Default Another tuber to be seen on the RCC...

Another damn tuber is here.... No, RCRG will not be selling tube rigs. Just no way.

Although this particular tuber might go up in the future, only time will tell....

So that means that the tube Maxx chassis design was scrapped?

wait is that a pede tranny in there? I thought you were the guy who had issues with that combo in the past? Did you do sometihng different to make it last? Looks sweet though. I'm going to be building a new tuber here soon.

looks great, it reminds me of the buggy that was in the running for top truck challenge this year.

Yep.... Tube-Maxx chassis was tossed out the door. Building a tube rigs isn't a fast or cheap process. Sure the materials are cheap but if you factor in labor and build time, those small tube chassis get a bit over priced for the masses.

Yes, a 'Pede tranny is in there. The whole rig weighs a little bit more than my Bulu1 chassis rig. All 'Pede trannies need some help when used for crawling, just add a couple metal gears and all is good. This buggy won't actually be ran tomorrow, no driver for the Comp. :-P




The buggy was roughly based off of James' new buggy which we recently went wheelin' with....
