Talking 2.2 Tuber done... lotsa pics.

Got it back from the powder coaters... black chrome is the color.
- Built from 3/16 brake line, brazed as always.
- Belly pan made from .064 aluminum. R2 and lower links mount to it. Upper links mount to chassis.
- Lower links are revo ends, 8/32 all thread and steel sleeved
- Upper links are maxx ends, 6/32 all thread and carbon fiber sleeved (just because it looks cool).
- Rear servo mount for dig setup. (should work with R2 disco also.)
- All panels bolt on with 4/40 SS button heads and are mode out of pretty beefy lexan.
- TLT shocks for now, I have others on thier way.
- Suspension setup for droop but could be converted to sprung if I want to as some point.
-Wheels 1" wide aluminum beadlocks (weighted in front), kreepy foams, LOSI rock claws. 1/8" air hole.





Posers....




Close up. (ummmmm..... black chrome)


Front 4 link setup. (is that a hood? do we need a ruling on this one?)




Rear 4 link....

That looks sweet, It would look sweeter if you turned the tlt shocks down.

No, I don't... wait, that doesn't work. I am replacing the TLT shocks all together. But yes, they would look alot better turned.

Wow i like it alot, very good work. Looks awesome, love the wheel/tire combo. what wheels are those?

As far as the hood... Im not a nat's judge but i would say it would work because you still have a full hood, its just not all covered with lexan.

Looks great. If I were to paint to the panels, I would just go with black or gunmetal.......or pink.
