Talking tlt comp crawler!

No money! then build with what you have!

TlT axles
pede tranny
45 lathe!
moabs on hpi rims that have been cut!
4 inch shocks!

i dont know if im going to droop or not! i will find out as i get it into a roller form!

i could not find the money to buy a comp chassis! so i built one like the two i liked!

the black jack from sin city and the sw2!
using the stock tlt chassis

Thanks and i thought of that do you think it will work!? the front has 4 inch shocks but only about a half inch of travel !

Edit 5 42***** well that did not help either i moved the links on the axle to the outside of the mount and the rear is almost gone but the front needs some work now! its down to a minimum so, i dont think it will hurt me to much!

Always cool to see some home built chassis. But what happened to the BMVII?
