Default Brand new competition tuber

Hey everyone, I just finished up a new competition tuber, 12.25" wheel base with aluminum body panels. Let me know what you think, I haven't decided on a tranny or motor set-up yet, give me your opinions.

looks good. I like my pede tranny now that everything is steel gears. I've never had a problem yet with it and I run a 60t matrix with rebel 2 esc and ib4200 supplying power

She's 3.5" wide. I used a jig to design the links, she's got a wheelbase of exactly 12.25".

must be the pic or the size of tubing that makes it look real narrow.
I sure like those round curvy lines on the upper roll cage!

The 3" width needs to be in the passenger compartment. It looks to me to only be that wide at the shock mount. The cab looks like it's barely 2" wide.

Much better than some of the other designs.
Though I think if you hacked off everything in front of the shock mounts it'd look a ton better.

It looks kinda tall,and i think you need more than one screw holding the top link mount.I think the stinger looks weird also.Just my opinion.Hope it crawls good for ya.
