Default The BlackJack got Berg'd!!

This was the easiest swap I have done.

I flipped the link mounts on the axles. The lower links I was using fit perfect. The shocks mounted up above the links. I swapped the upper link ends with Maxx ones and the length was perfect. Running twin 55turns, Sidewinder and of course the Rizzo dig.

I am very impressed with the quality of the Bergs. Thank again to BD for snapping these up when he did.

I should have it on the rocks testing today.

RCP will have these in stock shortly. I would highly recommend you pick up a set.

Vanquish as we speak is working on a comp whell that will put the track width at 9 1/4 to 9 1/2. Stay tuned for those

Well actually these are Titanium and I just have this set. It is so stiff that I could do two open sides with no issue at all.

If I used the AL ones I would do the 2 braced sides.

To my surprise they were lighter and less chunky than I originally had envisioned. Very clean machining and the pewter finish is way cool. They are very smooth rolling and gears feel very well mated.

The rest of the parts in the kit are very nice. Even the wheels are very clean. I am just not a fan of 3 spoke wheels.

Looking good FR.

9 1/4 to 9 1/2 inch track width? Wow, that's narrow. I definitely want/need more info on these wheels. Keep us posted.

I had a special edition made for a few. If the demand is high I could see doing a few more.

They are pretty trick and it will never break.
