Bergsta Ive been waiting about 4 months to build this, Ok story goes like this... I got offered a Chump RT but Rob and seeing ive been keen to run one for a while i jumped on it.. but due to comitments its just sat waiting and ove the coming months ive been collecting/building parts reay for the new direction... Then something unexpected happened, i seen Jake (Del Monte) made a cab for the chump, at first i didnt like it but then it grew on me fast lol So then it was check rules and pen to paper... http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1001.jpg (You didnt think i would give the design in the first pic do ya? http://www.crawlanz.com/images/smilies/icon/lol.gif ) Then shortly after bam... http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN0993.jpg Not too bad for my first cab i think.. weight to too shabby for alloy chassis, CF one and alloy hardware would see it in the high 50's http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN0998.jpg Ive been working on a few things to keep weight down too.. http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN0987.jpg http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN0988.jpg http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1007.jpg http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1008.jpg http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN0992.jpg http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN0989.jpg |
re: Bergsta The berg upper link mount is a bulky thing... http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN0999.jpg This is the machined one i did for the front... http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1003.jpg But i wanted to loose more for the rear so i came up with this... http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1000.jpg Some VP goodies for the front, made some nice brass bushes and new machined tubes (Ti tubes not finished yet) http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1006.jpg |
re: Bergsta And here it is http://www.crawlanz.com/images/smili...partydance.gif Sorry about the poor lighting http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1009.jpg http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1015.jpg http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1010.jpg http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1011.jpg http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1012.jpg http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1017.jpg http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1018.jpg Rear upper link mount.. also the rear sporting custom carbon fiber tubes... http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1013.jpg http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1020.jpg http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1014.jpg |
re: Bergsta Oh and weight came in at 1920g with the old electronics, for heavy berg axles i thought it was ok, got a lot more to loose More to come with new wheels etc as time permits:ror: I really didnt think i would ever go bodyless, the bj was the only one i liked and with half the crowd runing them i didnt want to look like the rest... you guys know me ive gotta be different and try something else lol.. i must say tho i think i nailed the look on this one:mrgreen: WB came in at 315mm... The cab was made with 1mm over spec each direction:twisted: |
re: Bergsta Looks great so far! On the links are you changing out the TI for 7075 Al. Thanks Ty |

re: Bergsta While looking at weight i thought i would check the weight of what i hold the esc's etc down with... http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1058.jpg No difference in traditional to the 3m self hooking stuff... im guessing the only way to save here is to use double sided, but i dont like the stuff http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1057.jpg I tried to get pics of it in the rig.. not easy with a topper is it http://www.crawlanz.com/images/smilies/icon/lol.gif http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1067.jpg http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1064.jpg http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1068.jpg Ive changed to xr10 hexes, these are machined down and have a snug fit to the 300's and my Ti axles http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1073.jpg Made some cheages to my servo mount and got 3g less http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1071.jpg Found these beef rod ends, i think they came in a jato pack? Revo one on the left http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1070.jpg And current weight http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1074.jpg Sidewinder micros are different.. more power, better drag, power hungry and after 2 lipo's i could be wrong but i dont think they are as smooth as the tekins :???: still a "thumbsup" for them Crawls 100x better than the last rig so far.. tackled the climbs around the house it could never do b4, and climbs the losi strugled on this thing was straight up :shock: i cant wait to get even more weight out of it, i reckon theres 150g at least to go :mrgreen: |

re: Bergsta Updates... Ok so last comp was rained out so was bashing the rig up/down steps at home and had a breakage of the rear upper link mount, not a fault of mine, just a snapped screw.... http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1175.jpg http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1177.jpg So made this to replace them.. http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1190.jpg New one is lighter than the old... two birds one stone:ror: http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1189.jpg Stock one weighs about 10g http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1194.jpg |
re: Bergsta Next i pulled the rear axle out to see what i could do... http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1208.jpg First i made some Ti tubes (just in case my carbon fiber ones fail at the nats this sat) and thought i would check the weight difference... http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1195.jpg Think i'll stick with the CF ones for a while lol http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1196.jpg The CF tubes have been holding up well to the punishment, i had one fail but that was me being too heavy handed on the tools when building haha Next up time to look at the gearbox.. stock weight is 41g http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1207.jpg Some special gears :mrgreen: http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1210.jpg The final weight... next up i'll be running 5mm lightweight axles and grab some lightweight motors too... not a bad weight for a berg axle hey http://i1232.photobucket.com/albums/...2/DSCN1212.jpg Apart for that ive been playing with shock/spring and link setups to find a medium im happy with, all up the rig now weight 19?? rtr... i really need to make some knuckle weights but lack the time to do so atm |
