Default Rock racer tuber

I put a little twist on the spider chassy and this is what it turned out like. I decided to try out some hollow tubing to save some weight it only saved me 1/2 lb compared to my other tuber But has proven to be plenty stong took it to moab this weekend and it took some serious abuse well heres the specs. R2 tranny tlt axles custom shock set up similar to what the spider has well let me know which one you like the rock racer is the one with 17 turn motor and no servo stinger.

I think they are both killer Lance- wish I had your skills. I am jealous of your trip to Moab too.
I think I am liking the racer more.
Did you braze the tubing?

Thumbs up

Looks? Since when did looks matter to the MadScrambler? It's all about performance, right?! They both look awesome, but which one crawled better? More important, when you moving to Boise and setting up a crawling shop?
