TLT help...
Ive checked the official tlt thread but couldn t find the anwsers so i ll ask here. first, tg 10 axles, will hpi , rpm, and proline wheels fit with these? are these axles a must? if these rims will fit stock thats great, im not real worried about 1/2 inch extra width, but just want the rims to fit. next one, sorry . Integy 55t lathe motor, will it work with stock belt drive, and will it work with a novak xrs speed control? one more, can i use a 3 cell lipo with the integy and novak? ok i lie i have a couple more, where do i get the axles if i need them and the lathe motor? im not going into competitions but is the stock drive belt ok for back yard crawling? i want the most amount of fun without breaking the bank.

First, I'm not familiar w/ the axles your referring to. The stock axles work fine.
Most 2.2 wheels w/ a 12mm hex will work.
Yes the 55t lathe motor will work w/ the stock tranny for a while. (the belt drive system is the weak link in the drive train and is better replaced w/ another tranny. Pede, Stealth, Losi, Evader, ect...)
An XRS ESC will work as long as you only use front wheel steering and not 4WS as it's BEC numbers are not high enough to power 2 servos on it's own. If you want to run an XRS ESC and have 4WS, you need to use a Novak Nitro Regulator w/ it.
I wouldn't use the lipo as it has WAY to much power for the drive train and I don't think the XRS is rated for that either.
You can get replacement axles from Tower Hobbies.
Lock the front, rear and center diff, use a 7.2 volt battery, and go easy on the tranny in tough spots and it should do OK for some backyard crawling.
