|  PinchFlat's 2.2 '07 Nats tuber
Well now that I'm running 2.2 as well as Super at the '07 Nats this year, I thought I better throw a rig together. I know, I know... why am I not running a J2-TT... well I can't keep them in stock and since they are selling like crazy I can't even set one aside for myself... It both sucks and doesn't at the same time  & :-(Anyway I decided to braze up a 2.2 tube Kaetwo tube inspired. Not perfect but not bad for the 2nd tuber I have ever built. I named it HomeGrown. NO TIM, JUST LIKE KAETWO, THIS DOESN'T GET YOU OF THE HOOK! This is only a temporary "bandaid" tube chassis until I get the REAL one.   Now I have 2 completely new rigs to get used to before Nationals... What am I, stupid? Last edited by PinchFlat; 07-30-2007 at 03:16 PM. |

Damn!  Once I get my finances squared away, I'm going to have to build (or buy) a tuber, I've got the bug bad, and w/ rigs like this, it just gets worse!  Looks fantastic Pinch, best of luck at the Nat's! |

I'm liking the look of it, sleek low and light. I'm debating a full up tuber rebuild of mine as well. I know there was stuff in that moab video posted last year that my truck wouldn't be able to do. It's just do I want to learn the ropes on a new rig or do I think my score would be better with a crawler I'm used to driving. |
