I know what you mean.i chopped my txt chassis to get some more GC after i saw dirks slyther II even though it was a clod i thought it would be possible to get close to the same features,but i was wrong! it had a bad case of torq roll,i cut off the good link mounting spots and there was no real spot to mount them.so my txt sat for about 6 months untill i saw this thread it really got me going on my txt agian,although i took alittle diffrent aproach this time im going for a low long crawler.

any way your truck still looks great.

Here are body off shots as requested. Like I said, I'm not happy with it so it'll be changing soon. ;)

I can't believe the GD 600 is clocked, and the motor is STILL that high up there!

How about turn the tranny on it's side. The good side, that'll lay it flat.

You might try to lower it about an inch. Then use some high clearance lowers with a carrier bearing drive shafts?

And it looks like you could lower the tranny about an inch, just how it is. Or lay it on its side like Eeepee said.

Or upside down, like TXTFun (I think).

Maybe some wideners and smaller diamiter tires?

The TXT is getting totally rebuilt from the ground up. I got 'er stripped down, nothing left but a pair of axles. I doubt I use the stock tranny. Gears, maybe, but not the case. I'd like to try a AE or Losi tranny.
EDIT: Just won a AE T3 Stealth transmission off Epay. ;) The Stealth is fairly durable. I only stripped one gear in all my years of racing Associated trucks and buggies with low turn modifieds. Not sure if I can fit the GD600 on it...... if not a planetary gear reduction will work.

I'll post up more pictures when I decide which direction I'm going with the truck. The shafty with 'stick' clearance idea didn't work out. :-(
