|  My ride on the Berg Bandwagon
Well, here is my version of the Berg build. It was a last minute build thanks to that special someone who got me a set of axles. I owe you one sweetie  If it hadn't been for you, I would have beem bringing a TLT knife to a Berg gunfight.  Berg axles JConcepts "Stage Killa" body Kamikaze Kustoms Zero chassis Kamikaxe Kustoms high clearance delrin lower links Revo upper links Frt and Rear dig Hitec 7955TG Hitec HS65 (dig servo) Mamba Max Castle BEC at 6.5 volts 3S 2200 Lipo 35 or 45 turn handwounds Mayhem Berg offset Competition Beadlocks Panther Cougars or Claws NWTracTech Reach Hybrids (8 in frt, 5 in rear) FubarCrawler rear lockouts 3.5 inch shocks with caps cut and rod ends installed These first few I was trying some AE truck shocks but didn't end up using them.   I just duplicated Dezfan's setup for the dig plate. Works perfect.  And with a std. servo hanging there for size reference for those never seeing a Zero in person.     |

I have only been running it a few days now but am headed out the door to the best spot we have around here. Definately a step above my old rig though. Pulled lines here at the home course that I couldn't with my other rig. I like it. |

Wow that's a good looking rig in every aspect right down to that slammed body and great paint. I hope it serves you well at the Nats. |

Thanks guys. I beat the hell out of it today. Only problems were a couple loose screws. The 3mm locknuts that come in the Berg kit don't seem to hold very strong. I ran it with an 1100 pack today and with a 2200 strapped to the rear axle. I definately liked the bigger batt. but even though it is down below the top of the tires and tucked up tight to the rear axle it did take a shot today, nothing major but enough to make me undecided on what batt I will usually run in here. Anything bigger than the 1100 in the belly gets into the lower links. I was thinking maybe an 1100 inside and another 1100 on the rear axle, I could get it up in there above the rear axle up out of the way. Last edited by Scattman; 08-29-2008 at 07:11 PM. |

Very nice looking setup. I bet it handles quite well. Seems to be the hot ticket these days (mines in the mail). A Zero and a Berg, sitting in a tree C.R.A.W.LI.N.G. |
