set of mashers onto double narrowed pede fronts. Love how this looks.

Just a suggestion, if you take some of the length out of the transmission plate, you'll improve your flex.

Happy trails,


Jeff

Can you pm, email me the specs on that reign chassis? I would like to build one. I would just need length, height, width, and link hole placement? thanks very much if you do this for me.

Are you going to use your dig for this build?

Yeah I noticed this after competing against a real BMVii. It had more flex. Going to take it to a bandsaw either tomorrow or sometime this week.

Wheelbase? 12.5" it was built primarily as a comp crawler.

This will get a dig once I have the time and money.

Thanks for the comments guys.
