| my berg lockout tire grab fix
ok, so after just playing around for 10 min i tore my new panther tires with the lock out on the rear of my berg. :-( i knew this was going to be a problem and i wanted to do something wuth it but just didn't have the chance and my new panther cougars came and i had to try them, never though i would tear the tire first time out o -well live and learn. on to the fix i used all the stock stuff just modified it a bit. the first pic shows were i drille the new mounting hole, it is 1/4" in from the original hole. i didn't cut off the end because there was room for it and just in case for what ever reason i wanted to change it back. second pic shows the cut off from the knuckle. after i remounted the link i swung it as far over as possible till it hit the housing for the knuckle, then centerd the knuckle and re drilled a new mount hole. third pic shows the new mount on the knuckle, i groubd in back round and smooth and you can see it is tucked far in by the rim!! no more ripped tires for me!! just wish i did it before the first casualty |

So I might be missing something but what's to stop the front's getting caught on the steering nuckles? Might we need to find a Mod for that as well?

the will, i made my front 1/4" wider over all, this pulled the tire away a little more, for the moment its the best i can do, just have to be careful.

Is this mod necessary if you're using the stock rims with panthers? I havn't assembled mine yet. Thanks.

Even with stock rims, the Courgars will wrap around the rear arm using stock foams.

Hmm..I'm a bit worried now. I have some Meyhem wheels in the new ocm offset on the way. with Panthers on the way as well. I was going to do the rear lockout mod. I guess i'll be looking for other ways to mod the front as well. Startin to wish I went with Rock Claws.
