Kamikaze (Jeff Williams) was one of the first. Don't think we could determine the very first for sure.

Never ran them but a few of the local guys did religiously.

I almost forgot about 2/3a cells damn that was a long time ago. Saddle packs were serious tech. I only made one so I had to charge after each run lol.

cool pics thanks

David Kingston (a Panther tire rep - ie, Cougars) was the first I knew about to have a Berg. And I think he got Kamikaze and Gatekeeper on the bandwagon, but I'm not positive. I got mine pretty early on, too. He also let me hold a wheel with a pound of additional weight to it, at which I laughed at. Then next thing you know almost everyone ran heavy ass wheels.

X2! I still think that a drive shaft dig with freewheel and lock was one of the coolest things I have ever built.

Since we're all reminiscing, I might as well pull out a few pics from the vault.






...and maybe the best one of all

Awesome! In 10 years my current rig will look to us like these do today. Only then can I claim some semblance of "old school".
