For the price, CKRC has a set of Berg axles on sale for $199 something......I just bought a set to keep around for spare parts, and I'll replace stuff as I use it, then already have axles for my next build. This way you have the bearings, gears, axles inner and outer........Everything.

LincolnBlack · 07-19-2009, 04:12 PM

Checked everywhere, and everywhere is out of stock. Don't really feel like forking out $200 for a set of axles I only need a few bits out of either.

I may send CKRC an email, see what sort of ETA there may be...

oldhippie · 07-19-2009, 04:53 PM

I'm pretty sure the Hotracing gears are the same.

Well, I'm sure all the gears will swap in, either way (berg to HR - HR to berg). The motor gear on the HR is standard 48 pitch, not metric. I know it can be swapped into a berg to run standard pinions. There is something else about them but I have crs.

LincolnBlack · 07-19-2009, 07:12 PM

Am I more likely to break a HR jobbie? What is the quality like on the HR gears?

Breaking is sort of secondary to running anyway!! At present, its not going anyway.

Well, I look at it like this, I got roughly $900-1000 in my comp rig, so $199 to have spares for my entire mechanical driveline, and a set ready for my next build is a two fold benefit. If I go to a comp, I can crawl the way I need to, not having to worry if I blow out a gear, locker, or axle.

As for job, I'm just a highschool/ Vo-tech school graduate electrician/ machinist/ welder - fabricator/ PLC programmer by trade.

The stuff I've built and worked on over the years got me into all different skills, and anything you can learn is a definite bonus.
