I love rock crawling!

I have a Tamiya high-lift too, and just sold my tlt-1 axles on the bay.

High-lift has: (set up for pulling now)
Ford courier body
M2k's
55t motor
12 cells
evx
gd600 @ 3.8:1, 13 pinion, well over 100:1 FDR i think
Top speed: about 5mph @ WOT with 12 cells :005:

It does very well, i was actually surprised how well. With 12 cells in the front of the truck it has alot of grip. Over an hour of run time too with 3000's...

Pics, would crappy 640x480 camera phone pics do?

I had a tlt-1 with a torsion chassis (no links or shocks) that ran extremely well. (too easy to drive well, for me at least:005: ) Also got 45 min. run time with 1600mah 2/3a 10 cell pack.

Crappy pics are better than no pics. ;)

Tamiya used to make the ultra rare hi lift trucks with full metal parts and so on. That's their latest hi left truck. I hope they would release some aluminum hop ups for it.

You mean the bruiser?

There is also a company that is making aluminum axle cases and other parts too. Stock it has a steel chassis it you didn't know...

Since I finished my TXT project I've built a Tamiya High-Lift, the M-03 Mini Copper and now I'm working on a 2.2 Crawler out of TLT axles. I'm driving my wife a little nuts right now, because I've bought the Mini and TLT this month along with two Mamba Max 5700 setups, OUCH!







Here's some more pics if you'd like:

Very cool rc's. Looks really fun to just mess around with, lol.

I really like the realism of the hi-lift truck. Although, if it were mine, it would be a shelf queen I think.
