I'm on board for a set of the aluminum versions! This actually works out pretty well for me. This is how I have rationalized it to myself: Berg axles - $200 Machined Tubes - $200 Steering Kit - $50 Axial Aluminum C's - $30 Super 300 Axles - $130 RC Axle Master Straights - $85 7075 Lockers - $22 That's $717!!!! So this way I am still saving over a hundred dollars by buying these |

Hey man just a thought, I know that there are pictures of the axles in other threads but might be worth putting up a few pictures in these threads? The outlay is pretty hefty (it is a quality product and one being built for a niche so worth it IMO) so always good to see the list of whats included and what visually what all those parts look like. Just my 5 pence worth |

Dave my only question is about the the servo plate for only 400 motors, am guessing if you use 540 motors you will not need this servo plate? And if you are planning on making something for 540 motors? Thanks

What we did for the other truck was to make one out of .050 aluminum plate material. took about 10 min with a pair of tin snips and a drill. we bolted it to the lower link mount. At this time I wont produce this part as it is car specific, every endbell, link setup, linkmount spacing will use a different mount. I will try and get some pics put up of the other setup this weekend for everyone. hope this is a little clearer than mud for ya | |

You know I had to be the first lol . What is the only size pinion you can use? So in short as of right now you can not run 540 cans on these axles without modding your own motor, servo bracket right? Just want to make sure befor I tear apart my other Berg to purchase this great product. Another question wanted to ask are the 2 300's only for the TI version or will it be also for the AI version too? Thank you sir Quote:

Greg(86 Jeep) helped me out with weights since im out of town. here they are Ti-Fighter front-9.8oz. rear-6.5oz. Stock berg front-13.80z. rear-11.40z. These are approx. weights without motors The weights arent the only thing to keep in mind, as the gained clearance in both axles is extremely noticable. The Al version will be slightly lighter. One of the other large benefits is that the motors no longer drag due to the fact they are right next to the axle Quote:
the motor will bolt on to the supplied motor plate, though you will need to build your own servo support bracket. Both sets of housings will be supplied the same with the exception of the tubes and the cases. Last edited by SDS Customz; 01-05-2011 at 07:45 PM. | ||
