New to Crawlers

[dvinesquirrel]

I just got a TLT based crawler off of ebay. i don't know too much about them. i just knew that i couldnt stand watching all the videos on youtube and not own one.
all i know about it is that it has TLT axles. a tazer esc, and an integy 52 turn motor.
shame there are no rocks here in south jersey

I love crawling, it's a nice change sometimes. Nice rig you have there.

Houston is the same way... no natural rock.

I made a small rock garden in the backyard.

I wanna play too!!

 

[dvinesquirrel]

those are both very nice trucks.
i'm already looking at what i want to change with this little guy. the transmission looks like its from a toys r' us special. and the drive shafts are something homemade that were brazed off center so they wobble.
it almost seems like i am trying to find a reason to spend more money on this hobby each week

Yup stealth tranny. GC-1 chassis with upper link plate/servo mount. New style max shocks. That is what I saw off the top of my head. Check out www.rccrawler.com for all your crawling needs. heh heh

Not bad should work pretty well. May have torque twist to deal with though. If you go to the site I posted and check it out you will learn alot more.
