 Re: time to rebuild the ute into dovetail tuber
adding the last bits & pieces to the frame,hopefully be throwin some paint on this thing today or tommorow i didnt do the panhard or the chassis mounted servo as i just dont have the time to be patient at the moment maybe when i do rebuild # 3  but regardless i think i'll be happy with the end result  pics are coming after the paint is on the frame.

 Re: time to rebuild the ute into dovetail tuber
Hey Wepnx,
Well...thats a huge effort....nice job. How is the top end weight factor...being all tube there must be a bit of weight there. Where are you planning on driving it ?

Scott cheers mate, the weight is around 300gms for the frame which isnt to bad the cog is fairly high compared with a comp style build, but this things just gonna be a social basher unless she performs fairly well then i may just throw her in the ring  i have a rock course in the backyard but i also hit the quarry or jc when i get the chance. cheers Aaron.
