thanks, it was so much work. All the links, steering were made by hand, the mounting plates were made by hand, even the body panels are aluminum plates. Took a ton of trial and error. Just getting the electronics in there was a miracle. Its packed in. Its very heavy it weighs 3lb 13 oz
I just use it for fun at home. I havent touched it in almost 1 year.

Mr Pink used to build them....and I believe that TCS sells them. As for used, well, you'll just have to check ebay or the for sale section here....

Actually ecoli builds the skunk, i am the original owner of the skunk chassis i still have the first prototype thats on the first page of this thread.

TCS only sells the mini edge now and the mini eclipse has been discontinued. Mr Pink made the fat dog and ecoli the skunk but i dont believe Mr Pink is around/sells chassis any longer I would try sending ecoli a PM.

Funny that there's still interest in these. I made a run of them years ago now. I figured comp tubers were all dead !

There were several of us building similarly styled tubers back in the day. I think we all owe this "style" to Gimbal though. I don't think he's been on here for a couple of years.

Looks like I am resurrecting this thread....which isn't bad because the OP's rig is something that new guys like myself should see. Kinda like a prerequisite to MRC's.

Anyway, I love this chassis, friggin' love it! Do any of you know how to get in touch with "Ecoli"? I sent him a PM but his last post was in 2014. I have looked and looked through the Internet, going to all the sites that I know to go to but cannot find one new or used. I gotta have this thing.

If anyone knows how to contact him can you tell him there is a guy interested on RCCrawler Forum? Who knows, bringing the thread back to life may generate some new interest.

Thanks!
