|  1.9 Rebuild Tuber.....
I picked this little chassis up off a member on here last week. Figured I would start a 1.9 for the new class. Stripped the paint and made aluminum panels and tranny plate for it to start off. Going with TLT axles locked of course. Novak 55-50 and a aluminum Axial tranny. This is where it's at on day 2 of the build. I'll have more up tomorrow....  |

| I thought so to! But I figured at the price it was selling for if I didn't like it no biggie! Thanks though Just mocking everything up right now, then off to the powder coater for some flat black |

I was going to start selling them but I didn't get much response off of them? I did the torch that you see and some air tanks......guess people didn't like it as much as I did? Anywho, here are a few more shots for the night....

Yea, I read that......after making the links! It's tough to get a wheelbase that short, at least harder than I thought! 8 1/2" is short! I'm remaking some as I type It has plenty of room to go back Almost done with the whole thing now. I wish my tuber for my LMC would get here already!

Almost done! Just have to get the steering done. I made some new links and got the wheelbase down to 8 3/4", that's all I can get it down to and keep it looking right? This chassis is great for a 1.9 and a little to small for 2.2. I'm pretty happy with it for what it is and I don't have a crap load of $ in it Here are a few updated picts for those that care |

Looks kind of cool now but that brass link/servo mount will last about 30 minutes. |

That brass mount is just a mock up piece I'm working on a aluminum mount for it that's a little different than that one Like I said, the steering is the only issue left |
