Default Can we have a Custom Super tube chassis thread ?

With so many Custom Supers and Tube chassis getting so popular can we have a
" Custom Super Tuber chassis " thread
builds see to be all over the different catogories and the " Large scale " thread is not Super size rigs in the 17-19" wheel base

It would be benifeficial to the Super crowd if we had a home to share the new generation of tube chassis Supers
:smile:

Thank you

A tuber section is not a half bad idea IMO.

It definetly will help grow the Site and have a place for Tubers and custom builds.
these days we are building crawlers with all different parts, not just TLT or maxx , whatever

Just Do It !

It sounds like a good idea. It could be broken down into two areas (2.2 and super) just like the nylint forum is now.

OK RCC, you heard it doesn't make sense

I mean you have All the sections like , TLT, clod , Nylint, maxx , 2.2, scale, and so on

and there is No Super section





Super Crawlers,

Can we get seprate sub-forums for people who change out their Axial links from the stock Green?

I am having a hard time picking through all the Axial builds that use the stock green to find custom colors.

I know the platform is still Axial, but the tech is completely different for custom link tube colors.

I shouldn't have to search the Axial forum for Axials that have custom link tubes.

Think about it.
What axles will your tuber have?

The site is seperated by the Axles. If you think this way then we should have a Bull chassis section, a SW3 and 2 section, and the list goes on and on.
I think it's fine how it is.
If I need to find a tuber I'll just do a search.More than likly if I need to find a super tuber I'll search in the Clod, TXT or Maxx section.

Supers are dying, no need for a dying rig forum.

WARCRC as a whole has seen an increase in supers. He is just jumping on the local band wagon.

I dont' think grizzly has anything against supers. The forum is just seperated by axles, except for scalers. Please see my post above

Unholy,
I can see your dilemma. You want to be different for the run of the mill crowd. You could easily send out the Aluminum links have them striped and reanodized in a color of your choosing. I will say that personally, I do like the hydrogen flash green myself.

In addition, I would say that the Axial marketing department did a great job in targeting a select group here (rccrawler) and in the crawling community worldwide. You could very well see different colored links offered by them to fill your need. The hottest thread in the AX-10 Scorpion forum #1 sticky and probably indorsed by Axial themselves. (see post # 23 & 27) If you have any questions. I would direct them to that sig. holder.

What I can see coming. Is an onslaught of tube based chassis'. From none other than forum venders:

RCPCrawlers,:
Special Edition Super Class Hustlers **$179.99** Losi Tire Give-A-Way *RCP Crawlers*
2.2 Hustlers Now Available Online **RCP Crawlers**
Super Class Hustler Waiting List ***Post up Here***
New 2.2 Comp Tuber **Coming Soon** RCP Crawlers Prototype PICS

& RPP Hobby:
DHOFFROAD #2 Tube Chassis Built & Ready To Rock & Not Roll :)
DHOFFROAD Tubers By Rpp Hobby COMING SOON!

From an outsiders stand point:
In the annual 2007 edition RC Monster Trucks Mag. By the publishers of Radio Control Car action. An article entitled "The Unstoppable 4x4s" by Paul Onorato (senior editor) & Jason Sams (editor) I quote the first line of the article, "Rock Crawling has become one of the most popular segments of RC." These two gentlemen, then built up custom rides and spared no cost in doing it. One word here, Hot! These were not kits, these were customs.

I seem to recall in searching and reading that even Bender Customs might offer up a super configuration. I have only begun to read the thousands of posts to sort out the customs from the kits. I have the time and the patients to do it, others may not.

I'll leave you with just one more thought. In the markets, the trend is your friend.

Leigh

well, the hustler that was tested by them was not built by either of them. and as far as 'spared no cost in doing it.' goes, i can pretty much guarantee that parts were floated their way. not complaining, just stating some facts.

You want tubers, try "tuber" in the search field in the forums with axles used in super class rigs.
How many divisions do we need to classify trucks?
Quit being so lazy and do a little searching.
