THIS HERE. This is the type of style tuber I would love to see a regular production of. This style and that will fit a decent range of cut Pro-Line bodies such as the Rubi it has at top of it or maybe an FJ.  | |

You guys need to build some copies of your purple landcruiser! That is my dream rig! Get some of them built and I will for sure buy one! I think that is the style you should do, or at least one of the styles.

I really like those alot. But we are looking to make a more simplified chassis, to get these into a price range that most can handle. A chassis like the above is quite time consuming to make. Who ever did them has done some very nice work |

Corey.... I like the fact you are price sensitive.....I would also think something more simple would weigh less...some of these tubers are tanks...My 2 cents....Storm  |

Yeah, thats true. I already have a 7 pound crawler, something a bit lighter would be nice.

did a little testing today !!! gettin closer.... most of the "body panels" are off while I'm messing with diff setups, it's just easier that way. the last pic is a "photo chop" of it with all the panels and some color to give you a little better idea of the look I'm going for.    |

Yup, I think I like it. I do see a little bit of Karnivore in that windsheild/cowl area... |

hey thanks guys ! just so you all know I'm trying to build this chassis to be able to run a number of diff components and setups. there is vertical link adjustment, enough room for a pede transmission (mounted in pic just did a little trimming on the pede to remove some usless plastic), and a stick pack up under the front of the "hood". so building arround a pede and a stick pack IMO left enough room for most other trannys and batterys that are ran in our crawlers. in the pics there is a Tekin R2 speed control and a TQ3 reciever, which means that there is room for most speed controls and reciever's back there. oh yea diffrent shock locations too... |

looks good, nice to see people making production tubers... one suggestion, i think the front is a bit square, maybe give a slight point in the middle maybe, the rest looks awesome. |

Maybe just knock the front corners off a bit with an angle/chamfer? | |

looks realy great the way you got it already and i wouldnt change it unless it needed to be, i think with out panels on the rear it would make it look as if it has a rear carrier fitted and i would leave the front side ones off to just to show off the frame a bit more but thats just my thoughts if i had one. (when you starting production) |

i hate being limited on shock or link mount locations, it looks as you are already addressing that. i personally would love to see a 1.9 warpig style chassis. rear 4 link and juggy leafs up front, tuber bed area and the user can fab whatever cab they want to it. with winch and servo mounts... | |
