RockMike's Tuber...
 

Well my buddy dosn't have a vid card on his puter so he can't download pics so I went and took some pics for him and well.......

And this is the reason for the new build...

WTF did he do run it over? the tuber looks pretty good though. are there gonna be any specs or dimesions put up for it?

dang, that thing looks beefy!! nice looking tube work!

Dang mike nice tube work. I can't wait for you to get it done So we can crawl.

hey thanx for posting the pics bud,specs are 8 1/8 long ,the base is 31/8 its around 31/2 tall the skid will be made of uhmw that will hang a bit below the tube so it should make the 3 3/4 hight measurement.I started with 2 51" 3/16 pieces of brake line,got about 10"s leftover.Wanted to keep it as small as i could.

x2 nice tuber, what did he do to his last crawler?

thanx cory,it was a blast to build.Started on a friday night and had this sunday night.Still got to clean it up and braze the joints,clean again and paint the hoe.Its got no name ,the last rig i named smoke because of all the cheap esc's i smoked runin it.LOL.:lol:

The old version was a "Bottom Drawer Crawler" everything on it was from the old scrap r/c drawer. It worked well, but broke prety easy too.......so the light clicked in mike's head and he ponied up some coin and bought some quality parts and it should hold together better this round.

i broke the frnt axle housing and bent the upper 3 link on a crash at the last comp.Got pissed and tossed it and broke the rear 4 link.As it sits i just tore it apart a bit to get the tranny out for fitting it up,still dont know how im goin to mount it in there.Im kinda shootin from the hip on this,wasnt sure how the tuber would turn out.I like it so i will go on from here.Maybe this will turn into a buiold thread.

Looks good, Mike. "thumbsup" Looking forward to checking it out, and seeing what it can do8)

Mike we need too get together and duplicate that.

u gonna droop it or spring it?
Looks nice

nice looking!

possibly i threw away the pic i drew up,but ya i could duplicate it im thinkin.What about the tuber you were building that was pretty sick lookin.

thanx for the kind words i appreciate it,its goin to get droop,with no springs in side 100 wt oil.worth a try alot of guys seem to be having good luck with this setup.

"thumbsup" got frnt shock mount done,tabs for panels done,skid is done,i think ill paint it tonight.Im havin way to much fun mini fabin on this project."thumbsup"

If you need me to take more pics let me know."thumbsup"

I really like the design of the tuber.

Get r dun Mike, I want to see this thing crawl:!: "thumbsup" 8)
