Default Berg ZERO

I bought 2 Bergs a while back, One went onto the Dmg Tuber and after studying some of the Sercc's events results and studying of some of the Top finishers, Joesbruiser(on a mission) Kamikaze,RX (no words needed there) and others. I decided to go with whats on top right now, The ZERO from Kamikaze Kustoms. No big rush now just trying to be ready for next season(workload is a lot lighter).

Here we go:
The ZERO
Spektrum sr3500 rx
Mamba Max
CC BEC
MaxAmps 3s 1100's(no longer as of 12/22/200
Hitec 5955tg
JR mini dig servo
Rat Shack dig switches
HH's Handwound 45t's(when available)
Mayhem berg offset CDP's
Panthers
Body????
Delrin lower links for now
Traxxas uppers (cut and rethreaded to proper lenght
Some pics:
Had to paint the inlay red to pay respect to the creator(I just think it looks cool)

The electronics tray is absolutely a time saver and makes for a very clean build. Good thinking on this one Kamikaze

I did the same color treatment to my Delrin Zero.

Looks like a clean build to this point. Here are you planning on mounting your battery?

I mounted mine on the skid, but being a 3S 2200 lipo, i was a tight squeez. I'm going to play w/ a few other locations.

You got it going on with your Zero Ted, if I do a shaftless rig I will do it in the off season myself so I can totally relate to your schedule.

Hey Ted a little a few words of advise. The delrin wheels are crazy light so make sure to add enough weight to get them back up to the weight of the aluminum ones.
Also I have a new foam setup that I feel is working better than the NWTT foams and are way cheaper.

I ended up adding weight to my delrin wheels on all 4 corners to get the weight back up to what I was with my aluminum wheels:-(
