I went for an axial chassis and I really like it. Hell, you probably already have one, cut a narrow skid for it and give it a shot. If you don't like it go some other route. Just get it out on the rocks! The mayhem wheels are awesome. I'm still running claws because I'm used to them. The panthers are very good, but knowing how a tire (and your rig) responds is worth more than anything else.

KK zero the only berg specific chassis, also with the KK skid you have the 3.5,4.o,T and the D hows that for some options  ...VP Dirty Harry's are a great choice , again more options, you choose your off-set Panthers are really nice once you get you foams dialed  |

I am really really happy with my Vanquish Pro Comp Dirty Harry's. Running 6 lugs in the front, 3 in the rear. Panther Cougars on them, and the Hybrid Reach foams in them. Did I say that I LOVED this setup??? :-P

if you go with panthers stuff them bad boys with foam, they fold over kind of easy and i hear the zero is one of the best.

TCS Berg Chassis. It allows for long equal length upper and lower links. It works with 4" and 5" shocks. Holes provided for rear axle clocking. Panther tires, with Hybrid All-weather foams DNA wheels |

Go with a Kamikaze Kustoms 3.5 or 4.0, you will not be disapointed. The chassis is awesome, best one I've had between my bergs. As far as wheels go, Mayhem Engineering 7's there the s***t. Delrin or Al. And tires, go with Losi Claws. Your 45turns will tear the heck out of the panthers, They are really soft and tend to be too sticky. Good luck

My Panthers are holding up fine and I run hand wound 35t motors on 3S lipo. As for the chassis, I like the Zero and the Double D, but there are lot's of great choices. | |
