well, this is my third berg build. it is also the first one i have posted. this is easily the most capable truck i have ever driven.

here are some pictures,

Body on,

Body off,

kamikaze's electronics plate makes wiring this thing way too easy

sorry abot the crappy pictures, i used a prototype camera that i borrowed from work (HP). my good camera is m.i.a. right now

Specs:

HARDWARE:
Kamikaze Kustoms Zero 3.5
KK Skid Plate
KK Lower Links
KK Electronics Tray
KK Rear Axle Tray
Traxxas 5318 and 5319 links (f,r)
Enroute Berg Axles (duh)
Vanquish Product DH wheels
Panther Tires
Losi .9 shocks

ELECTRONICS:
Hitec 5955 steering servo
Hitec hs55 dig servo
Mamba Max
Nomadio React
Spectrum Reciever
Castle BEC
Integy 45t motors

also i have finally realized why everyone was raving about the panthers, when i first got them i ran EeePee's setup without much luck. tried a couple of other things, and i still felt my losi's out performed them. the tires sat for a while until this build came along and i decided to try them once again. i tried something "out of the box" with the foams, and damn these things hook up. i made a climb in rear wheel drive (front motor wire came unsoldered) that my losi's needed tons of wheelspeed to get up

OH YEAH,

I Heard it was cool to post up your results,

RAUL DUKE: -17 (ZERO 4.0 BERG, PANTHER COUGARS)
E-HILLS4x4: -15 (ZERO 3.5 BERG, PANTHER COUGARS)
CARVER: -3 (ZERO 4.0 BERG, PANTHER COUGARS)
CALCAT430D: 50 (AXIAL, PROLINE BADLANDS)
TYBRITTAIN: 53 (AXIAL, PROLINE HAMMERS

KK ZERO/PANTHER SWEEP ACROSS THE PODIUM!!

My ears were burning. Which set up did you try? The Axial foams, the Axial and Losi foams, the Northwest Traction Memory foams, the Panther memory foam with an Axial on the outside, or the new secret set up I haven't told anyone about yet?

Congrats on the podium finish.

nice setup. I can't make up my mind on whether to go with the 3.5 or the 4.0 and now I am leaning toward the 3.5. Thanks for posting this up.

Nabil · 10-16-2008, 11:46 PM

the 4.0 is easier/cheaper to get shocks for. i think i have $80 in piecing these losi's together

I already have a really nice set of 3.5" asociated shocks that would work great on this chassis.
