I am interested in buying a tlt-1. I have never tried rc rock crawiling before, but it looks extremely cool. Could i make a decent rock crawler with that little of a car. I have heard alot of people say it is too close to the ground. I wouldn't want to do to much of my own improvising with the chassis. Are there parts available to do this.

Also if anyone has pics of a tlt-1 crawler that would be nice.

Thanks alot.

heres mine, but its been bettered and changed a bit since this so ill post you some new pics later, its easy to build on from a tlt-1, but a stock tlt-1 even if equiped with 2.2 wheels wont be a capable machine, all the diffs need to be locked, and yeah stock they sit low, also have less than spectacular articulation in stock form, if you use t-maxx turnbuckles to link it then it streches it out, also putting a stampede trans in it and using traxxas slider shafts for the driveshafts is a good idea, crawling is all about building and modding on your rig to get what you want from it, also mine is fast for a crawler topping out at just over walking speed, about 5-8mph id say, mine is pretty in depth build though, narrowed wheels and modded tlt chassis, stuff like that, anyway here are the pics, since these i lowered it a bit, lowered the battery a bit(its between the plates now), and now has moab 2.2s on it instead of the dirtworks.

That is pretty much exactly what i want, really good articulation. Awesome tlt-1. I just dont know that much about doing my own modding. Thanks for the info. I would still like to see other tlts.

ok, check out www.rccrawler.com they have a conversion article, ill also PM you as I offer to build tlt crawlers for ppl...

well, this is what mines turned out after almost $500 just on upgrades. main thing is get yer self the Pede tranny. this tlt has great articulation over the stock tlt chassis... definately check out rccrawler for Q & A, especially if ur a newbie like myself. Rock crawling is very addicting. Can't stop myself. Currently looking into a clod or a tubuler design for the TLT

good luck!

yes the tlt is amazeing, here are somepics of mine and some other guys mine is the green jeep body..

zumzum5150 did you fabricate that chassis, i was wondering how you would mount a pede tranny, does it just screw right on there, thanks for the help and pictures guys.

thats looks to be an aftermarket chassis, i forget the name though, but yeah pede trans is what its intended for, but honestly it took all of about 15 minutes to put my pede trans in the stock chassis...

Hi

That is an RBX chassis. did some add ons for better positioning of my shocks. I would recommend the BENDER chassis or checkout Tubewerks.com. The Bender chassis is designed for multiple positioning of the links and shocks. just my $0.02 since I alredy have the RBX...Again check out the Vendor secton of RCCrawler.... Benders got vids as well as RBX.
