|  BrandO built comp tuber, Prototype #1 I have been wanting to build a comp style tuber for a while now. I was inspired by some of the rigs built by Gimbal, RCP, and Kamakazi. I drew something up a few months back. But just didn't have the time and the drawings sat on my desk. Well I finally had some free time so here it is. Wheely king axles Stock wheely king upper link. RC4wd R2 tranny HH Crawlmaster motor Mamba Maxx esc maxx drive shafts Full droop Losi shocks 8 cell crawler store battery Tube and fab work by me.       I already figured some of the things I will do different on the next one. And after some testing I might learn something. But so far I am liking the way it turned out. Next weekend is our next comp here in NC. So that will be the true test. Trial by fire for sure. |

| Looks good man. I like the servo mounted facing the back, less chance of linkage getting hung up on stuff  |

| Nice work, I love how clean it is. You can't beat the looks of the minimalist tubers either. |

| Thanks for the coments guys. The front shocks are link mounted. And the rear shocks are mounted to the plate on the axle. Upper and lower links mount to the same plate. Actually use tlt axle stays to mount the lower links and rear shocks. I can't wait to see how it does on the rocks. |
