|  Del Monte's Banana Tuber
Here it is... The first Top Banana tuber  Its based off of our Hendrix motorsports formula toy.   Here you can see where the cage bolts right on to the Banana  Decals from SocalvinylWorx  This rig is running a Novak Goat, hitec 985 servo, revo shocks with 30wt. oil front and rear, and of course, losi tires I've ran the new Losi Carvers on it last weekend, and they performed great! Its pretty cool to see them stick in places where the claws won't and vise versa.. Overall its a very fun rig to drive, and it looks awesome |

Bruce and I might bust out a few more and put them up if there's an interest in them. The tires on the 1:1 ftoy are Interco's sticky compound Trxus's and they're awesome. I've never ran the street compund ones, but the stickys are killer. | |

That looks great. I like that you tweaked the f-toy dimensions enough for it to look good in RC. Not knocking the other rigs that have been base on hendrix chassis and f-toys, but they always seemed stubby and tall, where yours looks longer and sleeker.
