AX10 W/Tuber Chassis "Pro Line"

[monsterman]

Sup guys,
Trying to get back into the Crawler scene.. Its Winter here in NY and I cant play with my Baja's as much.. So here is the deal I have a brand new hardly used AX10 "RTR Version" and it has not seen that much use or trail time. I would like to make a Scale Crawler out of it, more for appearance then anything but if I can also make a decent crawler for playing around in the rock garden that that would be even sweeter..


So I have been looking around the forums, net and Crawler Stores.. I'd like to give the Pro Line Tube Chassis a try.. I like the look but here's my question.. Can I get a Lexan or Plastic Body to also fit over the Tube Chassis?? I tried to see if I could find some threads, posts or build threads but didnt have much luck..

Here's what I am looking at..

Scale Bodies I would like to see if I can get them to work with the Pro Line Tuber Chassis..

Whats up, I am on HBF also. I have not been very active on there in the last year since I got into crawling. The AX-10 is a great rig you'll love it. "thumbsup"

i have built 3 of the proline tubers for my sons and i ... they work very well not as good as a comp rig but better then a scaler. not sure about putting a body over them, i just run the panel kit for them

Cool I dont want to go and spend anymore money at least not on another rig at the moment.. Everyone keeps telling me that the AX10 is a good rig to start off with. I just cant handle this ugly Puke Green stock body..

By any chance would you have any pictures of your rigs with the Pro Line Tuber and those panels?? I forgot the kit came with the panels, those would work..


Thanks

Thanks man!



A few other things I found I like.. Ok if I scratch the Pro Line Tuber, will I need anything else to use one of the following set ups on the AX10 RTR I have??

Here's a link to the RTR AX10 I have

What will I need to get that AX10 to look like this maybe just different colors?

nope they will go on just like the body that you have...only thing i would recommend is getting shorter shocks, 4 link plates (strc makes good ones cheap ) and aluminum or delrin links if you have not already done so...oh and change the tires as well the stockers dont hook up to well

Ok I I feel real out of place or I guess you can call me a newb :sad:
I'm coming over from 1/5 & Baja's and am pretty darn lost right now..

If you dont mind could you hook me up with links to all the parts you just listed?
The AX10 RTR I have sitting here in front of me is completely stock..


Thanks DeweyCJ5
