I am real new to this forum and to rc crawling. If you guys could give me some good info, I am woundering. What makes a good Chassis and good Chassis for my berg that I am getting ready to build? Also what makes a good chassis a good chassis for a shaft driven rig? Thanks guys....

Not sure, as I don't have Bergs (yet)- but my plan was to build them around either my Black Widow chassis or the RC4WD Diablo chassis.

Many people here have Berg builds.

Well i am curently running a mantis chassis from dna but it takes a lot to get used to it, one guy around my area runs a black widow chassis. The swx's seem to be liked along with the kamakaze (sp?) chassis, look at different build threads and see what people are using. Or do what i did and venture out and try something new that very few people have done.

Best Berg chassis

swisherteets · 04-02-2009, 08:50 PM

There is no real definative chassis out there but with Kamikaze Kustoms chassis' you cant go wrong with. His products are absolutely amazing and they have the absolute best customer service.
Another chassis that will work extrememly well is the DNA slingshot I havent seen the MOA version being sold yet but You can buy the Axial version and some 5/16 delrin tube to fab up some longer links and you got your self a really nice competitor

That first build link is freakin' sweet!

rechappens · 04-02-2009, 10:40 PM

Thanks for your help guys, now I have another question. What makes a MOA chassis different from a shaft chassis? I am going to read all the links that you guys gave me so I might find the answer their.

calikingcrawler · 04-02-2009, 11:03 PM

The TAG chassis is pretty sweet. They also do lower links. I am running the TAG~S on my Shafty rig. But they started with the MOA style rigs.

This is the best chassis I have used bar none. The only thing that you need to watch for is there are some vendors that sell here that take about 4 weeks to get you your stuff. They also erase any posts that say that they take four weeks so you would never know. The one thing I can say is Fubar ships super fast.

calikingcrawler · 04-02-2009, 11:11 PM

The MOA chassis can be alot narrower than a shafty rig. It can be lighter and the chassis really only has to be big enough to hold electronics.

A shafts chassis is heavier and wider because it holds the tranny and dig servo and electronics.

Thank you Calikingcrawler, so what about the length? I was told by someone who I think has some know how in RC crawling that the stock berg chassis is to short? Could this be possible? If so what is the superb length for a MOA chassis?

calikingcrawler · 04-02-2009, 11:46 PM

Search a guy : screen name "the eye" he would know the answer to that. His name is Aaron.
Personally I don't own a berg. But I want one.

That is a very bad ass looking chassis. Is there a benefit to using delrin over aluminum or carbon fiber? And WTF, i didnt know you can cut delrin with a laser???? Is Delrin this wonder material, I hear good things about it. Links are being made of it and being used and now I hear about this chassis? Is Plastic the way to go?

yeah that thing looks pretty f-n good, and it got nothing but great reviews and every one and there mother wants one. I was checking out the Mantis and I just did not like what I saw but one that I was looking at was the AKRCC Deimos MOA chassis. I liked what I saw.

Mic · 04-03-2009, 01:37 AM

I have had really good luck with all the vendors here on this board. If I were you I would stick with them. The Fubar Skeeter and the KK 3.5 ZERO are the 2 chassis that I have run and either would serve you well. I am sure there are other good ones but you can not go wrong with these two.
