you probably won't find one for that cheap unless it's one of the tiny comp. units. You could build a simple one off of your existing chassis for under a 100$. I used 1/4 alum. tube from the lhs and alumaweld sticks from harbor frieght tools. Do a seach in the tools section.

I run an integy universal tube chassis, i'm satisfied with it and at under $40 new its a pretty good buy, the for sale section usualy has some better options to choose from, the TCS edge chassis looks like a fairl good buy and can be built to look VERY nice, I like the look of them.

If you like the look of a tuber I would suggest getting a bodyless chassis like UGC Fastback. These chassis will out perform any tuber on the market. Tubers are just too top heavy!

I just scored an RC Solutions Sting chassis.
Its very well built and has great style!
I dont compete, but it doesnt seem to add much weight.
I imagin it would do pretty well in competition. Its a bodiless chassis.
As far as cool factor goes, I give it a 10!
I will post some pics soon. Had to use the afro...

X2 on the Fastback or Frogger! I used to offer a tube comp chassis, but it was just too top heavy and couldn't make them cheap enough to sell well.


If you really want a metal tuber, I would suggest the Bastard Jr. or the Eclipse because they are the lightest ones available.

You should buy the D-mount too, I hear it's great. You also get a discount for the 4-link mount with purchase of a chassiss.
