| First time build (TUBER)
Hey guys, I am new here, and I posted in the newbie forum with no response, so I thought I would try here. I am just getting into crawling, but have been into RC for about 15 years. Over the weekend I build up a tuber after doing some looking around on here. Let me know what you think. it will be clod based, and I imagine a super. From the plans that I drew up and worked from it will have a 17" wheel base. Too long? I am not really going for a comp rig. Just want to have fun around my house and break some stuff. Here are the pics Last edited by mavicracer; 03-13-2007 at 11:44 AM. |

at work now, but it measures in just at 15 inches. Too long, or will it work? I can always cut some out of it in the front and back if I need to. I was goung more for a buggy look, as that is what I know best
