| ![]() ![]() I was built this to replace my old tuber that I got rid of My Little Tuber Wanted to have it done by last weekend for the 1st WPAC GTG. But didn't get to run it much because the punisher shaft kept coming loose... Well, here's the specs and a some more pics. Custom Coles Tuber powdercoated chrome Pede tranny 4-link and jato shaft w/steel ends up front 3-link(Maxx arm & delrin links) and Punisher Shaft, rear Delrin skid H3 hardbody locked axles w/full bearings & Junfac link mounts alum knuckles & wideners RC4WD super narrow beadlocks w/M2K's Droop style suspension-Pede shocks w/100wt oil Quark33/Park 400 Cirrus servo Spectrum front end http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...s/P1010168.jpg flip top http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...s/P1010163.jpg flex shots http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...s/P1010161.jpg http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...es/BDtuber.jpg http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...s/P1010166.jpg belly shots http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...s/P1010165.jpg http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...n_coles/BD.jpg http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...s/P1010170.jpg http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...s/P1010164.jpg http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...elrinlinks.jpg I ran a pack through it, after modding the punisher shaft, on a small rock pile. Torque twist was killin me so I put a spring inside the front left shock and swapped out the 45wt for 100wt. Now I gotta get it back on the rocks before the next GTG on see how it does. LMK what you guys think. ![]() |

How well do the rc4wd beadlocks hold down the mashers? One of the locals was saying he wasn't real happy with the results? I like the tuber, it came out nice. |

Man, I took that pinisher shaft straight to the bench grinder soon as I got home sunday! And I made a special set screw out of a screw pin. He's not going anywhere now. Well... at least untill I figure out if I want rear dig or not. I was going to shave the rear axle, but I kept hearing a voice say"what if you need the rear servo mount?" But the bottom is getting shaved before I hit the rocks agian. I wanna get those RC4WD rear lockouts too. They look nice!!! Last edited by Crawln Coles; 03-15-2007 at 08:17 AM. | |

| ![]() How do you like your Cirrus servo? ![]() Hobby People had them on sale for $24.99, so I picked up 3 of them. I haven't tried them yet, some say good some say bad. Does anyone know what servo horn fits a Cirrus servo? |
