|  tube frame buggy
I know this is not exactly a crawling related question but I have missed a chance to buy on ebay a old Real Racing tube frame chassis for the RC10. I am still biting my fingers for that one.... Does anyone knows someone that build realistic tube chassis for buggies? Any info would be great! Cheers |

Since this is not about crawlers it might get moved to chit chat, just be prepared. Are you looking for a stadium truck look, or a baja buggy look? Do you want it to fit under a body or not use a body? Alum. or steel? |

one of my customers builds tube chassis conversions for most cars. hes not cheap at around 200 bucks a pop but it might be worth it. also lengthens by 1 inch and modifies suspension geometry. www.shortsandcars.com give it a peek

there are a few guys that build tube frames on RCC- Hulk, Boyer,Aubie and a couple others... maybe they will chime in..Best bet woudl be Aubie or Hulk, cause i know Boyer is usually backed up quite a bit

that buggy would be easy to build. there isn't to many bends in it to worry about.You should be able to build that  |

If I had the specs on an rc10 i'd be willing to take a stab at it. I don't have a whole lot of buggies aside from my mini-t's. I had an rc10 when I was a kid but that things long been destroyed.

Well the funny thing right now is that I don't have my buggy with me right now. Just my TXT and TLT. I live temporarily in the Netherlands and my buggy is at home in Canada. I am planning to get it here though... I miss driving a fat off road car. Expecially if I can get a tube chassis  |

This is a nice buggy too but I prefer the "one seater" type...  I guess I have to find another used RC10 and then send it to someone that can make me a chassis  |
