Wow, the only thing TLT about that is the axle housings. Very nice work.
Why so many batteries? Are you going to wire them in parallel for more runtime?
How did you make the axles?

A 2/3AAA battery?

Always the inventive type. Looks nice Christian.





I still have the gears.

Is that all I need to get a longer run time out of my tlt based 2.2 ?

Ill run 2 2/3rds packs.

I think it will help me with my weight bias also.

your rig is amazing
the only crtique is wiring from all the batterys could be cleaned up

i like how you fully thought out the
axle c
bta servo setup and shock mounts
and the motor gear reduction setup

how much does your rig way all together?
ready to run..


how is it setup to go to the rear axle?
to go from the front axle to the rear
something like a carrier bearing ?
or something with a dig setup?

what about gearing. you can't change it without buying a different gear head, can you? what are your thoughts on this issue?
