Arrow My Rubicon Buggy Project

Well' I guess this project started right after i sold my big truck, I wanted something different but it had to be a tlt and somewhat scale. So after thinking I said Tuber. Sent an email out to the tube master HULK and came up with this.

This thing also had to have some bling so rc4wd beadlocks did the trick, for tires had to go with moabs just for the look, and of course the pede tranny. As soon as i got it in the mail i started grinding and painting, got it all mocked up and then i guess i just kinda lost intrest in it, **** that sounds bad....Lost funds.. yeah that sounds better.

Anyways i got it mocked and in rolling form, now i just gotta finish the damn thing. It still needs alot, this truck was built for the orcrc scale class so i need to add those goodies like seat, steering wheel, dash.....and what ever details i can think of. And oh yeah get it running with full electronics.

Hopefully after posting this i will get motivated to finish it for the next comp.


Heres some pics so far.

Great looking truck, it makes me want to build a tuber. Although in one of the photo's it looked like you've mounted a phone on the back, until I did a double take ........ I guess I'm just tired!!!

It's easy...Stick your head in the grass and start chewing!


Those HULKWERKS tubers are just cool. How heavy is it? Built like a brick S**t house?
