After the last couple of comps I decided driving a Berg was easier than an Axial so I decided to join the dark side. And with ECC coming up I decided a last minute build was in order.

Axles Berg
ESC Mamba Max
Bec CC BEC
Servo Airtronics 474380 With a hitec 5955 as backup
Steering Kamikaze
Wheels Vanguish
Tires Panther Cougars
Motors 35T Warriors when they arrive 55T's for the shor term
Chassis HomerJ Poduction Proto (Maybe called the Longhorn)

whats up with your steering arm? thats gonna break off pretty quick.

fullsyzz · 03-31-2009, 10:34 PM

Man, I started my build a week ago and still aint done. Your build is like watching OCC put together a chopper on TV in 30 minutes!

Nice work!

I am waiting on an aluminum one from RPP so far its working good it's pretty beefy. I had an aluminum one on my AX and broke it in about 2 days and put the heavy duty plastic one on it and it lasted a year and a half.

Nice work!

I had the axles with the motors, servo, steering, and wheels already done before I started tonight. In all the build took about 4 hours. Thats with me building and HomerJ soldering and wiring.

Why did you slice your dig wires like that?

That's the splice for the Mamba Max.

HomerJ · 04-01-2009, 05:16 AM

The wires are all kinda crazy because we wanted to get it running first and foremost so he could get some practice in with it today and tomorrow. After ECC I'm sure we'll go back in and tidy it all up and make look a lot better. That's just the quick and dirty method of wiring up a dig haha.

MCSCOTT · 04-01-2009, 06:59 AM

Looks good. Looks like he's got several of those Mogwai chassis out there now.

comptonscrawler · 04-01-2009, 05:13 PM

Great looking build! When are you guys going to be back at the spillway?

BLUEJEEP · 04-01-2009, 06:26 PM

We'll be back down there on Apr. 11. I limited the shocks about 1/4in this morning and took it out for its maiden voyage and man it works way good.

HomerJ · 04-01-2009, 10:09 PM

Wait.. this means I'm a sponsor now.. ROFL.. man.. that's a scary thing...

BLUEJEEP · 04-02-2009, 05:34 AM

MATTJ · 04-02-2009, 08:56 PM

go get em' guys see you at the Laurel comp.

lt1wrangler · 04-04-2009, 05:50 AM

Nice job guys! I saw the chassis the other day and it looks like it will work great!

BLUEJEEP · 04-06-2009, 04:40 PM

Well I took it to ECC and placed 27th I truly beleive the rig was capable of winning but unfortunantly the driver sucked. I made two stupid mistakes and it took me out of the running.

nachtigal · 04-06-2009, 07:39 PM

Looks good guys. Can't wait to get a chassis.

HomerJ · 04-06-2009, 09:43 PM

Material will be in tomorrow morning, I'm going to start making chips fly right after work

So far I think I have 6 or 7 to make on this run

Boogie · 04-09-2009, 06:30 AM
