Hello All:
I just wanted to add to this thread, my TLT. I just got it about a month ago, and it didn't take long for it to be taken apart again and rebuilt hahaha. Since the kit and accessories already set me back ~200 bucks, buying hop-ups such as tobee craft was not an option. So, a visit to the local hobby shops and $20 later I have a nice TLT with longer wheelbase. This is just phase 1, next up wheels and tires, any suggestions? (Thanks)
Also, I locked the center diff without drilling or glue, in the even that I decide to unlock it, I just need to put the ball bearings back in . Needless to say, it takes off much better with the center diff locked.
I know you guys are a bunch of experts here, but feel free to ask, I'll be happy to share the details.

Yeah I decided to dump the cantilever. I like it much better. It still drives in a straight line, i don't get the wobbly-wobble problems that I read on some builds. It's rock solid

What's so great about cantis???? I mean, everyone has told you about the benefits of just shocks lol. I guess you still want it to be considered a tamiya unlike mine.
