| Doodoob's Berged BJ
Well thanks to FrankyRizzo I got my Berg straightened out. The 3PM has whooped me twice now, once with the quark I was running and now with trying the 3rd channel for dig. I tried to put some Teflon on the axles to see if they would slide better on the rocks but first time out it ripped. So as it rips I am just gonna pull it off. Dont mind the extra BM on the rear. Its for a Suburban body I have. It will get a new body when I get back from the sand box. Any way on to the specs: CC BEC(Set @ 6.2v) CC 1/10 Sidewinder X-Caliber 15C 3-cell 11.1 volt 1650mah Revo shocks w/internal springs and 30wt oil Integy 55t Lathes w/ stock pinions FubarCrawlers' Berg Lockouts Rocksmith Gear Jelly in both axles Hitec 5955 Steering servo Rear Micro switch dig w/5645 VF Assassins w/Moab/Masher Hybrids Titanium BJ Futaba 3PM 2.4GHz TX/RX Custom battery mount on front upper links |

I like the black BlackJack. Keep a close eye on that RT side tvp plate though. It may be a little week without the brace like the LT side plate. Other than that, B-E-A-utiful, baby!!! |

| Dave has a Titanium version. I am actually running two open sides on mine and have had no issues.

I've got two Ti braced sides, no worry about mine breaking. Especially since my berg axles are lost in the mail.

Well I was very happy with how the Berged BJ performed today. However I was not happy that I bent two of my wheels and the fact that the servo tape coming loose on my dig servo. Made a couple of dig servo mounts out of delrin when I got home. |

Well it was time for a new body and a facelift .................................................. .................................................. ..so here it is. I had another Betty body, so I decided to cut and paint it up. It turned out ok. I am happy considering this is only the second body I have painted in the past 8 years or so! I have also added some of the new 5.5x 3 Aces donuts, chisels, and a set of DNA snipers. Franky helped me set up the new steering and electronics tray a while back. I also added a front/rear dig setup w/a losi MSX12 Digital Mini Servo, new chassis shelves/braces, and skid. The dig is not as clean as others but it works flawlessly!
