Ultimately I will be running my black eriksons on this rig... the aluminum locks are for another rig in the beginning stages.

I think I will have to do a pink tuber soon. maybe even keep it for more then a month.

Maybe pink stripes down the center?

Really nice work, I wouldn't paint the panels.

Always nice to hear other builders compliments. Especially those who's work I admire.

So I have been told.

I have also been told they might be available to the common folk very soon. Three piece hub design. Multiple width adjustable in a single set. Death grip bead. And as stated.... they look sick as heck.

MrPink,

You are the man. I haven't seen a tuber of your I don't want.
One (?) though the bottom links on the back with the knuckles turned flat like that will that cause a problem?

I have run alot of setups with the links in that position... no problems. It actually seems to cycle a bit smoother that way.

Oh I learned something once again. Great work man! On your top shock mounts do you just tap or thread the 3/16 tube and what size tap do you use?

srfrkyle1234 · 08-19-2007, 10:51 PM

i'm not even going to lie Mr. Pink.
you have the best looking tuber on RCC... hands down.

OGmicromonster · 08-20-2007, 01:23 AM

That looks awesome! I like it a lot. I'm going to have to learn how to build one of those for myself.
Nice work!

mrpink · 08-20-2007, 03:40 PM

Got my new dampers installed. Pics.

Some people have asked how the R2 fits in there.... answer: very nicely.

Just a cool shot that I like.

Drive shafts and batteries is all that i have left to do.

Josh the 2nd · 08-20-2007, 04:36 PM

I really like the looks of that tuber! What kind of shocks are those red ones?

Grizzly4x4 · 08-20-2007, 05:37 PM

Schweeeet! What else do you say?

I'd do some sort of graphic in red on the panels but leave the rest of it clear or tinted.

balang_479 · 08-20-2007, 05:37 PM

looks amazing....

OGmicromonster · 08-20-2007, 10:02 PM

Looks better and better every time I see it. Hmmm, how do I get one of those tubers? Haha, looking good. I'd say go with carbon fiber panels. You can get some thin sheets that you can cut with scissors. That would look awesome.

truegaintfree · 08-21-2007, 03:41 PM

nice lookin rig....love the color....

Double J · 08-21-2007, 04:54 PM

Looks like another great tuber. Top notch work. Love the color as well.

Big Mike · 08-22-2007, 06:15 AM

Nice work pink.

Transparent red panels would look good on that...

mrpink · 08-23-2007, 08:01 AM

Fitted it up with maxx shocks last night... seems to get a little more flex out of it. the dull grey shocks look good too.

badhoopty · 08-23-2007, 07:52 PM
