A tuber for Kae-Two
 

At our last local UTRCRC comp on Sunday, Kae-Two asked if i would build another tuber and i told that it would all depend on who it was for. So he said for him which blew me away bacause this guy can get any chassis he wants for a comp rig. So here it is 6 hours of labor and $20 in supplies. This is going to be my last tuber build because I just dont enjoy building them anymore unless its for me;-) on to the picks

its kind of a copy from one he found on the web but with my own little twist... any comments are welcomed and thanks for looking"thumbsup"

Get a vendors star and start enjoying cash for your work

real nice chassis "thumbsup"

the skid
 

A Delrin skid plate mates right up to the bottom rails of the tuber for easy transmission access and the bottom links mount up with the delin also . The top links mount to the bigger pieces of tube in the middle of the chassis and the shocks mount to the two pieces at each end of the tuber. any ?'s I'd love to answer them 4 you"thumbsup"

Very cool man"thumbsup"

Not bad, is the bottom on the driver's side tweaked a bit? You might have to watch your link geometry, but it should be close enough for gov't work. :)

yea that does look nice, so is this for a 2.2 or a super?

It is for a 2.2 TLT crawler.

yeah its tweeked a bit but building these things from scratch is a pain in the azz, but im getting better every time i do one. and thanks for the comments this is what it's all about"thumbsup"

I fixed the tweek in the chassis rails before he came to pick it up. Kae-two said he will post some picks when he gets it all put together"thumbsup"

I just picked this up today and from the images it does look tweaked from side to side but in person it's spot on. I couldn't be more pleased with the work. Before I got there Fathead had noticed that it was just a tad off on the lower mount, but he had it all dialed in by the time I showed up. I have to say that with no jig and the little amount of time he took to build it, it really is incredible.

Now I have to get to building :-o

Fathead, I really appreciate you throwing this together for me. My wife on the other hand hates you "thumbsup"

What do you do though ;-)

I have to buy the wife nice expensive purses. Try it she might look the other way"thumbsup"

Looks good Fathead Know lets see what KII can do with it.

Much agreed. It does look like everything is about where you'd want it. It should do well.

I send my wife on expensive trips and while she's gone I hire a nanny to watch the kids while I build crawlers :-o

I love trips :-)

OH thats a good one. I'll have to remeber that one when the kid comes.
Thanks"thumbsup" .

Agree'd. Building tubers sucks unless its for yourself

Great idea! Thanks for the heads up.

nice tuber. got any new pics?

Not yet. I'll get working on it this weekend "thumbsup"

Nice tuber, I also would like to see more pix

I'll get some up pretty soon. I had a few changes that I needed to get worked out for the skid and tranny so Fathead come by and picked it up today for a little tuning. I'm not talking about the kind of tuning that I did on Pinchflat the other day either. It's a bit more subtle ;-)

I'll have to pics up soon.
