All I can say is WOW. I am running the D biscuit 45t handwounds and this thing screams. Mamba Max ESC and 4s is the way. If anyone was on the fence, leap off now.

dieselfuel · 06-26-2009, 04:20 PM

ive considered it... i break enough shit with 3s though, it would only get worse with 4s.

How's the clod stall? I was thinking 4s on 55t to eliminate most of the stall.

My normal setup is a 2200mah 4S and 35t handwounds...its too much fun to go back to a weaker setup now.

Although Ive been using 55ts temporarily since I cooked one of the handwounds.

Ive seen times where I could use even more wheelspeed to get up really slick and steep faces.

But thats just ridiculous for normal comp running

So how are the berg parts holding up? I ran a 4 cell in my super but the clod gears didn't like it.I did finely get some a steel racing gears to work

The only thing I have broken is dogbone pins. That isnt a problem when my steering is turned down though. I just like the 40-45* steering angle.

I took an outer housing bearing the other night too. That is just from long-term use though...I've had this thing since early November.
The gears look great still. I see no way of breaking gears unless a bearing goes out in the case itself and they bind themselves up

I have been running mine on 4s since the beginning. (a little over a year now) never had a problem with it. 4s, Sidewinder and 55t, more wheel speed then I could ever need, and the slow speed control of 55t.

-WHEELMAN- · 11-04-2009, 01:34 PM

I like the idea. How are your rigs holding up? Anybody else have coments on 3s or 4s?

Mic · 11-05-2009, 10:43 AM

Still running strong

landon4 · 11-05-2009, 10:57 AM

I run a 4s in mine pretty often and in my AX-10 both with sidewinders and never had a problem.

The Violator · 11-05-2009, 01:24 PM

I am still running 4s in my Berg. It eats the small 3rd gears if you shock load them, but I refuse to go back to 3s. On a side note, I have been running a Tekin FXR on 4s with no issues since worlds.

BigB_117 · 11-05-2009, 01:28 PM

I'm temped to try a 4S once I get my TorqueMaster ESC installed.. Does it feel a lot like the jump from 2S to 3S? 2S feels completely gutless to me after driving with 3S for so long...

Hildy · 11-05-2009, 07:36 PM

I just like the snappiness of it...makes the 3s feel sluggish

You can litterally hop over obstacles that were impossible before

JasonB · 11-06-2009, 10:46 PM

How\where are you guys mounting these 2200mah batteries? All the 1500mah+ lipos I have seen are super long. For a crawler that is.

Im running a Kamakazie Chassis for what its worth.

kikcaffine · 11-26-2009, 02:44 PM

So the general lot of you are running sidewinders? Where are you getting the 4s batteries from?

The day I found hobby city was the day RC became so much cheaper for me.

Good to know the sidewinder can handle 4 cell.
