Hmmm...the start...
So, I have had this old TCS Gopher chassis laying around for a few years, and since switching the comp rig over to Axial axles, I have this fairly bullet proof set of tlt's laying on the shelf....hmmm, what to do?!
ROCK RACER!! I'll start posting pictures as I build it. Ingredients: 1 TCS Gopher Chassis w/RED powdercoat 1 pair built tlt axles w/MIP CVDS, Fat Rocks C's and RCP rear lockouts 1 Summit 2-speed tranny 1 Mamba Max 1 Mag Mayem Motor (22T i think) 1 HS-7980TH 1 HS-?? I'll figure out what to use for the shifter later...servo's? ya, I got some...  wheels/Tires? Not sure yet have a few choices. Probably grooved flat irons on VP's. Traxxas Big Bores 70/30 droop/sprung w/40wt oil to start. Radio? duh, hitech. Custom links and revo rod ends. MIP Drive shafts ....more when I figure out what I am missing!!

go with 1.9s for sure. the 2.2s on my TLT racer killed those axles, the only parts that didnt break were the CVDs and rear straight adapters. and i was running 27 and 19 turn motors.

Were you running wheel weights on the 2.2 version?

very little, mayhem wicked Js with maybe 2-3oz front and nothing rear. it was a combination of weight and diameter. i broke aluminum Cs, aluminum knuckles, bearings, pins, diffs and housings. but the MIPS held up great!

Figured it was time for an update.
Wound up going with a straight pede tranny I had laying around, 86t spur, 16t pinion at the moment on a 27t trinity handwound. On a 2S it's fast, and wheelies and endo's at will. On 3S, it's stupid, and I am gonna break something in a hurry. Wheels are temporary, gonna put a lighter setup with 1.9's here soon, probably rockloks or flatirons on proline titus beadlocks. Pics:

Oh, and the best part about this rig, it was made from scraps. I won the chassis in a raffle, and I didn't have to spend a penny more to make this. I love having crap "donated"!! lol
