Project Rockcrawler! - 04-12-2007, 01:43 AM

Well it ain't much but here's the start of the tube chassis for my rockcrawler, I got a lot more tube to be added but ran out of tubing at work last night! So a trip to Napa Thursday to get more tubing is in order. I'll keep updating this as I go with it! LMK what ya'll think? The more I sit here and look at this cage it looks a whole lot like a dang Sprint car cage! Hey why not I could build an 1/8th scale sprint car too! God I gotta quit listening to these voice's in my head

Cool.. Don't forget to leave yourself some space to add in shock mounts later on.

Tamiya has Jugg 2 axle up grades for 20 bucks!!!!
http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/ite...oduct-id=93020
They come almost complete. Axle shafts and a few other things needed thats all! I should have mine tuesday!

I'm just saying cause I have been looking for these for a long, long time and a little jacked up on coffee!

The Mad Force axles should work out well with this build, can't wait to see more!
