  Hey Trackmaster what did you have to do to make the pics work?

  Jamie you won’t regret a TL01B… sure they’re not a full on offroader but they’re very very driveable and a lot of fun.
  
  The TL01 chassis runs nice with bearings and with some decent shocks it will handle much better. Friction shocks just aren’t good enough once you get into driving it.
  
  I still haven’t cleaned mine out… but will have to soon!

  Avoid hot motors though 😉

  ahhh yeah – gotta agree, the chassis doesn’t give much cooling to the motor so they run very very hot.
  
  There are aftermarket heatsinks to attmpt to reduce it, but in reality you just can’t reliably run lower turn motors…
  
  Nice 20 turn or so though could be pretty sweet 😉

  I have a beach on a lake near my house, running there with a nitro is a lot of fun. Then you go home and clean out the secondary air filter. Not fun.
  
  Nice pics Aaron! Glad you’re allowed to post big pics here, you can actually see details…
