TLTRyan's Berg 2.2

[TLTRyan]

After owning this truck for close to 3 weeks and seeing all of the OCM/Berg threads I guess I need to post mine.

Specs:
Integy 55t
Mamba Maxx
3cell 1500mah Li-Po
Hobbico CS-170 for steering
HS-81 + micro switch for Dig
CAC Tucker wheels
Nomadio react

Nothing special reallly. I used the Links included for the rear bumper for rear uppers. This clocked the rear motor up for clearance. I also limited the shocks inside and out to limit articulation. I have 3 3/8 under the skid.



This was with my F-350 body slammed.



I cut the F-350 to short so I needed a new comp legal body. I decided to give the C-10 a shot. It works pretty well.


So far the truck works great. I placed 3rd at the SERCRC comp on Saturday behind Kamikazes ZERO driven by joebruiser in 2nd and RXcrawler in 1st.

Only problems so far have been the Stub axles. I bent all 4 in its first outing so I replaced them with AX-10 stubs and they seem to hold up fine.

Truck looks good Ryan, and you know I love the wheels.

Have you had any problems with the axle shafts wanting to slide out of the diff after swaping the stubs?

Used 2 of the OCM rubber orings (or Fuel Tubing ) in the axial stubs to keep the inters pushed in .

[TLTRyan]

Thanks Joey.

I did just what Badd said, I reused the 0-rings out of the stock stubs.

It drives like a Caddy. Very smooth and predictable. Wish I knew how you get it to bunny hop though.

dude, you had to have lost a ton of turning radius with the way you clocked your front axle

tear that thing apart and clock it correctly you can prob get at least 1/3rd more turning radius.

other than that nice looking rig!!

can you please explain this more. i don't understand where you are putting them and why.

thanks

[JohnRobHolmes]

Only his rear axle is clocked.

Looks good! That stock chassis is tiny.

if you remove your stub axles and look inside the cup on the stub . You will see 2 O rings they are there to keep the inter axles from sliding out of the center locker . with out them the inter axle will slide out of the locker and also bind up in the stub .

ok that makes sense, from the pic i couldn't tell if it was front or rear, just assumed it was the front. my bad

ok, that kinda clears it up. i haven't torn apart the axles yet, i am guessing that there are no retainers on the inner axles shafts then? thanks!

You are right no retainer clips . here is a link to Axles tore apart . Time 2 Play the Game (Badd's OCM)
oh by the way Ryan I really like the Tuckers

[rockbound]

yeah, i saw that on your post, but i couldn't really tell from the pics if there were any retainers.

the tuckers are nice, i am running the sinners and a guy in my club has the tuckers. width wise our 2 trucks are almost identical believe it or not. his with the tuckers are only about 1/16 to an 1/8 at the most wider on each side. overall 1/8 to a 1/4.

tltryan, i like the c-10 body i looks great!

Thanks. The CAC wheels are the best I have ever owned. I would have never thought I would spend over $100 for s set of wheels, but they are well worth the money.

No leaks. I did limit them about 1/4in on the inside and 3/4in on the outside.

my shocks leaked horribly , the factory forgot to put o-rings in mine . i put 2 of the silicone o-rings from the kit in each shock and no more leaks . i think some shocks have them and other kits dont so check your shocks before filling .

Mine also. Berg Newage Shock Fix that is what I used to fix them. Could have also used the stock orings in the kit but I had the rebuild kit in my box already and it fit just right.

My 8 month old Losi's where showing some wear so I decided to try out some Panthers.

The compound is really soft so I decided against the memory foams they come with. I went with Axial foams in the front and Pro-Line foams in the rear and I narrowed the foams to the width of the wheels.

I really like the extra height and they seem to perform as good if not a little better than the Losi's.
