|  InFlames' cliff climber comp build
Well my turn for a build. It started out stock like any other...  Still working on the chassis part right now... Dont really have a plan for electronics yet, still waiting for sweli and spartacus_nuc to see what they can come up with motor wise... Here is a picture of the jig i made for the WB i want, looking for 11.5 with stock links and later ill make custom links to achieve a 12.5 WB.  You can look in the right side of the picture for a peek at what i have planned for the chassis.  |

I'll be keeping an eye on this. A tuber would be cool.

Hmm...  I will be working on some link and shock mounts later. For the shocks i want something around 3 1/2 inches (1/2 inch longer than stock), probably just try and find something cheap on here. I want everyone to know this thing may never see a comp, but in the case i want too, i want this to be ready for it. If anyone is interested in a tuber for their CC, let me know, i might be building a few. ;) Last edited by InFlames; 04-02-2009 at 12:27 PM. Reason: typo |

That is an AWESOME tube chassis - one of the nicest I've seen! They're practically giving away the ARTRs now - $60?! Didn't they start out at around $140? |

Thanks! Yes the tuber was built from scratch. It is modeled after another tuber i have, this one is just a tad smaller. As for pricing im not to sure yet, depends on how many people want one. Im thinking about starting them at $65. I also dont know if i will keep this design, or make different ones. If anyone is seriously interested in a tuber, let me know and we'll work something out.

Man can't get over how sweet that looks. With that tuber and the right motors it would make a good comp rig. I think I might be interested in a tuber set up.

ummm, you might want to chill on the selling of the chassis without purchasing a blue star. The mod-gods will be displeased.... Cool chassis, though, and posting pics of a finished unit 24hrs. after showing pics of a drawing and some tube? You're either real, REAL fast of you already had that chassis mostly finished... From the "rules of RcCrawler page" Vendors: In order to sell your goods on this site you must become a supporting vendor. RCC will not allow anyone without a vendor star to create "feeler" threads to gauge interest on the product you are thinking about selling. Feeler threads will be deleted without notice. If you continue to create them you will be warned or given an infraction, then banned, not necessarily in that order. Please try to support the RCC vendors whenever you can as they are doing the hobby a great service to bring you the best crawler specific parts available. There are lots of vendors in the Vendors Market section, search around in there. Last edited by JavelinSST390; 04-02-2009 at 09:15 PM. |

Not bad, just use black zippies ;) No need for zips for the MIDDLE of the side panel? it would be good if both side panels + bottom panel are a one bent piece + no zip ties on the bottom ;) (you can get stuck on them)
