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!
mash: 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 headmash:

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

Looks good so far but looks like a car exo cage sorta
Project Rockcrawler! - bubbaracing - 04-12-2007

I've got a torch and a welder, you have a pickup (well, it's a ford) shall I come by and start our project?
Project Rockcrawler! - bubbaracing - 04-12-2007
John if you want to fund it i'll build it, "if ya build it they will come" I'm sure I can get a killer deal on the tubing from my buddies speed shop where we build stock cars! Maybe even I could build it there! lol :crazy:
Project Rockcrawler! - AddictedtoNITRO - 04-12-2007
matt stop lol your about to go too far lol
Project Rockcrawler! - bubbaracing - 04-13-2007
John started it though! LMAO
Project Rockcrawler! - Jeepguy - 04-13-2007
Yeah Bubba! Looks good so far, what axles are ya using?
Project Rockcrawler! - bubbaracing - 04-13-2007
Mad force axles! Not sure for tranny yet, I was lookin around, got a rustler trans but needs parts yet?
Project Rockcrawler! - Jeepguy - 04-13-2007
Tamiya has Jugg 2 axle up grades for 20 bucks!!!!
http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=93020
They come almost complete. Axle shafts and a few other things needed thats all! I should have mine tuesday!:joy:
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!
Project Rockcrawler! - bubbaracing - 04-13-2007
Sweet!! I just might get some of those too, cause i'd been throwing the idea around bout building a scale too!
Project Rockcrawler! - bubbaracing - 04-23-2007
Well I scrapped the other cage idea for a crawler, i'll use that one for another project!:crazy: Here's the new cage I threw together this weekend, this one looks more like a real tuber so far! Most likely i'm gonna use an e-maxx trans with the mad-force axles now! If anyone has any spare Revo driveshafts they're not gonna use lmk cause i'll need them for this project! LMK what ya'll think of this one! I'm hoping to have the cage done by next weekend!
:joy:
Project Rockcrawler! - Ponch - 04-23-2007
Cool...Very narrow...
Project Rockcrawler! - Jeepguy - 04-23-2007
Looks sweet! So when could I expect mine?
JK
Project Rockcrawler! - bubbaracing - 04-23-2007
When ya want one? I kept it all on the board to make more, or even drew out a shorter version for a scaler maybe! LMK if ya want one, after this one i'm building a short one to fit under a clodbuster body
Yeah ponch it's skinny, just enough to fit a trans between the framerails!:p: j/k
Matt
Project Rockcrawler! - Jeepguy - 04-23-2007
That would be sweet! I could put my Clod axles under one
Project Rockcrawler! - AddictedtoNITRO - 04-23-2007

Project Rockcrawler! - bubbaracing - 04-24-2007
If ya pay for the brake line i'll be more than happy to build ya one Jeff, oh and jeep-guy too!
Project Rockcrawler! - Jeepguy - 04-24-2007
