Default tube chassis or frame chassis?

The tuber chassis look bad to the bone! But does it work any better?

Actually tube chassis are heavier (unless ya make em out of alum/delrin), which is a bad thing. They look kool though.

Depends on the Chassis. I have a couple of DmG tubers, most recently the ALT (for the Losi Comp Crawler). The top is just about 15g lighter than the stock body and posts. I would say it's personal preference. I simply like the look of the tubed frames better.
