Hmmm looks a little loopy but nice, I would end the fron stretch before it goes over the top of the front axle but thats just me!

west virginia krawler · 03-22-2007, 07:59 PM

yea i kinda was goind for the loopy look. and the front end will be bout where its at now

sfrankland · 03-22-2007, 10:23 PM

Your top links should be mounted more towards the center of the axle rather than out on the ends like you have them. This will help in keeping the rear end centered. Like the chassis.

Turblankas13 · 06-11-2007, 06:36 PM

haha i am liking this, its really a fresh site to see becasue just about every other tuber on here looks the same!!

Spucknit · 06-11-2007, 07:34 PM

I'm diggin' the look of the tuber. Very original. It looks as though the drop in the front loop would impede your articulaion though. How much arc are you gettin'?

TJ_Shunk · 06-11-2007, 07:44 PM

I'm diggin' the tube design. I didn't like it at first but now I am liking it more each time I see it. Needs some panels made

Nice looking tuber for sure......just wondering though (and maybe it's not important to you) whether it's legal under the 2.2 rules? It looks kinda skinny and maybe not tall enough for legal comp.

STANG KILLA SS · 06-12-2007, 08:00 PM

cool design, for some reason it looks like a Double J design he likes all those swoops and arcs in his stuff.

olelemon99 · 06-13-2007, 03:37 AM

Wow! Very Good idea & So Goog work

Thanks a lot. Double J is definitly an awsome builder and designer, and i admire all his work.

Here's the rule for you:

2.2 Crawler class tube chassis are allowed with the following restrictions. Overall dimension of the
complete chassis must be at least 8"overall length, 3" overall width, and 3.75" overall height, the roof
must be raised from the main chassis to resemble a cockpit, and it must have solid hood, roof and sidepanels.
Tube chassis’ should resemble a 1:1 vehicle.

Well Its almost legal.....Its 3 1/2 tall, 4 inches wide, and 14 1/2 inches wide. So its not tall enough and it doesnt really resemble nothin. But there are side panels. O well
