Looking good. I also like the vise you have there. Where did you get that from?

I like how you have everything nice and neat too. Looking good.

Are you working in a bathroom?

hahaha.
No not a bathroom. It's my fish room.
I have my tank built into the wall and this is the back part. I am using it because Its too hot in the garage. the table I made is covered with ceramic tile and then I laid more tile on top of the table so I dont burn the grout.
floor is concrete so it pretty much fire proof, unless I get silly in there.

looks good!
I like how the roof is not flat, it looks like it's high in the center so that should help with recovery if your on your roof!

i have been thinking about redoing my first tuber also, it performed so much better than my stock chassis.
it makes me wonder if it could be better a second time around!

That would be the 2nd stage of RCC Addiction..............redoing stuff just because you had a gut feeling to redo it!


The organization is top notch, and the build looks GREAT!!

Thanks for the input guys. I appreciate it
the top has a bit of an angle to help if I go over backwards I can throttle it back onto its wheels.
