| Tuber FOFR crawler
Well I finally decided to post up the tuber I am building. I wanted a multi purpose vehicle, (crawler, basher, mud, sand, climber) but I am pretty tired of independant suspension rcs, so I decided to get some Axial axles and started brazing away. Though this isnt supposed to be a copy of any vehicle, it has some features from the Avalanche Engineering Sniper, I always liked those buggies. Well what I have so far is Axial Axles, Emaxx Trans (will be wide 2 speed) Savage shocks. Have started working on the chassis mounted steering thanks to Hand Bros axle bracket. Was planning on this running a brushless probably MM system on 3s, but atm I am planning a new scaler build as this one lost most of the interior space due to the maxx trans:-(. Anyway here are the pics. |

I am hoping to have it set up sitting low. I have the rear shock installed but the current setup on them is not good, I think I will need to put droop springs in them and get a lot softer springs. I'm gonna be using some old HPI MT shocks in the front, but havent really thought out the mounts yet.

im not telling u how to braze,but if you get that brake line tubing without that coating,it will save you alot of time stripping it off later.Ive built some tube frames and i stay away from that .just my 2cents

| Hehe yea, I hate that coating. I need to order it in bulk, because all the parts stores around me only stock the coated stuff. Luckily I am out of brake line so im gonna check into some other sources, I'm gonna see if I can find some hydraulic DOM tubing I've seen a couple people use, it bends better and looks a lot smoother.
