I was blown away by the tube work. I know in every thread you'll see the comments of how great the work is blah blah blah. This is, hands down some of the cleanest I've seen and the way the cage capture the body and secures to the frame is awesome | |

Awesome looking rig!! Class 2??? Just got done reading through the rules for scale comps....pretty sure class 2 you cant have tires past either bumper. Could be wrong. |

Ok a few more pics you see the axle width comparison as the from is modded the rear is stock. You also see the bitchin paint job as well as body work, like the rescribed hoodline after the dove work. I also shot a pic of how the tube work is mated with hardware through the sliders and where the cage is split, but very cleanly done and unless you're looking, hard to notice Last edited by boosted4lyf; 11-28-2013 at 04:56 PM. |

I can't take credit for the tube work, but there a guy in Australia that definitely does some clean work.

Ah the Berglux! I made that exo for Reece (the original owner) and fitted Berg diffs under it with the intentions of being a completely unique rig! He got the body dovetailed and painted by another mate and gave me the body and kinda let me have a free run and do whatever i wanted with it. I spent hours on that thing and that was the first exo id built with that way of seperating the cage to allow the body to be unbolted. Really keen to see what you end up doing with it! Keep the photos coming!!!!!!! |

I will be keeping this updated as often as possible. Reece is a great guy. And for your first exo, you set the bar high that's for damn sure | |
