Here is my TL01 based racing semi. This truck is built on the Tamiya TL01 AWD chassis and is running a 26 turn Cobalt racing motor and 11.1 Lipo to say this truck is a hand full is a under statement.. There is some video footage of it doing some high speed roll overs some where.

Paint job must not look that good if you have rolled it a few times:rolleyes:. I seem to remember this build from the Garden.

Thanks Donny the colors are my uncles farm truck colors they have there semis painted in. My plan was to do most of my semis in these colors but there are too many cool colors out there to do.

Lynn really not much damage has been done I cracked one front fender but was able to glue it with out realy being able to see it and the stacks make a perfect roll bars so the top of the grill gets some little marks on it but I put a little clear tape on it to keep that from happening when I drive it.

Yep she really gets but as for the video I am not sure it is on one of the older Indy vids but I have never seen them.

LOL I might have to make some vid of it myself. I like to drift in the garage with it as when I get it out on the street at speed the thing get really harry I put oil filled shocks on it and that helped they use to make sway bars for this car but I have not been able to find them it could really use them bad.

Hey Paul, sway bars aren't hard to build. Piano wire and airplane parts.
Cheers, Neil.
