At first I modified the stock stuff to comp legal specs and it worked great. These axles are freakin sweet. After seeing multiple Zero's competing in SERCRC I decided to change over and give it shot.

Rebuild Specs:
KK Zero w/ KK high clearance links
45T motors
CC mamba max
CC bec
hobbico cs170
Losi shocks
Panther cougars
Vanquish DH pro wheels
Fubarcrawler's Lockouts
NWTT reach #8 in front and #5 in rear
DX3
Axial XC-1 body

Always good to see another Zero! I am sure you are gonna love it!

yukon635 · 09-19-2008, 08:37 PM

I was able to transfer my dig setup from the stock chassis over to the zero. I am using a hitec-81 for a dig servo, which wouldnt fit in the KK electronics tray so it end up all working out.

Since the berg kit came with two skids I used one to mount all the dig electronics on. Works perfect and fits perfect within the Zero chassis

Now to work on the steering setup. More updates later

yukon635 · 09-20-2008, 06:59 AM

Got the steering setup. I dont know if I like it like this but I wanted to get the servo down and also I had to make room for the upper links to be spaced out.

joesbruiser · 09-20-2008, 07:49 AM

Just so you know you do not have to space the upper links out it works fine with them double triangulated.

jeepcj578 · 09-20-2008, 07:51 AM

i wanted to have mine low like that also, and after the first few rollovers i had tacoed the servo arm bad.

that is what i am afraid of. I may be hittin Kamikaze up for a high clearance steering link soon

yukon635 · 09-20-2008, 07:05 PM

Well got it running and got the body painted up and mounted. I dont think it can get any lower than this

What ya think?

RXcrawler · 09-21-2008, 08:21 AM

Looks good Kevin. I think you can get it lower... I had to cut the rear like you did so the links would have some where to go!!!

Master Basher · 09-22-2008, 10:40 PM

the body cut out for the shocks looks cool.

toiboi808 · 09-23-2008, 02:07 AM

body looks good as low as you can go

Brandon · 09-23-2008, 10:13 AM

Nice job on the body. Love the orange

toy4crawlin · 09-23-2008, 10:24 AM

I have to say that is sweet looking, cool body to boot

Going to get me one one of these days, have lots of rc parts to sell ,new axial axles , max super & a lot more

yukon635 · 09-30-2008, 09:51 PM

Thanks guys for all the compliments. All I need now is my new KK steering link

LOOK AT WHAT SHOWED UP TODAY !!!!!

All I can saw is WOW

I was speechless when i opened the box and peeled off the protective plastic. The engraving is top notch work. The pics show a bunch of scuff marks but that is from the table. These came perfectly clear

They handle the 2.2 weight just fine and I dont think it will have trouble holding my PIG of a SUPER.

Brandon · 09-30-2008, 10:31 PM

Looks great. I love mine!

yukon635 · 10-14-2008, 10:25 PM

got a few pics from Crawlapalooza 08

yukon635 · 10-28-2008, 12:09 PM

Got some new wheels

I was able to pull the rear to 10 1/16" wide and the front to 10 1/8"

These were some of the easiest wheels I have ever mounted.

I also got me some new rubbers too

These are the white compound

dezfan · 10-28-2008, 12:36 PM

Looks good man! Can't wait to hear your opinion on the HB tires.

I need to update my Zero build.

thanks Dez.

Now that it is the off season, I am going to rework the entire 2.2. I want some handwound motors but dont have the money to buy them so I decided to try my hand at winding my own.

Thanks to JRH for doing a great write up and BADD for the tips

Link I have gotten one done and my freakin fingers are killing me with trying to keep everything tight and even. One thing he forgot to mention that you will need is 'concentration.' I think i had to unwind two comms to recount them because i was too busy watching monday night football

by the time I was on the final comm, I figured out that leaving the magnet wire on the spool and using the spool to pull tight was the easiest and best way instead of using your hands and fingers to pull and hold

I ended up using the largest gauge wire (22 I think) that came in the trio package.

Radron · 10-28-2008, 08:18 PM

Nice work on the hand wind!

Thanks for the link,I was wanting to try doing it myself too!

Nice job on the Berg also!!

What's the part # for those tires?

Thanks, Ron
