|  Clod based tuber
Hey everyone, I started this build a really long time ago and I think I might be nearing some sort of completion. I'm running 45t lathes with 9t pinions and a oldschool super rooster fed from a 8 cell sub-c pack, a gaint scale servo out back and a crappy tower hobbies servo up front, moab xls on unnarrowed (I might narrow them later I'm not sure yet) axial beadlocks, all attached to a 1/4 inch solid rod frame. Tell me what think...      |

It's not welded. I brazed it using mapp gas and some brazing rod that my neighbor gave me, it turned out kind of sloppy but it works so whatever... The switches were originally for headlights and tail lights but I removed those, so I think I'm goning to use them for rocklights...

Thanks for the compliments everyone. I have a bunch of down time this week and some extra materials so I think I might try to redo the frame, or at least parts of it...hopefully it will be a little bit neater this time.

Here is my second attempt at a tuber. I'm sticking to a similar design, but with some small changes that I think so far have turned out pretty good...     Tell me what you think... |

That is such an improvement in work, it looks like you used more heat or cleaned the metal good. Probably flowed a lot better too.
