Nice rig! I hope my first tuber comes out half that nice.looking at the pictures and am wondering if you mig welded the chassis? It seems like most of the tubers I have seen on here are soldered/brazed. Ive tried mig wleding smaller tubing and seem to get alot of build up at the weld point that has to ge ground back down. yours look like they are real clean.

I used 1/4 steel rod, it's a little easer to weld with a mig.....The best advice I can give is take your time withthe frame. Measure twice then tack it and measure again to make sure its straight. And take advice fromthe guys on here that have built a few of these. Ive been into rc for quite some time but with this being my first super I did alot of research and ask lots of questions.......And then theres trial and error.....lol it always works........ Good luck with your build.
