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?

STEEL_CITY_CRAWLER · 07-11-2007, 07:11 AM

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

Red Rockcrawler · 07-11-2007, 07:51 AM

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

rockmike · 07-11-2007, 08:59 AM

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.

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.
