|  Zero!
Well I guess I should start a build thread for my Berg build. Calling this one ZERO in honer of Kamikaze's sweet ass chassis! If you guys are in the market for a chassis to use on your Berg build, I highly recommend it!  Also want to thank Jarrod from JP Custom RCs for the hook up on my Berg Axles as well as several other needed parts for this build! If you guys are building yourself a Berg based crawler, give Jarrod a call, he'll take care of you! I ordered just the axle kit, so I didn't receive any of the servo mounting hardware. Luckily Nluv showed me the way and I found all the needed parts at A-Main and got them ordered! Thanks man Parts list: Berg axles from JPCustom RC Kamikaze Kustom's Zero Chassis JP CUSTOM RC 35T Warrior & Holmes Hobbies HHH 35T motors Mamba Max ESC Castle BEC Hitec 5995 servo Hitec HS65 "Dig" servo Electro Disco 3 cell Lipo Mayhem's Berg Offset 7s Wheels Panther Cougar Tires w/ JConcepts Memory Foams JP Custom RC 90MM shocks Losi White & Yellow Springs STRC 30* Bent Links JConcepts Rock Steady Body Got the Zero chassis assembled, like I said I only ordered the axles so a few of the pieces used from the Berg kit to complete the chassis were not in my possession, no biggie, just some upper chassis braces. I used some Carbon Fiber tubing I had lying around to fab up the braces, took all of 5 minutes. This chassis is so light and it's TINY! I'm really digging it and I love the Rising Sun on the side of the chassis! Next I modded the rear lockouts to help prevent them from catching my Panther tires and cutting the sidewalls. Nothing fancy, just followed what others before me had done. After I had the lock out modded and flipped, I attached and clocked the rear axle to the chassis w/ a set of STRC 30* bent links and some assorted TLT rods I had lying around. I'll beef them up at some point in the near future. Well that's about it for tonight. So far very straight forward build, no surprises, and pretty easy to this point. I'm still waiting on my Mayhem's, some assorted hardware, Berg servo mount, and a servo for my electro disco. After I receive my other parts, I'll finish mounting up the front axle and go to work mounting up the electronics. I'll post up more progress as I go.

Well I finished mocking up the Zero. Now I need to tear it down and finish all of the little detail work that needs to be done. The skid needs to have the bottom edges beveled to prevent the chassis from catching on a sharp edge, the ball ends I ended up using on the front links at the chassis are binding, I need to pick up a few of the Axial belt ends like I'm using on the rear of the rig, still waiting on my Berg servo mount and my Losi White springs. Mounted up a set of Axial wheels to make it a roller, my center chassis clearance is sitting right at 3 inches, Pretty much what I was expecting. It's sitting at nearly 11 inches wide w/ the Axial wheels off set, can't wait on my Mayhems to arrive. I also threw the body on just to see how it would look, I think it's pretty sharp! Anyways here is tonight's progress.       Last edited by dezfan; 06-27-2008 at 09:43 PM. |
