Its mine, Cole got bored or something and wanted to build me a tuber. I think he just wanted to make me spend more money on getting another set of axles....

I've actually thought about building up another tuber just to sell on ebay. They are kinda fun to make.

Well the truck did pretty good, took 2nd place with it. I ended up hitting a gate and rolled over once in the second course, the gate alone cost me 1st place as I was just 8 points shy of taking it. Still I was very happy with how the truck did

Ya it did well. We were doing some crazy angles in every direction. With how well it went up stuff. It was surprising how well it could go down them as well.

Are you running internal springs on those Associated shocks or just shock oil w/no springs?

I got a chance to see one of these in action yesterday, I have to congratulate you on a job well done. It performs very well and it is well balanced. I liked it a LOT better in person than in the pics.

Great job!
