unfourtunetly i do not have any more progress pics as time was running out i spend all the time i could just getting it ready for the sunday comp. I was up till 4 on friday, then up till 3 on sat  . But i did manage to get it all together and running for the comp, went and took 1st!! truck works great!! i couldn't be happier. There are a few things i need to tweak as going on 5 hours of sleep in 3 days made my thoughts a little unclear and could have mounted things a little better. But whats a comp rig without any tweaking?? Anyway on to a few pics from sunday            |

That's a very creative way to mount the front and rear dig . Congratulations on the first place finish.

It'll never work!:-P edit: I do have one question. Why the switch up front? Assuming it is a front dig switch, are the wires run all the way from back to front twice? |

Ok a little update I didn't like the way i had the dig switches and servo mounted before. It was just way too high on top of the axle. I new before the comp it was a bad location but with time running out it was the only place i could see to mount it. And sure enough the first time i rolled it down a steap off camber ledge, I crushed the servo. luckily it was the last course and i could finish without needing the dig. Before: So i used the one bumper mount that came with the berg kit and made a new mout to protect and hide the servo and switches a little better. I really wanted to mount them inside the chassis but there was just no room, they are pretty well protected now but still the pefect placed rock in a roll my cause some damage. only time will tell. After:    | |

Second comp out with the berg.. i pulled a second place. winner was another berg tuber! congrats coles!! he was running losi claws and i was running panthers. for the first time since mounting my panthers i felt they did not hook up well. Coles made a few climbs look easy that i had some real trouble with. maybe it was the driving maybe it was the terrain, but he got me this time!! here are a couple shots from the day       Last edited by rockbound; 06-22-2008 at 07:13 PM. |
