Default WE Rock inspired tuber
While I was at the Axial west coast Championships I took a picture of a rig that inspired me to build the tuber I have been wanting to build for a year. one thing I noticed was that the tubing is much thiner than what I have been using on my other rigs.

I want to use either WK axels or Axial axels. Sence the Axials axels are out yet I will start the project with the WK axels. I am not too fond of the WK trans so I am going to use a stampede trans possably.

Hear is my start.

Randy looks like a good start. Fast too!! The rig actually does look different because of the dimensional changes you made to the tubing, so you won't have to worry about it looking like SicJs rig.

Looking forward to running with you at one of the comps.

Sam I can not wait to have you show up to some of the meets, Nopt that I make many my self. I realy enjoyed seeing you at WE Rock.

I sorta matched the axels up to the chassis this after noon. gona have to make my own linksI alsl turned the link mounts to the rear and will have to make mounts for the shocks. The shocks are so long I think it is time to do a little droop front and rear.

Make it a whole lot shorter, that way the proportions are good.
Looks great man. That'll be a fun rig.

I was expecting the tuber then BAM. Lol what a pleasant suprise. It is looking good. I agree with Mlow on the wheelbase. It would look better but not preform as well probably. I myself think that the look would win lol. Maybe a couple sets of links lol. One just for taking pics.
