|  My first TLT chassis
Finally completed my TLT crawler. Chassis was designed and made by me on my kitchen counter using a jeweler's saw and files. Took it out for a bit the other night, so it doesn't look so clean any more.  Specs: 65 turn lathe motor locked Stampede transmission JB welded TLT axles Maxx sliders Spektrum receiver XRS speed control Axial 2.2 beadlocks Masher 2000 6-cell 3900 NiMh On with the pics:     |

Nice handwork, that chassis looks sweet. Are those Jato shocks? |

I appreciate the compliments! They are Revo shocks with Jato springs. The springs are slightly shorter than Revo springs so there is a little bit of droop going on.

I can't even cut straight lines that nice. Amazing work on that chassis.

Thanks! I find that my spur gear is a little loose and does not run true all the time. So, sometimes the gear hits the set screw on the pinion and chews the spur gear up a little. On my list of things to get is a set on axle extenders, but being in Canada it makes it a little more work to get them with our lovely customs system.

NIce work. I cant even draw lines on paper that good. I think something needs to be done with the pack. Probably is fine there but it just looks so buly I guess.
