Default Avalanche sniper?

Well, I'm learning a lot on my first tuber.I've improved quite a bit on it, yet I have found flaws that are going to require a whole bunch of reworking of the chassis. So I'm at a crossroads here. Start hacking into the one I have, or start on a new one. I like the idea of the sniper. Only problem is avalanche has about 4 pics of it on their site. None of which I can see enough of the chassis to build one similar. Anyone got any pics, or links to pics of the bare chassis? Otherwise it's time to lower the tranny in my current tuber, and reduce the ride heigth some. Or possibly build a new one somewhat like mine as I'm not sure I can change mine that much more. Thanks for any help!

I wanted to make a sniper chassis :P

But there's a pretty good write up on 4x4wire.com it's got pics too.

Od check out top truck challenge 2000, Steve competed in it.

You're a creative guy, Don't try to copy someone elses, be original :p

I wanna do a 4 seater tuber too... (But first I need that welder!)

Don't want to do an exact copy of it. Just like the way it is set up and wanted more pics for inspiration. Thanks for the pics Grizzly4x4, and for the kind words SR5Dave. I'm gonna start working on something this weekend.

Don't take too long, we gotta get an Ohio get-together together soon.

Good luck with the project!

No problem 94XJ,

Here are some pics I had on my computer at home. Caint wait to see the finished product.
I am a big fan of the Sniper too. Steve and I went to college together and were good friends and still talk occasionally.
