Here are the axles all done up with the new bearings,motors and the front axle has the axial stubs and VP knuckles installed. Waiting for my lockouts to finish the rear axle.

Fresh LT2 Chassis and links.

yotachump · 06-26-2009, 05:28 PM

I think I sent you (2) 30* and (2) 35* links didn't I?

4xFord · 06-26-2009, 07:32 PM

You will love the 13 tooth front for sure.

No they were all the same 30* links. No worries though because It looks like I might of had some shock clearance issues with the 35* on the back. The 30* are working just fine

Thanks Anthony.

Got a little more done this afternoon.

She's a roller!

dieselfuel · 06-26-2009, 09:45 PM

nice and clean. i like it. the belly clearance looks kinda tall, what is it?

yotachump · 06-27-2009, 12:54 AM

I swear I did, I would check again. 5* is not that much, you cant really see it, you have to put them next to each other... For the upper link I would run them in the center/center hole, it seems to work the best for me.

HOw did you mount your shocks? fuel line? fuel line with the big bores bind to much, I show you something better.

Sprint 80 · 06-27-2009, 03:44 AM

very clean build!

Da Hermit · 06-27-2009, 04:05 AM

Keep it rolling. It will soon be a winner.

Thanks. in the pic the clearance was at 3.5" but I have since moved shocks up to top hole and now it is sitting just under 3"

Yes sir I put them all together when they arrived and they were all the same. Thanks for the tip! I will move the front uppers down but on the rear if I move it down to the middle the links hit the gear housing under flex. Guess i will play with that a little and see what I come up with.

I used the bushings off my old assoc. shocks similar to the ones you used and they work nice!

Looks great! you may want to use the Axial bent link ends where the lower links meet the skid plates. I did and it worked well.

I ran into that to. Axial bent/offset rod ends on the axle end of the uppers fixed me right up.

You'll love this chassis. Best thing I've done to my Berg.

Thanks guys but.... I think the axial link ends only accept 3mm thread?

dpdsurf · 06-29-2009, 10:40 PM

Looking good Joel. Welcome to the right side.

You should be ok with 3-1/4" to 3-1/2" belly height depending on tire choice. 3" is too low IMO. Take advantage of the Berg's lower COG and lack of torque twist with awesome break over clearance.

gunnar · 06-29-2009, 10:59 PM

Well, with that rig and your three helpers, you should be kickin some butt at the comps. You certainly did well with the shafty. Great build!

Thanks Dave! I'll put the rig back up to the 3-1/2 height since Im gonna run some panthers and check that out. Thanks for the advise

Ya I had an accident a month ago and cant drive right now so my helpers brought me advise, parts and tools so I could get this build started. Still got my shafty but i had to see what the berg was all about. Thanks Scott.
