DISTURBIN' tha PEACE · 06-09-2008, 07:27 PM

After driving sprint80's OCM last month & driving better with his rig than I do with my own, I knew I had to get one of these. It came in last week, just in time for HRCC's Summer Series comp#1. My original plan was to use my Hustler chassis that has been sitting since getting PC'ed. Well didn't have the time to go get it from the Rydefab shop. So, I tore apart my VF Slingshot w/axials. The berg axles were nearly a direct fit. The only thing I needed to do was to replace the front lower rod ends fron Revo's to Jato's That clocked the front axle back down to give me the proper castor. The rear axle ended up being perfectly clocked to get the motor up & out of the way. It sits at a perfect 12.5wb & a RCH over 3"gc all the way from behind the front tires to in front of the rears.

Axles- enRoute Berg 2.2
Chassis- VF_Slingshot_w/HC_links
Shocks- Losi .6 buggy shocks
1x Cups&ends
4x Ti-niride_shafts
2x Threaded_body
4x Cartridge
1x Shock_pistons
1x 80wt_oil
Springs- Front_red/Rear_black
Battery- 3c Lipo
Motors- 55t lathes for now
ESC- Tekin_FXR
V. regulator- CC_BEC
Steering servo- Hitech_5995tg
Dig servo- Hitech_5245mg
Radio- Spektrum_DX3R
Rims- VF_Stalkers comming soon
Tires- Panther Cougars
Body- Losi_Grappler

Misc.
Revo_rod_ends
Jato_rod_ends

Here's some comp action shots bringing home the gold.

Nice! What did you think of the width with the Berg wheels? Did it give you any troubles with getting thru gates?

dezfan · 06-09-2008, 08:29 PM

Not bad Sheldon, not bad at all!

The wheels are ugly, but the colors were perfect.

yotachump · 06-09-2008, 08:51 PM

Looks good.

Those rock have to much traction

I will have to agree with dezfan on this part

Thanks, the width was fine. No problems yesteday, I did hit 1 gate but it was not because of the width. Many had trouble at that gate.

Thanks Dez. If it were not for the gold, they'd be still in the box th the rest of the stock stuff.

That spot is a traction nightmare, way too much.

i like it! im seeing more of these berged based 2.2 more and more. Looks like a future project for me. Nice pics aswell, look like you can get a lot of traction on those rocks. Where the hell did they get those red and blue tennis markers at? great job on the build.

Sprint 80 · 06-10-2008, 02:13 AM

Nice rig in such a short build time!!! But, I wouldn't expect anything less from you. Great job at Sunday's comp. You drove that rig like you were driving that rig all season.

I guess the Bergler stole the Gold!

rn38 · 06-10-2008, 02:31 AM

Yeah congrats again!! Sweet rig these are the future huh. Iv'e been looking at these since they were released. Well I guess I just can't wait

. shhhh

eric113 · 06-10-2008, 06:16 AM

Dtp,

So the .6's would be equal to 3.5'' shock ?

I believe so. Front buggy shocks. I'll check at home tonight.

kalani · 06-10-2008, 04:28 PM

So your running two 55t's off of one FX-R? Can handle? If I don't need to, I would just want to run one FX-R. I am thinking of getting this rig, looks very good. Any off body pics? Mahalos.

rn38 · 06-11-2008, 02:38 PM

RydeFab · 06-11-2008, 10:58 PM
