Default Droop Wheely King Tuber
Well I sat around all day and decided to draw a chassis for my comp wheely king i'm building.
It is based off another chassis. I got the main section bent and went to braze it but I was out of mapp gas.
So I need to get more mapp tomorrow.

looks sweet! I too was wondering about internal springs. RCP should sell the hustler springs by themselves for the lazy ones of us that don't alot of trial and error.

That would be giving their secrets out. So I don't think they will.
