hey, i spent most of this week at the coast, which gave me plenty of time to play with my Crawler "thumbsup",

the rig is performing really well, but after watching some Top truck challenge videos i really want to get give my rig either a tuber chassis or some sort of tuber body that will bolt onto my twin vertical plate chassis or new tuber chassis,

ive wanted to do this for ages, Anyone got any photos of there rigs with (homemade) tuber type cage's/chassis, i really want to build one myself as i have welding and brazing equipment and good engineering knowledge

my rig is a 1/10th scale 2.2, it's a maverick scout built by Hpi racing (bit more poppular in Uk
 
here is my photo album has over 1900 photos of stuff.
good spot to just look over the stuff I've done or have pic's of full size rigs that I have gotten ideas from

Thanks 'spyderwebcustoms' it's pictures that i need to get my ideas rolling, ive looked through build threads of tuber's but i want to do a simple but realistic comp looking tuber, but im defanatly looking through your photos "thumbsup"
 
not a problam. inclosed some pics so it would be easier for ya to find something you like, and when you do find something you like a
let me know what you find kinda like to see what you come up with. photobucket might take some time to go threw but some good pics in there for sure
 
Had a play last night and today with a tuber, theres loads to do on it as i still havnt put shock mounts/link mounts or any of that on it yet, It was basiclly just to see what i could make on my laptop

I admire anyone who has the ability to work small tube like that intoa realistic shape. Some times you just gotta go for it and give it a try, I know it's not for me (cuz I really just don't want to do it) but we all have our talents. Tube work on this scale in NOT it for me."thumbsup"
