Works great. I missed driving a shafty after I switched to a berg. This is my first Axial based rig and its much nicer overall than my TLT shafties from the past. I also love the consistency of driving a shafty again. The MOA rigs were just to unpredictable.

Love the tires. Pro-Line did an excellent job on them.

Looks killer man! Im loving the winch down suspension! Way to represent at comps for us non dig users lol

Gatekeeper · 02-24-2009, 08:28 PM

Very nice work Rig looks great how are you liking the winch down option

J.DUKE · 02-25-2009, 10:26 PM

What an awesome build. You put a fresh spin on some proven ideas. Way to innovate!

Couple weight questions for ya... What do your front and rear wheels weigh apeice? (total per wheel: rim, added weight, foam, and tire)
What does your truck weigh when you remove the wheels? Thanks.
(I just got a set of Chisels)

Thanks Austin, the winch down is great. There were a few climbs at the last comp that were much easier with it. However it takes some getting used to on off camber situations when you expect it to such everything down it actually lifts a tire and hurts you. I just keep practicing with it

Thank you! I will get you those weights soon. Off the top of my head I think the total front weight of each wheel, tire, and foam was a hair over 20 oz. Rear is much less

Oh yea this is an amazing build thread ,Very nice work

Mini · 02-26-2009, 09:45 AM

you removed a whole in. from your height

Thats insane......
Looks great thought, that think is mean looking when its slammed all they way.

ADDICT · 02-26-2009, 10:53 AM

Geez Brandon you suprise me once again... Im loving the build. Very detailed, lots of pics and info as well. I noticed you went back to putting your other pair of CDPs on the rear.

Nice BTA and Winch set up and love the body. Great job B.

CRF450R · 02-26-2009, 01:11 PM

Nice job on the winch set up. I'm interested to see how you like the dual winch compression. I've been running a front winch for awhile now.

Really like how you think out side the box.

Brandon · 02-26-2009, 10:06 PM

Decided to try out the Pro-Line 2 stage foams again. I keep messing with different setups and I keep coming back to these. Fresh set of tires to and did some direct comparison with the previous setup. 2-stage foams win hands down.

Going to stick with them for now until something new comes out real soon

Here are the weights front and rear as requested:

Front: (Mayhem Al DP's with extra weight)

Rear: (Mayhem Delrin DP's)

Yeah I love the way it looks slammed, however I usually run it at full height unless I absolutely have an advantage from being that low

So far I love the dual compression. The way its setup it sucks the front down first then the rear. I see no disadvantage to doing it this way. I love the way yours worked when I watched you run at nats 07 and you winched down coming around a corner/sidehill. Been wanting to do it since

I took a quick vid from my cheap digital camera and it came out horrible. I dont have any editing software either. I am way past due to get a nice vid camera! I will see if I can get it uploaded.

channo · 02-27-2009, 04:09 PM

Nice Looking RIG and awesome build =)

atekt · 02-28-2009, 01:08 PM

Did you do anything with the Proline foams or just leave them as is?

Harley · 02-28-2009, 02:01 PM

Put your hands in the air and step back from the scale and nobody will get hurt......

I am going to go swap out my foams to the two stage I have here. Lets see if you are full of it or not
