Default Updated, Action Pics. Tuber

My latest project, yes it works super good. I've done my research. Here it is-

No its not a hustler, yes it looks like it. I love the look and performance (can it get better ). In fact i love this chassis so much I've made 2 so far, here is the one.


Just showin how stable it is..

Yet able to still produce enough artii to get the job done


It has no torque twist either. I still need to paint the lexan but i figured i'd unleash it as of now. So expect an update soon. Im runnin a vmx r14 battery under the front lexan but its not in the pictures. I am building a battery pack to go on the front axle.

Feel free to comment

that looks really good! would it be easier to just run the angle out a little more on the front lower tube so it lines up with the shock mount tube, or would it through off the link mounts? I was just wondering cause I noticed your panels are cut like that. I really like the rig though!

Default I'm not a hustler, I just crush a lot...

Not a hustler, and yea they did it first but yours looks just as sweet. you didn't have to wait for one forever or shell out mad cash for one. plus you made it yourself. Thats something to take pride in. Its a shafty that looks killer. really nice work. I'd like to own one of those bad boys.

Well at first it was all flat black, then i decided too much black. And i decided to try moabs and pimp it with some red axial rings. Also i made some custom inner springs work for my maxx shocks. Check it out, some pics on a course in the back yard-

Nice copy, what material did you use? I notice you said you made 2 they are both for you right? You did not sell one to someone else I hope.
