Everyone post a picture of their tubers, preferrably built not bought. Unless bought from me, JIA. "thumbsup" I think a tuber archeive thread would be cool. Just post a pic with stats, chassis material, overall size and rig stats too. I'll start

"Mugsy" 3/16" Cromoly tubing just under 10" overall length 4" wide
Lexan panels, stealth tranny, custom adapters, pede shafts, HPI 4" shocks, Machined RC4WD Super"duper" narrow beadlocks sportin Narrowed Masher 2K's.

a better pic will come later

Dave, I'd post a pic of the tuber I got from you but it's no longer a TLT.

Come to think of it I don't have a TLT tuber.

Three WK tubers, two TXTs, a Clod, and the 1:18 Sally.

Looks like I need another tuber. :lol:
 
Mirage 2.2

Frame originally built by Kamikaze, modified and assembled by me "thumbsup"

I will add specs later...
