That looks pretty cool, how do you like the servo mount up front?

I have never tried putting it behind the axle, but may try it in the future. I think it may give more clearance, just have not tried it yet.

I tried a design like that one time, and the back end wanted to crawl up to the the front end when it was bound up. When it got loose it would unload, and flip over. Your material looks more ridged than the what I used. Some side plates may stablize it if does.

Fish, This stuff is fairly rigid, very little flex. I had thought it might move a little and it may but not so you can tell. Thats the reason for only 12" wheel base, was afraid it may flatten out a little. No changes yet. In order to be really competive it needs dig. I have not done that yet, maybe something soon.

The tuber or the new frame?

JIA's Dad · 04-19-2007, 09:42 AM

Fish, The tuber- It was made for a clod and I wanted to try it as a 2.2. JIA had told me I was waisting my time. But I wanted to build it. Anyway the new build is much better, but had a hard time following clod based 2.2 rigs down at FOTO last Sunday, at the get-together we had. I still need to install a dig setup to compete with clods. Still flipping backwards when approaching steep inclines. Rear axle torquing it over. So far the plastic is not moving enough to get any complaints. Wheel base is still right where it started at 12". With dig and driving lessons I may soon be a serious competitor.
