| finally-hpi build for real
new tuber! well i got my nitro mt axles finnished so im starting a rig to place them under. the tuber is just something of the top of my head so don't bash it to bad. its pretty generic. the plan it to run my aluminum nitro mt axles with maxx shocks or maybe savage aluminum ones, all-t's mounted on something shiney, and topped of with the brightest lime green dub j can get it. thanks.

looks pretty good, that down swoop 'door' hoop thingy looks a little too big though.

well i got the tube work pretty much finished and pictures with axles mounted and all will be up this week. i dont really think i can afford this build right know so i will prolly put the rig up for sale once i get it all brazed up. the truck will be ready to finish with blank tranny plate that can be drilled for any tranny.

the main structure is brazed but my mapp gas torch is not with me at the moment. i will finish it this weekend and then im deffinitly getting rid of it because i won't have time or money for it with the way this semester is going. if anyone is interested it is still in the stages in which it can be altered. i will post this in the for sale forum on monday so if no one speaks up its getting built as is. thanks

What are the dimensions of your axle from hex to hex? I was thinking of doing the same thing but now making my own axle housings. Just locking out the independent suspension from the MT like they do on the maxx axles but that puts me hex to hex at 9.75"
