|  iPhonewizz JP Racing *NEWBIE* Berg Build!
Started down the Berg build path, so much to learn! Here it is so far. I haven't been able to get the chassis, shocks and links that I really wanted, so I have bought some items that will get replaced as soon as I get more cash. It's tough trying to order stuff on the credit card when the wife is watching... It's all "momma don't know money" Parts list: (and listed second are the parts I will replace the current ones with) - JP Racing Chassis / will switch to CDW LT2 Chassis when released - CDW High Clearance Links (when released) - CDW 20* steering kit (when released) - Berg Axles - Avid Bearings - HH 45T hand wound motors - 12t berg pinions - Fubar rear lockouts - Vanquish High steer Knuckles - Axial Aluminum Hex - Axial stub axles - Yeah Racing Shocks / will switch to Traxxas T-Maxx Big Bore shocks - Losi white spring rear / Losi grays in front (extra soft) - Revo Link ends - Vanquish Revolver 2.2 wheels & weights - HB Rover Comp Tire / Blue Compound - PunkRC Dig Switch - FXR speed control - Hitec HSR-5980SG Servo (steel gears for digital robots?) - Spectrum Radio DX3R Motors, lockouts, servo mounts, dig switch and steering links still on their way! Here is the link to the pictures if they don't show up correctly: http://gallery.me.com/johnschafer#100131 Here is an update link to part of my build, again a special thanks to Mike (mann0man) at Hobbytown, Concord! His idea to modify an aftermarket axial delrin skid plate, it really turned out too perfect!!! Here is the update links to the pics: http://gallery.me.com/johnschafer#100146 I will post up more as I finish the build, a special thanks to 51504rock, rockcad, manoman, littlex and of course mr ricky from HT! I'm also posting a google map link and pictures to an insane crawling area that I went to today in Walnut Creek, I think it's comp worthy! I'm taking 51504rock over for a look!

John - the hellstrom looks good. It all looks pretty clean. I'm amazed at how well that skid worked out for just trying to make something work.

just lyk, those wheels are going to be too wide in the track width. not a berg offset. they'll work, just going to be extra wide.
