|  My Kamikaze Kustoms Zero/Berg build PROJECT MAKE IT OR BREAK IT Ok first let me start by thanking Kamikaze for the kick ass chassis  The only thing i do not have to finish up this build is a set of wheels. Here is my parts list followed by a few pics Kamikaze Kustoms ZERO chassis Berg axles 45t v-11 motors CC Sidewinder ESC CC BEC Hitec 5955 steering servo Hitec micro servo for the dig Two micro switches Ax10 bent lower rear links Ax10 straight lower front links Traxxas revo pushrod #5319 rear upper links Traxxas revo pushrod #5318 front upper links Jp Customs 90 mm shocks Losi white springs front Losi yellow springs rear Nuts and screws from the Berg kit Panther tires DX3R radio This build went together without a snag other than i can not find any wheels i can get my hands on quick. With this setup I have just over 3inches of ride height and a 12 3/8 wheelbase. The suspension moves perfect and super smooth.The rear axle is clocked up as far as it can go without the upper rear links getting into the case at full flex and the front axle sits perfect for the steering. I must say this chassis with these axles will be hard to beat . Let us know what you think           Last edited by joesbruiser; 06-07-2008 at 09:59 PM. |

I agree that it looks really good. I like to see custom built rigs in any form of RC. Please post some more pics when finished.

I was working on this rig this morning and the more i looked at it the more i thought it needed a set of bent links up front. So before i ordered a set i noticed that the stock Berg links are a little longer than the Axial links this chassis uses and light bulbs  started to flash. I took the links provided in the Berg kit and the set screws then replaced the Berg junk ends with normal Traxxas ends. The length of this allowed me to place the links in the vice(they are solid links) and bend them untill the wheelbase was correct. So for people that do not have a set of Axial bent links and do not want to buy any this works great. A few pics. The links that i made are the ones on the front of the truck.   |
