Jim's TUBER!!! O.o

[Stoovey2004]

Love the tuber design and the rims. I will definitely be interested when you start producing these for sale. It would be even more awesome if you could make a similar chassis for the Redcat Sumo...4WS!!!

[Mastah Kyler]

just use the electronics from the sumo if you want you can trade your sumo axles for losi ones there are quite a high demand for them

[spoo76]

The axles should easily swap back and forth with link changes, the only factor would be the transmission I would think, but that could solved with a simple replacement skid plate.

Again this looks awesome, I really like those wheels

It exists!







I do not have it yet. It will need paint. They have other materials colors/properties, they ran this with what was in the machine.

We will soon see what strength it has. If it is too bendy we can add structural supports in the corners, just like in real life.

I still have no idea on the pricing. ;)

It exists!

[Intashu]

It's alive!!!!!!

Looks killer! It would also be cool if you could incorporate some small "buckets" for led lights. Just an jdea....kinda like the shock mounts.

As long as the parts are strong enough, practically anythings possible! So far all the evidence suggests they will be. Yeah, they can be designed around an LED that can be installed and wired later by the builder.

The material costs are reasonable, and I expect I can sell them for around the same as other aftermarket frames available now. The frame could be ordered with several options, with/without front lights, overhead lights, driver, interior, winch, spare tire mount, scale engine, etc. so almost custom print per order. Also, this is just the first chassis. There will be many more. O.O

I will post images and video of the thing all built up and working as soon as possible.

Eta?

[Fungi]

1 to 3 months. Obviously as soon as possible.

The night before Christmas isn't this torturous.

Looking at those shots it appears there will be plenty 'o room in there.
An actual picture of an actual product seems to add more depth perception...

[malofish]

Very, very cool man!

[malofish]

Nice link! Too bad its all sumo stuff.....and homeboy prolly wont ever want to make another...hahaha

[Mastah Kyler]

if i was him i would have kept the losi tranny for speed and put a big block in it

[Summit is Beast!!!]

I cant wait to have 1 of these in hand!!!

[gbean]

If PayPal had a speed dial, you would be on mine fungi.

Now when things get rolling, I would love to see a bolt up scale tuber like the hand-built micro wraith linked above.
Still want one of these first run tubers you're working on though.

[Slambaam]

im hopen to see a scale chassis with a truggy rear end like mgcrawlers creepy build in 1/24th scale. everybody has a hardon for you fungi ahaha
