hey what a sweet little rig buddy, love the orange. Beautiful pictures and countryside too. I really like the the look of these sorts of rigs but I haven't built one yet. :thumb:

Nice looking rig Mate. A super comp class tuber is on my list of things to build (its a looooong list....)

Well done!

Great scenery and awesome tube frame on what looks like a fun crawler. I always thought that a 2.2 comp crawler/tuber would be a fun truck since all of my rigs are 1.9 and are liable to break in a rollover.

Thanks for the kind words folks.

The competition rigs are good fun, but its hard around my way to find some rock that poses a challange to it! Thats the main reason why i don't have a clod based super anymore, theres just nothing fun to run it on :(

I used to have several comp style 2.2 crawlers, but due to lack of a challage, i've sold all but the one above and have replaced them with 1.9 rigs. Will post some pics of them when i have them completed :)

Sweet, 1.9's are the way to go. I used to have a 2.2, but I converted it to 1.9. The 2.2 version was still loads of fun, but it was time to rebuild the truck anyways.
