Droop Tlt Crawler

[TWINSET]

First free weekend for ages, had a TLT to do

First off, strip the axles down, and fit some beefy shafts from TCS.

Started at 9:27 this morning

Trussed rear axle

TCS Clocked Cs - allow for better UK angle by rotating axles but keeping knuckle angle

Wheelbase Jig, 12"

One of the most useful boxes in the toolkit

Link mount spacer tubes are from TLT - Part BC7, normally used as part of the mounting for the shocks

Clocked front end showing UJ angle again

RC4WD R2D Transmission - Integy 55t lathe motor and cheap Futaba servo.

Pinion must be set before mounting the servo plate, as it obscures the motor screws

Axle truss fitted and working

Rear lockouts

ESC Plate (receiver on R2D)

Battery placement - not the prettiest, but functional

Droop shocks

And finally...

Got out in the sun yesterday

Very cool, top work as usual.

Not too bad looking for an old man.

I like that you are going with a droop set up. The only thing you need to do now is brushless. Live in the now!!!!!!!!!

As always, great thread, very informative. Nice build - I agree time to get in the "now" add the goat brushless . You going to trademark that cobra chassis ?

I like what body you picked, and how you painted it up.

Nice build
