|  Pre-Made Tuber Who has the best pre-made tuber design? I'm thinking of going this route instead of a frame/body for my WK. I don't want one of those itsy bitsy tiny ones but a fairly good size where I can still all of the running gear inside the tuber. |

well honestly I hav'nt looked at a WK so I don't know how diffrent the axles are. but with that being said check out the tuber that I've worked on for RPP Hobby. with the disign of it you can mount things in a number of diff. places. if it helps any the "frame" portion of the chassis is 3" to the outside of the "rails" and 2 1/2" to the inside. here is a link to it DH1 tuber DH Offroad DH1 Tuber Ready for Sale Limited Supply |

Check out TCS's Gopher. It works very well.

You should be able to use any axle with any chassis, WK or not. If you are building a tuber truck, you should be able to fab a little. Myself, I am not impresed with cookie-cutter tubers.

The Rpp tuber looks very good and comes with links, link mounts and aluminum body panels. Corey has done a good job  |
