Is it possible to convert a TL-01 to be a Rock Crawler i am thinking of doing this with one of my OLD cars just as a lark to see if it is possible to do, and what would be needed to change the ride height to allow such and gears needed and tires and rims if any have such ideas please let me know

thanks

does it have solid axles? you probably could, but it will take quite a bit of fabbing...

the TL-01 is a 4wd from tamiya that is mainly a on road car i remember a while back there was a OFF-road version of the car and i can't remember what it was called i saw it in a review in a magazine but i was just browsing in the book store, so i can't even remember what mag it was i think that the most that would be needed is to lengthen the suspension arms and dog bones from the diff's and change the tires /rims it is a tub/tube chassis that would handle the stress but the articulation would be limited i have a kyosho pathfinder that might fit the bill and will look in to moding that but i would like to try to convert the TL-01 to Offroad

lengthen the suspension arms and dogbones.. then go from there.. it would probably make a cool little trials rig

If you're interested, I have a long-arm setup for the TL-01. I have the arms, camber links, uprights, suspension pins, axles, dogbones, friction dampers, oil shocks, steering linkages, servo saver. I used them to make my TL-01 into a truck for a while, but someone bought it as a car & I kept all of the long-arm stuff. I wasn't making a crawler out of it, but I did use 2.2" truck wheels with Masher 2000 tires & long body posts for a truck body. I don't have a TL-01 anymore, so let me know if you're interested in buying/trading for it. I think I still have a set of uncut body posts too, if you need those as well.

I'm not sure on the gearing, but use the smallest pinion that will fit & at least lock the rear diff if not both.

ya it would have to be more trials

i dont think you could fit like a gd-600 gear reduction in there !!!!
but if you could then with the parts listed and a locked up diff it would be pretty good
