|  Bonzai Buggy comp tuber
I just finished this tuber. I based it off off the www.tsudaracing.com trail lex tube buggy. I built this for a comp tuber for a guy who doesn't want it now! So I might just build it up. Not sure yet. It's all brakeline brazed together then painted black w/ a new Toyota FJ front clip. It has a delrin/steel skid. steel on top for strength and delrin on the bottom to slide. Check it out. LMK what you think.  http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...n_coles/fr.jpg http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...les/tsmock.jpg http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...oles/smock.jpg Here's the 1:1 rig that inspired my build: Last edited by Crawln Coles; 02-15-2007 at 09:53 AM. |

i think i am going to stick with tlt axles for now and if i dont feel they are strong enough i can always upgrade. my dads camera isnt working right now and that is why i dont have pictures up. i got the entire front end on and im just waiting on a few nuts and bolts. i ran out so i wasnt able to finish. its looking pretty good if i do say so myself.
