New Tlt Project

[Jchung]

So here it is...a Mini Monster Replica I got from John Boyer. This is just the beginning, I would say it's about 20% done. But since I am starting my studies on Thursday, this will have to wait until my finals are over (Christmas holidays).

It needed a little modification to the parts on the TLT, but very easy to do. Another AWESOME tuber from John. B)

Please post some more pics when it done. Action shots will be cool too.

nice
John makes some sweet stuff

What do you guys think I should do with the shock setup? I have the choice of using stand up shocks, but the room is very limited, so I will have to turn down the stock TLT shocks for it to fit. Or I could stay with the stock cants. Any suggestions?

 

[william g]

I like stand ups
but if you can't squeeze them in and cants are the only way... go for it.

 

[Jchung]

I am going to try to squeeze some time out of my weekend to set it up with cants for now. When I find some right shocks for the stand up configuration, I will change it.

 

[4wdmt]

go for cants. they look great.

Wicked! I was gonna buy that boyer tube, just couldn't scrape out the funds.. Real nice! He makes great stuff.

 

[Jchung]

Thanks! At the moment, I am still hesistant to put the shocks together yet because I really want to get them turned down on a lathe first.

Hows the project coming along? I'm watching this one because that tuber is sweet :kudo

I've been really busy from school already, so I doubt you will see anymore updates until Christmas. My schedule changed again as of next Monday. Now I go to school from 9am-9pm on Wednesdays and 9am-6pm on the rest of the days. That's the time it starts, transportation takes another 1.5 hours, so I get up at around 6:30 in the morning everyday. So I really don't have the energy and time to build RC's anymore

What a looooooooooooooooooooooong week

 

[Jchung]

Weird, just when I said there will be no more updates until Xmas, here's a tiny update. I just got a custom battery pack built for this TLT today. They are,

Pole Position 3700mah GP Team Matched packs 440+sec 1.18v 6 cell unassembled

Hello all! My first semester is almost over. Just one more week followed by 3 week of exams. But I should have a package of alloy goodies coming in the next week (hopefully) along with my new K2-3S chassis I ordered last week. I have a small question though, what size of these metal rod ends from RC4WD would fit the TLT. I am thinking maybe I will go with some custom links too, but I want to keep it at stock wheelbase.

Thanks!

[EDIT] Another question, how would the RC4WD 2.2 Beadlocks work with the racing tires from Proline or HPI? Like these Dirt Bonez from HPI.

:rcmtrocks

:blink How did I manage to miss this little gem? Sweet little rig!

Im pretty sure the rc4wd beadlocks would work with those tires just fine.

Just received some alloy goods from a friend in Hong Kong. GPM alloy 40% off! =D

There's some for the Kyosho HOR and TLT.

 

[William]

that servo mount looks real nice

 

[Jchung]

I am still deciding between the junfac bumpers or the GPM ones. I would get a pair of those RC4WD alloy housings if I had some extra cash.

Btw, is it just me or is there no emoticons?

 

[William]

:wnk you never adjusted your control panel, try now :tong

 

[Jchung]

Thanks Will, I see them now, but I can't click on them! None of the functions like bold, italic, or underline work too!

you should, I just ran a test account (rcmt, it's a regular member) and it can

I don't know why you wouldn't your set to wysiwyg maybe set reply to Standard Editor Toolbar ?

Either that or your #3 out of 500 for an account that didn't transfer well and is corupted when we went from invision to vbulletin. If that is the case we can start you a new account and delete the current. Then reset the new to old settings. Just register again under like "jchung007" and I can change the username after you think it's working correcectly and setup.
