TLT Size Slightly Scale Crawler - SOLD
Well I fancied something other than a touring car / buggy and have been admiring some amazing crawlers for quite a while. Got most of the bits for Xmas. Thanks very much to Mr_Pushrod for the TLT Axles and Stampede 'Tranny. A very big thanks also go to Twinset, who helped me quite a bit whilst making it. I also got a pair of his luurvely servo/link mount plates, thanks v.much Andy! Got most of the other parts from thecrawlerstore who are great - good prices and fast delivery. Did get hit for £20 import tax, but nothing they nor I could do about that.
Anyway - I've done a whole build up thread in the forums, see this link: http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=40030
I won't repeat everything I've said in there but I'll just mention the main parts:
• MFM Racing Scale Chassis
• TLT Locked Axles
• Stampede Gearbox - Locked
• 2.2' Proline Moab Tyres
• RPM Revolver Narrow Wheels
• Hitec 645MG Hi-torque servo
• Graupner Speed 600 Motor
• Traxxas Slider Shafts (1 is extended)
• Proline Chevy C10 Body
• Traxxas Big Bore Shocks (£10 inc P+P off eBay for 4 brand new ones!!)
• Twinset's Servo / Link mount plates
• And about 742 nuts and bolts.
I painted the body up in Green, it came out a bit lighter than I was hoping but it's not a big deal. Painted the rear bed, front bumper and front left wing black.
I've given it a run and am very pleased with the way it performs. Suspension's very supple and there's a lorra flex (as the pics show) and it will go over pretty much everything.
Enjoy the pics and comment if you so desire!

Nice piece of work. What's the thinking behind the canted over rear axle ?

I do like to see crawlers that look like real trucks - glad you went for sober colours on this too - well done dude!
