Default The Wyoming MRC tuber

Here is my Wyoming MRC tuber. A list of mods:
-Lance Parker tube chassis
-droop front/ standard rear
-Tekin FXR ESC
-Holmes Hobbies Mini motor
-cut down badlands
-four link front
-three link rear
-stock lower links/ custom uppers
-mini spectrum reciever
-Hitech 645 steering servo
-straight piped like everything else here in Wyoming!

Special thanks to Lance for being a good friend and staying up till midnight wheeling in the Wyoming moonlight! lol

What does the intake-looking pipe coming from the transmission do for you?

Nice rig otherwise.

Nothing, it just gives it a little scale look. It's an exhaust pipe.

I'll try and get some more vids and pics up today but here is a vholdr vid of Lance Parkers' mini tuber. He built mine and does a great job at building a highly capable tube chassis. I'll talk to him today about making more. http://www.vholdr.com/node/6123

Nice little clips I can't belive how slick that rock was. The badlands work way better than the losi tires, on that same climb I had to try about 5 or 6 times before I could make it at mock 10. We need to shoot more footage..

I just love these cut-down BadLands - they look so great and seem to work well either. I think I need to get another set and try this, too. But I just hate cutting brand new tires ...

Great rig and nice vids.

Hey, I just read the first page of the thread so I'm not sure if this question was answered or not, but what are the chances of my contracting this 'Lance' characters skills to build me a chassis?

and what size diameter is the exhaust?
