Nice guys nice.Even at $200 dollars that thing is a steal.Tube work is so under priced it's not even funny.I'd pay 2 bills for that frame

I have to say that it looks just like a gimbal made tuber.

Tell me if I'm out of line but I just don't think it's cool to profit off of somone elses designs.

Edit: Once more I have to say very nice tuber.
I can't wait to see more tuber designs from RCP.
Thats cool it sounds like Gimbal must of had a hand in the build design.

Well done

kaetwo,
I totally understand where your coming from and you are not out of line at all. Mrpink has designed this chassis on his own, with some Gimbal flavor. Before we (RCP Crawlers) ever took on this project, we made sure that Gimbal was completely in the loop. Mrpink has also taken the professional steps to make sure all parties are on the same page.

All parties are on the same page and in the loop.

Knowing this, what do you think of the chassis?

For the record then...Gimbal that is one heck of a tuber. Looks just like the Fat China Man that you made for Dean, Unimoger and NazT.

Well done

I would suggest giving him a call, since he is a close friend. I think you will edit your post once you know the facts.

Thanks,
John

It sounds like you guys have a good thing going then. Mr.Pink, one heck of a chassis maker combined with Gimbal's design element is bound to make one heck of a tuber. A Gimbal tuber is so highly sought after that I think you'll sell a ton of these.

I would however make mention that Gimbal was in on the collaboration. This I think would greatly diminish any false negatives.

Having said that I think the tuber looks great! I dig the lines and chassis pan setup.

Thanks for clarifying
